    I need help here. Not much of a Boots glitcher but what is the benefit of collecting Boots points? They tend to be pricey for me and I know in Jan they do big sales and people spend them there but I find it too overcrowded and pushy to go.

    What do you tend to spend your points on? I'm thinking I'm spending £50 cash to get £30 points which means I've paid £20 for a few items which is a good deal but is that what this deal is about?

    Hmm one more question. It seems like the No7 mirror trick isn't working this time with the code (I know the price has gone up as well). What about for anyone else?

    Re points spending, I often just spend them on things I'd buy anyway but re the sales, you can spend points online now so that's a better way of sales shopping without all the hassle of being there!

    Thanks. So I guess I could use them when the advantage card can give 25% off and the items are half price.

    I'm trying to get a better combination to £50 points but it will take some time lol.

    If I don't like a premium beauty item which I collect from store, can I change it for something else on the same points offer if they sell the range?

    I would have thought the fact you have not left the store but I am not really sure. Some stores are funny about cosmetics.

    I can't get the £10 of points on a £50 spend to work, I've got the 1000 + 750 dior working, I added items to over £50, I've tried being signed in and not, no joy!

    Keep adding cheaper items and it might make it 'wakeup' then start messing about with it.

    Doesn't make sense whatsoever but that's what I did.:o

    Try putting three Dior products in including a mascara/foundation and seeing if it adds it then, if it does then remove the mascara and leave the two you want, hopefully the 1000 should still be there....
