OMG!

I have just checked my points online and it says I have got -7200 points pending!!!

Has this happened to anyone before? I am now slightly worried to put my card into the ACM in case it will update it.

I think this is the amount of points I received some months back for my online orders as they were never added onto my AC in the first place. ANy help would be much appreciated!!!

EDIT::: OOOOPS I just realised you said minus points. Still don't worry - your account would have been updated ages ago but online sometimes shows mad figures that aren't true. Any problems (unlikely) call CS.

Went back to Fareham store today, 3 weeks after my 1st visit and all the fitness stuff on the 1st floor is still there and marked at their original pricing.
Most of this has at least 75% off, if you're in the area go grab a bargain.

We grabbed a load of fitness products on our 1st visit, though today got the PowerBreathe - priced at £49.99, though scanned at £9.99. All 3 variaties available.
Their Original price is a bit over the mark, though sell for £29.99 @ Argos
http://www.argos.co.uk/static/Product/partNumber/0104425.htm so for £9.99 its a bargain.

Here's the Powerbreathe website if you want to know what it's all about http://www.powerbreathe.com/homep.html

I also wanted a pedometer, but their cheapest is £2.99, but then found a walking kit which includes Belt with water bottle and pocket for mp3 player, 2 x 450g wrist weights, as well as a pedometer, all from £14.99 to only £3.19.

Also got 3 workout dvd's that were priced at £12.99 & £10.99, but these scanned at £3.24 & £2.74

2kg handweights were £7.99 now £1.99, and last a Gym Towel from £4.99 to £1.24

So in all we spent £28.08, with a saving of £95.66 and of course triple points.

Tip - if you're looking to buy these products grab a trolley and not a basket like us........... I feel like Mr Tickle :rotfl:

I never thought I would say this but I HATE BOOTS!!!!!!!
I tried taking back the no7 products that I said I havd telephoned cs about the other day. The manager was not having any of it and I felt like a thief! She has kept the products and taken my name and telephone number and said she will get back to me. Now I have purchased these and surely am entitled to a refund onto a gift card like customer services said? How does she think she is going to be able to check if I bought the items with just a name and telephone number? Surely she would need my advantage card number or something to that efect?

Sounds horrible!

She will only be able to check that they've sold them, not that it was you that bought them, I'd have thought. Perhaps they've had a lot stolen recently. Still no excuse to treat you like that tho!

Thing is I never expected to be able to take them back - it was only that I rang customer service on the off chance and they were lobely and said the store should take them back no problem. Wish I had sold them on ebay now!

Hang on a minute..... The manager took the products off you??? Why???? What proof do you have now that she has the products? Did she give you a reciept as you're entitled, as proof??

I would get back on the phone to customer service asap, as this is not ethical practice and bordering on the line of theft from you.
