Origins @ Boots.com = 750 points per product

Following on from the YSL glitch, there seems to be another one as well. The offer is that you have to buy 2 Origins items and 1 has to be a certain product. Whilst being bored, I clicked on various buttons and found that any of the selected Origins items in the promotion will give you 750 points. So if you buy 2 items, it will give you 1500 points, 3 items is 2250 points and so on. The link is as below:

http://www.boots.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/CatalogSearchResultView?storeId=10052&st=specificPromo&promoName=750+points+when+you+buy+2+selected+Origins+products%26%2344%3B+1+to+be+plantscription%0A&langId=-1&catalogId=10551

Could work out quite well if you use this range as effectively it will be £7.50 off per item you purchase as it will be put on to you advantage card.

There is also a code lurking around if you search using Google. If you spend £90 or more, they give you £9 off. So linked in with the YSL offer, your advantage card could become very healthy indeed. Please also do not forget to use Quidco or TCB as that will give you another saving.

HTH.

PS. Boots might cancel orders but there is no harm in trying. Good luck.

  • Good spot! There aren't many reviews for their products.Is their range supposed to be 'natural' / free of nasties? Any recommendations much appreciated! x

    I think someone will be getting the sack at Boots tomorrow!

    Albeit the Origins range seems pricey anyway.

    I think that's what they are supposed to be. If you look at the items, they all seem to have natural ingredients such as charcoal, turmeric and ginger. Has anyone ever used any of the ginger lotions and potions? Are they any good?

    They tend to have an Origins concession in bigger Boots stores and in Debenhams and House Of Fraser, but truth be told, I have never used any of their products.

    I use this stuff all the time as I don't like taking pills for headaches, stress and whatnot.

    My son bought me the Ginger Souffle stuff for Mothers Day and I must say it is absolutely gorgeous. The smell is fab and lasts for hours on the skin. I'm definitely going to buy more when it's gone - may be expensive but worth it IMO.
    I let my mind wander and it never came back!

    Thanks mimi1234, I've been using Origins for years and absolutely love the ginger range. It's owned by the Estee Lauder group so is top quality, but expensive.

    I have been using the PLantscription range and find it really good and am in love with the exfoliating pads.http://www.boots.com/en/Origins-Brighter-by-Nature-Peel-Pads-40-Pads_1051615/

    Come on, it's a glitch.
    People can and will buy as many as they like, to try, to use and to sell for profit.
    Just how it is
