    Thanks stinky. :T

    I have bloody well given it a go too. :D

    Was tempted to do a second order but don't think I would be able to keep a straight face handing a card over with nearly £1000 points if it's honoured. :eek:
    Omg I have done five orders shall I stop now?

    Do b00ts.com bonus point offers usually get picked up the same way on the instore tills?
    You can spend your points online so no one would even notice then. I'm not sure if you can buy white goods from boots with points too.

    Thank you for the Boots info - I ordered 2 of the sleep balm sets at £6.xx each, and 26.000 points were added. Has anyone worked out how the glitch is allocating the points? ps Happy Christmas Eve x

    It's 2000 points (£20) per £1 spent.

    I don't much care why :rotfl:

    That's not what I meant.

    I meant rather than wait until the 29th, 30th, 31st (or whenever you can get these delivered to store) can we just go instore and buy the products to get the points today?

    I think this is just usual me, out of kilter with everyone in the rest of the conversation again:rotfl:. We have times when everyone else is posting about friends, problems, having conversation on the thread back and forth etc. and I'm the only one, hard at work posting stuff on moneysaving, usually regarding M. Now everyone else is posting moneysaving and I'm the only one on something else irrelevant:rotfl:.

    I don't have any moneysaving I don't think, it's Christmas Eve! No shopping today. But, to rescue myself, I'm just looking at a few products and prices I took from M, as if I stole them haha:D:rotfl::rotfl:, and I think I saw the McVities Fruit Shortcake posted as comparing against M - I may be wrong - at 50p the other day. Well, they are now £1.09 in M so I don't think they'll work soon! If they aren't already losing out. Of course, as usual, the own brand Fruit Shortcake same size - and I caught the one in Lidl last week and it even looks like McVities, obviously it's not but it even looks very similar - wouldn't put it past McVities to be making the Lidl one too - I bet it's nearly exactly the same! - the own brand same size vs M would hopefully be cheaper. 2 for 70p or probably 45p individual on that so, I wondered at the time, why would anyone compare same weight Fruit Shortcake, just because it is McVities, against 50p? That's probably the whole reason - because it's McVities:doh::wall::rotfl:.

    So, my moneysaving tip of the day: don't try McVities Fruit Shortcake vs M:rotfl::rotfl::money::rotfl:.

    Good to have been here, see you later!:wave:

    Will probably work until whenever the update from Wednesday collection comes in. I don't know if, with it being Christmas Eve, whether it might go into the system a little earlier than usual. Maybe it'll still update sometime on Christmas Day if it's automatic. Normally, we've had information coming through at about 7pm-8pm on the day after the price collection. Which suggests might work, in effect, all day today but maybe not for the odd shops done really late (before early closing time today). Obviously, if it changes tomorrow, it's irrelevant as long as we've bought before Christmas and checked in time. But it is Christmas Eve, so I don't know.

    Really?:rotfl: Depends what word you said I suppose. (I will not ask.)

    I have probably done it on several occasions. I swear in everyday conversation. I was trying to get all the paperwork out of my bag and wallet and with frustration I would say the F word and B word not with anger or at the cashier
    I have dyslexia, so get used to my spelling and grammar :)
