All Boots seems to have different policy’s. What happens in one does not necessarily happen in another. :mad:

Successfully getting some of the better glitches often depends on if the SA you pick is willing to try. Its sometimes sensible to buy some other things to 'disguise' your bargain. If the SA won't put it through, please don't make a fuss - they are only doing their job. Just try again another SA / store / day. It is a good idea to try and make a friend in a SA if possible.

COMMON QUESTIONS

What do these abbreviations stand for:
WYB - when you buy
WYS - when you spend
GWP - gift with purchase
AFAIK - as far as I know
HTH - Hope that helps
P&P - Protect and Perfect Cream
IYKWIM - If you know what i mean
TIA - Thank you in advance
GC - Gift Card

Can i use points to pay for an item and still get the GWP?
Yes you can.

If i use a extra points voucher and a double points voucher will i get double extra points?
No you will not. A double points voucher only doubles normal points not offer points.

Can i use my point on 342 in store?
Yes you can.

Can i pay part points part cash?
No you can only pay with points when you have enough for the whole transaction.

Can i combine paying with vouchers/cash/GC?
Yes you can.

Can i return something bought on .com to my local store?
Yes you can.

Do i earn points when buying a gc?
No.

Can i buy a GC/voucher with my points?
No

Can i get points when paying with points?
No

Can i use points to buy a phone top-up?
Yes.

can i pay with points online?
No, sorry you cant.

Can i use more than one code on .com
No, sorry.

If my voucher expires on 4 Dec(eg.) can i still use it that day?
Yes you can.

Can i return something i bought on 342?
If you return one 342 with a reciept they will exchange it for something the same price but you will also need to have the other two items as well as they need to go on a new 342 reciept.
If you return it without a reciept they will exchange it for something of the same value.

Boots baby expert baby wipes are £2.55 a pack and currently on bogof. If you received the boots mailing you may have the coupon for half price baby expert product. Taking 2 packs to £1.27, But the acm has 100point coupons on any baby expert product. Meaning £1 back in points so total cost 27p for 2 packs of wipes

Information taken from paid to shop:T

Would this work with the expert tin too? sounds like a bargain if so!

littlejaffa

can you tell me if this would work - i'm a bit scared with these things!

use 300 Advantage card points with Olay Total Effects Cloth Masks from the magazine which I don't have but will get, with a 500 voucher for olay total effects product and a double points coupon, so I get 1600 points for spending £15ish?
What happens if i then take the facemasks back (unopened)...with a good reason (yet to be thought of!) would then accept as a refund but let me keep the points?

Also can I get the free 'secrets of the boudoir' bag & gift set if I use 342 no7 gift items to make the total spend (before the 3rd item cost is removed) £18+ AND use a £5 voucher for no7 products, so I should end up paying about £7 for 3 items and a boudoirs set.

Is this all just wishfull thinking on my part or can you really combine vouchers like this?

You could combine the 2 points vouchers but the double points voucher only doubles normal points not offer ones. Regarding the point its hit or miss if they take them back off you or not.

I think you can't get the free gift with 342 gift items and now 342 of No7 has already ended. I got an e-mail from Boots said '£18 must be spent on No7 cosmetics and skincare in a single transaction at Boots, excluding No7 Electrical Beauty products and gift sets within 3 for 2 Mix & Match, marked by a green parcel sticker.'.

I would like to try to buy with spending around £20 and get the free gift, then present £5 off voucher. So hope will end up with free gift and only spend £15.

Will wait and see from other people.

Yes, you can earn points when spending vouchers but not when you buy them.

The expet tins have finished now although the may have some lying about.

Edited - The acm vouchers changed over today so not sure if the 100pts voucher will still be there.
