    Just to confirm - I've used vouchers printed from different cards and they've worked fine with whichever card is presented.

    Some may also find this useful: I've noticed certain stores keep a stock of the Orchid bags in their gift bag section - not just on their mediterranean section. Also - it seems only fairly large stores keep the full range (not the small pharmacies).

    Jo - others in the past have just asked other Boots customers to print them the med 100 point vouchers out... Depends how cheeky you are ;)

    Emmy - you don't need two vouchers - one voucher will do and the till automagically gives you all the points automatically. There doesn't appear to be a reason for the till not to accept more than one voucher per transaction - but most cashiers won't accept more than one. (The Natural Collection highlighted this because on one sunday the machines were printing 100, 125 and 150 vouchers and if handed to someone not knowing the policy - you'd get 375 points for each 50p spent on toe thingies!!!! This loophole was quickly closed though!).

    i've learnt a lesson - you can't trade vouchers!

    Oh that is strange ......I always do. I have two cards, one my name one hubby's name I collect the points on hubby's card but the points machine gives my card better offers so I always check the offers on both cards and regardless of whos name is on the actual voucher I always hand in hubby's card....never been a problem....yet!!!! :)

    Sorry to be a bit stupid over this, but are you talking about the machine they place the advantage card into to get your points. And how do you get the voucher, hav'nt quite got the idea of the plan yet. Please can someone explain.

    hi,
    the machine will be somewhere in the shop if there is one, it's not part of the till. it's a machine like a cashpoint, you put your card in and it tells you how many points you have, then you can look through offers and print any vouchers you want. not all shops have them.

    Went to Boots Glasgow yesterday and got my Mediterranean voucher, I was a bit wary at first as I couldn't believe they were paying me to take products off the shelf....Anyway I bought body butter @ £3.33 , 3face purifying masks @ 66p each, basil thyme and lemon foot spray @ £1.99 , 2 bars of milk almond and honey soap@ £1.66each and 2 giftbags @ 49p(bogof). My total spend was £11.09 and I was given 701 points!!!! According to the voucher the offer ended yesterday 29th June......what a pity I would have gone back for more....you can't go wrong with all that nice smelly stuff. Keep up the good work friends...

    I think it is the voucher itself that is only valid for one day rather than the whole offer. I have been on two consecutive days and got vouchers everytime but only to use on that day. Does anyone know when this will finish as i want to go back and pick up a birthday present at the weekend?

    I got a voucher today. I bought 6 orchid bags reduced from 49p to 32p. Total £1.92 and I got 600 points.
    I then went back to the machine and could print out another voucher so I bought another 6 orchid bags and I got another 600 points.
    So total spend £3.84. Total gain £12 in points. So I made £8.16 this morning and have 12 lovely gift bags.

    Thanks for posting this :-)

    I Got a gift bag but the girl on the till appeared to override the points as she took ages and had a smirk on her face, the face masks worked today though so that was good as had to buy foot spray yesterday

    I bought some gift bags today for the girls at work..I got them 6 bags...(Not that many) I handed over the 100 points voucher and she said" You can't use this as you haven't bought anything in this range" I told her they were in the med range as I purchased some the day before.Her reply was "Well I will try and scan it in but it might not work"..What does it matter to the lady on the till what points I get....I don't understand what her problem was..I wasn't doing anything wrong to her....
