  • what is this 10% voucher people have been talking about.

    Where do you get it. I have checked the may/june health and beauty magazxine and could find no mention of it there. AM I looking in the wrong place?

  • Oh- the ten percent voucher was in the last edition of boots mag- BUT in an extra mini book that came inside a plastic sealed wrap with the normal mag. When i got mine i noticed some were plastic wrapped with this extra booklet, and others werent so wouldve missed out on this goodie...
    while i remember- superdrug have 128 mb SD memory cards half price at only £15. Theyre closing the camera depts ina ll stores though so you need to ask where the cards are- in my local store they were in a draw in the perfume department...

    Can I ask a really dumb question?

    I bought a Z10 last week for 89.99 and this weekend tracked down a 10% discount voucher.........do you think I can return the camera and ask for it to be processed through again with the 10% discount voucher?

    I know its a saving of only 8.99 but every little counts..................

    how did you get 1350 points and £10 credit...all I was offered was 500 points...no mention of £££'s being credited....oh well...no doubt the wife will spend the points...LOL

    Those who can do, those who can't, come to me for lessons:cool:

  • I just called about the missing Z10 camera case and was told that 'it clearly stated that the case was an additional freebie and was subject to availability.' I don't remember seeing that, does anyone else? I thought the case was listed as part of the main package but they've removed the page from their site now, so I can't check. Does anyone have it saved? Seems you bods who are geting £10 refunds are lucky, they are only offer me 300 points. Their not in my good books at the moment.

    I also got 500 points against missing camera case

    i believe 1350 works out something like 700-800 points while ordering camera and 500 for free case

    It does seem that the points/refund thing is done on a discretionary basis, but I do wonder if they have started to get a lot of calls that they might begin to reduce the amount they offer. When I phoned up, I didn't ask for points or a refund, they offered it to me.

    I just phoned up and told them I didn't get the case and they a said was subject to availablility etc, all we can do is refund £10 to your card!

    F[url=""]or[/url] the record, my Z10 cost me £61.98 :D ...Bargain!

    £89.99
    -10% Voucher code (£9.00)
    -2.25% (GreasyPalm £1.82)
    -719 points (double points from website)
    -£10.00 Case refund

    N.B. (I could have had 1,000pts instead of 10% which would have effectivly been £1.00 more, but chose to take the cash off)
