    Oh thanks for that little gem Emmy. I was told by my local Boots to be careful with my card because I've got 11000 points on it. I'll pop in today and get some gift cards so the balance goes down:p :D .

    When I was buying a load of little me stuff the other day, each time the cashier would shout out really loud 'Here's your card, you have £118 worth of points' Then ££123 and £128 lol. I racked up over £50 of points on this promotion. How did anyone else do? I could have had more but there were only two cashiers at the second store in HUll I went to and it was getting really embarrasing. THe last time, one of the cashiers shouted to the other, 'these bath sets come up 3 for £3.50, why dont you go get some?' I didnt have the heart to say, I had cleared the shelf so took it as my cue to leave.

    arrhhh thanks...... I just said I wanted to put the value of my points (about £55) onto a gift card as a wedding pressie I asked if they could collect the points from the gift card "yes of course"
    *I must not tell fibs, no wedding to go to*

    So if you buy a gift card with points, you effectively earn points on points, which is normally not allowed.

    Anyone fancy trying this scenario?
    Buy a £5 gift card with points, get 3 £9.99 gift sets for £4.98, earn 539 points, buy a £5 gift card with the points .....

    Wonder how quickly Boots would put a stop to that!!


    Race you all to Boots ....

    That is what I am saying...... I have done it :) sometimes as with offers it might depend on who serves you ( I usually make a bee line for young male 'student') :confused: ask before you do it like I did :)

    Claire are you trying to do this offer online? IT only works instore im afraid. As for site being down, save your basket and restart and see if that helps. My answer to everything lol.

    The Natural Collection body sprays at 49p each are a bit of a bargain too :)
    Just type Natural Collection in the search bar and they're the first item that comes up.
