Boots Grabbit Bargains Part 13 - Post your finds here

SootSoot

I bought 2x P&P serum and got 5 GWP!!! £99/£18 = 5.5
The SA next to the one who served me told him that the till would only allow 1 GWP. I kindly asked my SA if he could try them all. He was rather shocked that they all went through FREE :j
I was going to go 2nite to get the extra 1000 pts but I didn't want to risk the P&P being out of stock.

Right, to give you an example. Let's say I was to buy a TENS Pain Relief Unit for £49.99 and Pain Relief Heat Patches for £3.99, which, after a 20% deducting with a voucher on Boots Pain Relief products would cost £43.18, and added a hot chocolate mug for £8, that would be over £50 spend, so I should get 1,000 points for being over £50, but also those 3 products are advertised in the magazine as 4,999 points, 399 points and 800 points respectively. Would I really get all that on top? Me thinks I would get back more than I spend then! Can anyone confirm please before I go there and make a right mug out of myself!

No you wouldn't get that many points. the points values you are referring to are if you wanted to buy the item using your points. (for example it "costs" 399 points to buy the heat patches).

What you are likely to get is 4 points per £1 you spend (which would on your example be 50x4 = 200 points) plus the xmas evening bonus of 1000 and any offer kiosk or magazine coupon points listed separately...i.e.:

Christmas evening points 1000
'Normal' points 200

Total 1200 points for a £50 odd spend.

Hi Beate, the points amount listed in the magazine are the amount of points you would need to buy the item with your points. HTH

The ads in the magazine are for the "price" in points of those specific items. For example the TENS Pain Relief Unit costs £49.99 if you pay with money and 4999 if you pay with points.

You may have realised by now our emphasis here is on collecting points and maximizing those, since money is money and the more points you get, the more stuff you can get for free. Obviously that stuff has to have no glitches/vouchers/extra-points associated whatsoever, or none of the bootsers here will depart with their points, that is we will prefer pay money to get more points or vouchers!!

PS: I went for a long reply, so 2 people beat me... this is one active thread!!

Beate

Thanks for that, I knew it was too good to be true!

Hi, have been sick for a couple of days so enough to have missed a lot of pages, but it's interesting to see tbear06 managed to get the glitch I believe cupcake had reported about the £2 voucher plus the free mini. Perhaps I have missed the posts about this (trying to read through them), but no glitch for me today...
Today I got a TG detox shampoo + TG Mini fixit hairspray but ended up paying £2.99 (£4.99 - £2) so no glitch Anyone else having this problem? Or should I have bought the heat defence spray specifically?

It didn't work for me either and bought the same products as on the first page so def not in all stores. Don't know why i thought it would work in b-o-t store tills are sadly spot on.

The store I got the t&G Shampoo and free mini for £1.30 using £2 voucher was a small one - Worksop. I was going to try again today at a larger store but ACM not working and I only printed one free mini voucher the other day.
Did manage to use 2 x 1000points vouchers (1 ACM and 1 magazine) on the Dreamland single electric blanket so £29.99 with £20 back in points. The SA tried to scan the healthclub voucher but that wouldn't work aswell, so maybe it has the same barcode as the mag one, couldn't find another mag to check.

Does anyone know whether I can use more than one Pigsback voucher in one transaction?

If you mean the 10.00 boots vouchers you get from pigsback, the answer is yes. They are like spending cash.
