    Do I have to spend the required amount (£15?) to get the Max Factor GWP? Or does it go through free? I'm sorry if this has been asked already but I don't do much Bootsing these days as I have a rubbish store with no AC machine and not many pennies :rolleyes: .

    TIA


    You do need to spend £15 to get this gift:rolleyes:

    I tried holding on to eyeliner to see if it went through with less than £15 but no luck!
    :j I love bargains:j
    I love MSE

    My Boots does (Oxford City Centre) - they are upstairs tucked away behind the till opposite the photo-processing area. They also do adopt-something-fluffy packs too. I don't know if they are restricted to larger stores and they definitly tend to get more in round Christmas. I had a look yesterday and they had a photography one, a "petrolheads" one, one for ferrari driving, one for flying, one for a variety of different activities for two people, one for pampering and one for teenagers. They are the activity superstore ones. Be really careful with the dates though - some of them expire by 1st Dec 2007, others by the 1st June 2008 - you can extend the vouchers subject to the locations discretion but it'll cost you extra (I had to do this with one last week because OH had forgotten about it - cost around £15 to extend).

    Excellent, thanks!

    Thanks so much to the camera offers OP!!!!

    Grabbed myself a Kodak Z700 yesterday for £40.......and I love it!! :j

    Also got Nicky Clarke Multi Plate Ceramic straighteners for a tenner. Gave them a quite trial-run last night and they are great on my longish hair :D

    Chuffed to bits, and I used £17 in vouchers earned on survey sites, so only payed £33 cash :cool:

    This was in Purley Way Boots, just outside Croydon.
    2008 gig list... Nickelback + Staind (OMG...Staind ROCKED!!), Roger Waters, Infadels, Pendulum, The Police, K T Tunstall, Breed 77, Biffy Clyro....oh, and Motorhead :D

    Got a mailing this morning - related to Max Factor Mascara's. Has anyone else got these?? There were 2 - 200points for 1 mascara, and 500 for 2 mascaras.

    Does anyone know if these will scan without purchase? Or are they returnable if i buy just for the points?? Will i also be entitled to the GWP??

    TIA

    There's no return on cosmetics.
    Which I don't understand because they take back bikini briefs :eek:

    Really? My Mum took back a mascara for me last week all sealed with security tag. I've got one to take back too....maybe it's ok if they're sealed?

    I now have close to £300 on my ad. card.....is there any way to turn it into cash? Can I buy gift vouchers with points? Am wondering what to do with them all as I have plenty of toiletries to last me a while!!:D

    Yeah it's really strange, the only things we've been told not to accept back are cosmetics and hair accessories unless they're faulty.

    Even more weird is the fact that they accept wax heating kits, shavers and epialators back in our store.
