I used my £5.00 fragrance voucer this morning on a bottle of CK Be that was reduced from £21.00 down to £15.00 so I got it for £10.00 & I used a voucher from the ACM which gave me an extra 75 points & I got given a £5 off No. 7 voucher which I intend using when I go to the Christmas shopping event on Wednesday.

Question before I head to boots - I'm sure someone told me once before that you can't get two lots of points for topping up £10 on 2 different cards?

If this is true do I need to go to two different tills to get them? Just wondering..

Hi,

I dont get your question, sorry. Do you mean the 4 points for £1 spent?
I normally buy topup vouchers, and TMobile does £5 vouchers which is good when my spend is low and I want to go over the £10 limit.

If you mean the WhenYouSpend Vouchers from the ACM machine, then you need to do separate transactions to get double the points.

Also, I don't know what you mean by "going to different tills"... When I need to do different transactions I start by apologizing that I be doing different transactions and do them at the same till. No one has ever objected.

Never mind, went to 2 different tills anyway to get my 2 £5 NO7 vouchers. Can't actually decide what to buy though

And my local boots never had the free tin with the bodyform ultra packs and the SA never knew anything about them, so instead of getting my 100 extra points I went and got them at superdrug that did have the tins in

As for the tins there were lots of them today at Boots Oracle, Reading.

However I only got 50 points when buying Bodyform Ultra from the ACM machine. So given that they no longer award points when you use vouchers and that the Bodyform cost £1.49, it is not such a good bargain after all. You spend £1.49, earn 50 points only. In Sainsbury and Tesco they are £1, and on top of that you earn clubcard or nectar points. The tins are lovely, though, and a great idea. So "grabbit while you can"!!

PS: I keep getting lousy offers on the ACM machine now... And I spend lots of money there. I was in a Boots just minutes ago and no £2.50-off-acm -voucher for skincare. :-(( I'm trying to figure out the best way to buy some refine and rewind as xmas gifts and it would really be great to have one of those plus the £5 off plus 342. Or the GWP and £5 off and £2.50 (I'm still waiting for the reply to my last query :-( so chech whether waiting for the GWP is worth it, given my tight budget...).

No I didnt get it either but it was a relative I was talking to and she didnt quite explain as to why she went to two different tills, I went to the two different tills anyway just to get 2 No 7 vouchers.

The ACM machine here was still spitting out 100 extra points making them 49p but since they never had any I went to superdrug and got two packs for a £1 each since they are on offer. If I has known about tesco and sainsbury I would of went there and used my cards!

The Boots pregnancy tests go through half price when you have the healthclub activated on your advantage card. To do this they need to scan the coupon sent to you when you joined.

The GWP on No7 Has always worked where you pay the money and scan the GWP and THEN give your coupons so you get the GWP and then a discount with your coupons. Hope that makes sense.

As for the 75% off it's completely random. They usually just see how the stock levels go with the 50% off and then set a date that only staff know. What you need to do is keep updated on here, nose at pieces of paper on the staffs checkouts and looks out for shelf fillers with trolleys full of 75% off signs :D that's what I did last year and I was having heart palpitations watching them :D

You don't need to move tills to get vouchers. Provided each spend is £10 or over the till automatically gives vouchers. If the SA doesn't give them you should report her unless she genuinely forgot to lift it from her till.

can anyone help me....i have got my daughter a pay per go phone for xmas and want to stock up on some credit for her without opening the box.Are you still able to purchase the scratch off type vouchers rather than use the card type top up things?And if so....can you get them in boots?I have been on contract phone for several years but remember being able to top up in boots and get all the points etc.

Hope this makes sense....thanks

You can't buy the scratch off vouchers but you can buy "e-vouchers". They are basically the same thing but they are printed on paper by the till for the amount/network you request
