    Ha ha! Well done for "training" your OH! Maybe you could publish a manual for us? I'm sure a lot of us could use some help! :D

    I went to get the Rapid white stick with the voucher i was kindly sent, but it wouldn't go through, so the SA had to enter it manually, and just like someone said previously, that cancelled the "glitch....I had to pay £4 odds for it. Ah well, still a bargain! Has anyone noticed a difference yet?

    Also found some clearance items for the first time in my local Boots! yipee!
    Got a wee perfume vaporizer (dunno the correct word!) and a tea tree stick for £1.50 (both half price and on BOGOF). Quite chuffed! lol


    Oooooooh I've now got a star under my name!!! How did that happen? :O)

    I had the same problem. Was in Boots with my cousin who got about 10 different vouchers and all I got was compos - since January when I got my card. I have emailed Boots and they are transferring points and issuing me with a new one. I had tried umpteen branches and machines so there must be a faulty batch of cards. Have got to wait a couple of weeks for it. HTH.

    If anyone wants to get the link for extra 250 points on £40, 500 points on £45, and 750 points on £50 spending, please go to this link http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/showthread.html?t=493823&highlight=boots

    Including the link for coupon printing for 100 points on £10 spending in store.

    That thread is linking from different ones of different posters into one thread (though I am not the first one who started the thread). Can't take credit for myself.

    I bought some of those "make your own" postcards a while back at £1 & they are really ggod, I got blue & yellow. When using them, once you put photo in seal them underneath you should see what I mean but it's not that obvious.
