I got some free samples with my Boots order today - a free SPF15 Soltan sachet, some free perfume samples and a booklet with 10% off my next Boots purchase. With my £5 off code as well I was well pleased.

I've just received another Boot's mailing.
There's a booklet which has 100 points voucher when you buy any Gillette Venus Divine razor product.
Then the 4 page leaflet has lots of offers.

Double points voucher.
10% off everyday toiletries voucher.
100 points Boots female hair removal range.
Up to 200 points on designer brushes and combs (200 on brush and 100 on combs)
£3 off FCUK weekend kit.
Save £1 on Botanics hair products.
Save a third on Boots Advanced Footcare Intensive Foot Softener.
100 points on FCUK Women's range
500 points on Daniele Ryman (Not sure if this would work with the Mirror voucher! I'm gonna try this today)
Free Botanics Day Shift Moisture lotion when you buy any item in the skincare face and body range.
It's also a statement and tells me that I've spent £395.24 in points in the last 12 months. Although the poinhts balance it gives is not accurate but it wasn't last time either.
Also a heads up that from the 6th July to 2nd of August they will be giving a £10 Electrical beauty voucher when you spend £15

Just got back from Boots.
The Daniele Ryman £5 Mirror voucher and the 500 points voucher in the Boots mailing worked fine together. Bought the Rescue Balm @ £8 - £5 + 500 points.

The Botanics £3 voucher and the voucher for Free Botanics Day Shift Moisture lotion when you buy any item in the skincare face and body range, both worked together too. Radiance Beauty Balm @ £4.50 (reduced from £9) - £3 + Botanics Day shift moisture lotion free = £1.50 to pay.

sad story. i went to boots today, got vouchers from the machine. had them in my hand so i could remember what i was going for. but also still had adv crd in hand. i had a lovely time filling my basket with 99p tights, halfprice hair colour etc etc. then found i no longer had advantage card in my hand. :eek: the moral of the story - i will always put my card back in my bag!

When an assistant saw the amount of points I had, she said to be careful and that the advantage card is treated the same as a bankcard, provided you inform them of the loss in 24 hours, they will stop the card and issue with a new one.

I have left mine in the machine and had a few panics before now, i think the machine should let you have it back at the beginning after it has read the card.

Hope you get sorted out and soon have your points back. Are you sure you didnt leave it in the machine, they stay there if you havent asked for it to be returned after about a minute.

Exact same thing happened to me too! No idea how I managed to lose it, had to empty my basket and then phoned for a replacement which is probably going to take three weeks to arrive.
