Boots in-store recycling

newbie8

I've seen inside Boots they offer 500 points for 5 unrecyclable items. 

My understanding is a minimum of 5 items from their list is required for the 500 points, and you need to wait for the pictures to be validated (it can take up to 24hrs) and then deposit in-store otherwise you would not be rewarded the 500 points. So it's not exactly a thing you can do on a whim. Once you have deposited the items in-store you are given a voucher to redeem in-store (2 days to use it up) and there is a minimum spend of £10 (so you would have to use £5 of your hard earnt cash). 

But what I don't understand is and I can't see anywhere in the FAQ's. 

1- is there a time limit to drop the items in? 
2- Can I stack vouchers up and use them all in the same purchase

I know the maximum is 500 points a day, and a maximum of 8 deposits in a month.

So could I plan it that on
   Day 1 - Scan 5 items (wait 24hrs for it to be accepted)
   Day 2- Scan 5 items (wait 24 hrs for it be accepted), Deposit day 1's items in-store and collect the voucher
   Day 3- Deposit day 2's items in-store and collect the voucher. Spend a minimum of £10 and then use both vouchers, therefore not using any of my hard earnt cash LOL

Or is it 1 voucher per transaction only? Because then it would scupper my plan above.

What if I use the voucher when spending £10 but £5 of that is Advantage card points collected previously. Is that allowed?

not impressed by the faff required to recycle blister packs, have to photograph them foil side up, wait for verification and then go to boots to deposit. Haven't got that far yet as don't go to town often, you get 100 adv points for 5 and on a £5 spend or something. Not sure if you could deposit say 10 blister packs at once and get twice as many points or if it would only count as one lot.

Does anyone know if I can do a beauty deposit and blister pack deposit on the same day and get the points for both please?

Would you be able to use two vouchers if you were spending £20?

It all seems very confusing.
