Off to event tonight to buy xmas pressies (will be over 8 months preg at xmas, so going for the 'smash and grab' approach to most xmas presents).

Have voucher from parenting club for 500 points on £10 of baby stuff. Small print says can't be used with any other instore points offer.

Has anyone used this successfully with the 1000 points on £50?

thanks

yes you can use it

£40 Spend on Olay = 2000pts
£10 spend on baby = 500pts (with parenting coupon)
500 Points on Olay parenting coupon = 500pts
total = £50 spend = 1000pts xmas night
Advantage card points for spend = 200pts
double points coupon - 200pts
TOTAL = 4400pts for £50 spend

if you didnt want to do £60 spend like mummofones amazing mathematical skills have worked out

I'm taking OH to the Boots evening in Oxford tonight armed with £60 of vouchers from pigsback. I'm attempting to show him the delights of money saving techniques and how it all works, but I'm getting in a bit of a pickle with all the voucher options, extra points and then the ACM machine possibilities and fear my blundering will put him off instead. (Poor old OH gets embarrassed easily....and I do it to him all the time )

After reading the first post and last few pages, I think I've sussed it but can anyone clarify it for me please as my brain is getting addled now - been trying to work out the shopping list for 3 hours now! :rolleyes:

I've got the coupons from the recent mailings which include the double points and 250 points on a £25 spend. I usually get 50 points on a £7.50 spend from the acm. Will I be able to use all of these as well as getting the 1000 points for the £50 spend?

If I've worked it out right and the answer to my question above is yes, then it means I should expect to have a minimum of 2300 points back from the following:

1000 - £50 spend
1000 - Olay spend
250 - mailing coupon
50 - usual ACM voucher award on £7.50 spend

Obviously I'll use the double points coupon too, but am I right in thinking this will only apply to what I buy that doesn't already have offers/extra points attached by any means?

Sorry to ask such silly questions, but I just want to give OH an idea of why it's worth the 50 mile trip! I'll apreciate any help or suggestions.

Hi guys,

Sorry to be asking something else, but are there any codes or anything that'll get me something off a £149.99 order?

I'm aware it is 10 points per £ at the mo', and I can also use Quidco or Pigsback.

a double points voucher just doubles the points of your spend and not any bonus points you earned
HTH x

The coupon I used was a standard double points - and she also didnt give me it back! lol

Hmmm When double points coupon is scanned first time, your receipt shows 'you used your double coupon once, you can use it again till ../../07' etc
Does your receipt says sth like that?

right i hope this is right -

3x 1000points for £20 spend = 3000points
4points per£1 = 240
double points coupn = 240
shopping evening points = 1000

= £44.80 in points

possible 300points for £40 spend acm = 300
possible 500points olay parenting club voucher = 500

so a possible £52.80 back in points for £60 spend.

hope this is right.

Should be right if:
Sa won't refuse to scan any coupon
And not sure about 1000 points for every £20 spent on Olay. I thought 1000 in one transaction, and these points doesn't accumulate? Can anyone confirm they spent £40 and got 2000pts?
