Boots Grabbit Bargains Thread part 9 - post your finds here

SPANIEL36

At the start of april, the points awarded per spend has changed. You only get 4 points per FULL pound spend (spend 99p you dont get any points) a bit like tesco does.

In the earlier thread by redfox, the person didn't receive a 5 pound voucher when 10 pound was spent. you dont get these vouchers when you spend your points, only when using "proper" methods of payment including boots vouchers

I'll be away until the 22, does anyone know when new offers and vouchers start? Any ideas?

ps: A bit off topic (but this was the actual purpose of my post :rolleyes:), but I have 2 sets of free entrance tickets for the atractions that were offered (with tokens) a while ago in the daily mirror to be used until the 20th July incl, valid for one adult or one child.
Tha attractions are:
2x Legoland windsor - TAKEN
2x the dungeons: london, york, edinburgh TAKEN
2x sea life: brighton, weymouth, great yarmouth, blackpool, birmingham, bray, loch lomond TAKEN
2x sea life sanctuary oban, hustanton, gweek sanctuaries

Since you've all been so helpful, I'd like to tell you this first, should any of you want any of these vouchers, PM me asap and I will send them to you on Monday. I'll PM you later for the address.

I tried to use mine this morning but it wouldn't go through. Gutted as Boots only posted it to me this week. The SA wanted to go and get the No. 7 SA but I didn't want her examining my purchases. She looks rather ferocious. That and she might have spotted all my freebies.

The points system did change recently so that you now get 4 points for each pound spent. i.e. a 99p spend gets you no points, but a £1 spend gets you 4 points, for a £1.99 spend you still get 4 points, but for £2 you get 8 points (I think thats right anyway!!).
So surely you should have got 20 points for the first shop and 12 for the second...plus your 100 extra points????

I think when you use an 'xxx points when you buy....' voucher you ONLY get those points, not the standard ones on top. I bought a memory card a few weeks ago for £4.99 with the 500pts voucher and didn't buy anything else, and I earned 500pts exactly.

Yeah I bought 3 gorgeous palettes thinking they would cost about £15 with the voucher and 3 for 2. It didn't work

jeeeesh!! that was my plan as well. boots is too much effort these days, i seem to be loosing the plot with it all!! i want the old days back!! hmmm gosh seems like that may end up being a wasted voucher for me if it doesnt go through on 3 for 2 :mad: :mad: :mad:

Hi all,

Went to Boots of course after work. Returned a couple of items. Got a Boots mag and brought 2 x 1/2 price baby clothes for £7.50. Paid with points. DH will give me the money back as I offered to buy him a gift for his aunts baby.

Picked up a couple of different tiny sachets of Olay moisturiser they had wrapped in a small leaflet.

2nd Boots

Brought 1 x Bodyform maxi reduced to 75p, used 100 points voucher from AC machine I printed off yesterday (which was lucky as I don't normally do that). Then used another 172 of my precious points on a large bottle of reduced head & shoulders shampoo which I gave my lovely mum.

3rd Boots

Didn't get anything. :eek:

Can't wait until tomorrow. Going Bootsing again. :T :rotfl:

Just make me jealous- would somebody please describe the EA set: as NONE of the ACM machines here work (which probably means there is not a single ACM in South Wales until Cardiff!!!!) and even when they were working nobody I had spoken to had had the voucher.

I was in Quadrent Boots last week and must have been lucky as upstairs machine was working but not one downstairs and got the freebie.Both machines in the Bridgend store were working today-had to check them out as l was passing.they have the EA sets so might be worth a trip!clearance shelves are pretty dire.
