Boots Mediterranean Range 100 extra points [CLOSED]

Dormouse

No Med bags for me today, but got yet another face mask (just one - I was good ) and the Orange/Lime Body Scrub (thanks for the tip!), which cost me £1.19 after the 10% voucher. The shelf price for the scrub was something completely different, but I remembered from this thread that it was just over a pound.

Still can't find the Med handwash... Shame, I could really do with some!

Still old mags in our Boots, so I grabbed two. The 10% voucher doesn't expire until end of July.

Neither myself nor my DH got any points from the advantage card machine for buying the Mediterranean range.

I got the Med extra points from the advantage card machine and bagged myself 12 orchid bags and 1 hair mask which was about £1.30. When I got to the checkout the girl looked to see if my points had been added for the hair mask, and she was stunned to see that I had got points for the bags aswell. 1300 points for a spend of £5.17. She couldn't believe it but was very nice and said she wouldn't query it. Can they query it instore and have the points total deducted before you pay ?

Yes I tried the sachets but they were classed as minatures, very annoying as they are on a buy 4 get one free offer.

Has anyone got a comprehensive list of what we could buy in the range for under £2, assuming that all the bags and face masks are now gone. I think the shampoos and conditioners and soaps would be useful if I knew which to look out for.

Has anyone got an email address for Boots so we can email them and tell them that we are not recieving mailings and how sad and upset we are that we are missing out...

Just wanted to bump this up for me too. Also has anone got any links to pics so i know what to look for. Have found the face masks but have never been able to find the orchid bags etc etc

P.S. i thought the advantage card offers changed on a wednesday? is this offer still going on then?

Fear of a query is my constant worry everytime I do one of these transactions. I reckon if it was queried, that probably let you keep the points this time out of courtesy, as it's the fault of the till, not yours, ... but you'd never dare try it again!

I even had a nightmare about Boots last night, I knew the only orchid bags left in the shop were on a display right opposite the tills - actually in the bit where you only walk when you've been queuing and a till becomes free. So my plan was to go in at lunchtime and buy all the ones on display. Which I did today, without any hassle.
But it was obviously playing on my mind last night because I was having all sorts of nasty dreams about it going wrong.

It's a bit worrying that I'm dreaming about Boots - obsessed or what? It's not as if what we're doing is illegal, at the worst it's just going to be a bit embarrassing if the points addition gets queried... no worse than when the hairdresser found nits in my hair the other week (now, that WAS embarrassing!)

By the way, anyone found any other meditteranean gift bags that work on the 100pt offer? I've cleared the shelves of orchid ones (and only got 15 in total!)

managed to get 10 bags and 6 face masks todeay in 2 different stores, i'm now sure that everyone in every store i go in recognises me and will say something, but they are all ok so far!!!

I thought I'd be way too late for this as today was my first opportunity to go into town for a while. But no - there were 13 bags, so I bought the lot and got all the points using one voucher. Well pleased!

Not sure if this has changed but when i went to the advantage machine today it allows as many coupons as you want but it states 1 coupon per transaction.

So you have to go through the til 3 times to get 100 points each time if you are buying 3 mediterriean products.

Well I went into Boots today and bagged (no pun!) 3 Orchid Bags. The girl on the till said my voucher was not valid..I said they bags were part of the range...she said no, they are just there to encourage customers to buy a nice bag for some of the Mediterranean products (?)

However, she scanned it and hey ho...300 points for a 96p spend.

I left with a smug smile on my face..she had a bemused look on hers.

Hi,
What are these gift bags? Are they just bags or do they have things in?
thanks
