Boots - Points Bonanza Continues... II

advantage_card

i think they are doing that for ALL tokens now you will only get one lot of promotional poitns regardless of how many items you have got of stated product in a single transaction - i know HQ were wanting to crack down on all this promotional points on every item in a transaction of the stated product. it was their mistake and it now looks like theyve fixed it.

i have just worked out i need from boots

umberto gianni curl friends shampoo
trevor sorbie shampoo *i have a £1 off token*
always ultra *i have a free pack token direct from the manufacturers, i have decided to use this as they will NOT be getting any profits out of a FREE thing*
royal jelly soap *xmas item*
sanctuary or other posh soap *xmas item*
chocolate coins *xmas item*
diet coke times two
diet vanilla coke times two
vanilla snack a jacks times three
yoghurt covered raisins times two
banana chips times two
boots soft tissues box
boots handbag size tissues
blisteze for cracky lips
and
a meal deal containing a turky and cranberry sandwich if they have it *token in magazine*

god theyre going to love me hogging the till! to use up all the tokens in one day, ill have to do no less than FOUR seperate transactions *for the one token per transaction rule

im going at about lunchtime so hopefully it shouldnt be TOO mobbed so they dont get TOO annoyed.

the list above is of course dependant on me visiting the retail park branch, as a lot of the things arent available at the city centre branch, which sucks.

Thanks for the heads up on the cokes etc.

Advantage_card, I think the Royal jelly is BOGOF and so is the Boots tissues at the moment.

Ta!

Im hoping the UG stuff is still on three for two, so thats £7.98 for starters - dunno if everything else except the Rrevor Sorbie, Always *although as this isnt a BOOTS token not 100pc sure theyll take this* and turkey/cranberry sandwiches *as with seperate tokens all will still have to be paid seperately* will come to £25+ or not. hmmmm me wonders - the cokes on 2 for £1.19 at the moment so that's only £2.38 for the four cokes *not quite sixty p each on this promo, so not bad - normally retails for 92p singularly @ boots or 58p or 90p in otherstores*

can you not tell im trying to get shedloads of poitns all in one day after chasing over £177 worth in last week in glasgow? hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm me thinks so. nothing illegal going on just trying to empty my wallet of all tokens except the double pts one which will have to wait till next week when triple points is over. they definitely will NOT accept that one, im probably pushing it to get the other ones accepted as it is.

oh well at least i wont get too embarrassed if i get knocked back for any as going to the retail park *owing to needing food and drink* where i dont go much so not well known and NOT the Eastgate Centre one where half the staff know me by name, would have SUCH a red face there.

oh and my granny bought a pot of Garnier face cream but unlike my mother REMEMBERED to get a validation code put on, its usually about 4.99 or 5.49 a got so thats about another 18 or 21, which as it was purchased today translates to 54 or 63! yay!

If you can get someone to look at the machine for you AC there is a coupon for 50 points on the cube tissues if thats of any help.

I went off to my localish Boots today with hubbys new advantage card. Machine ate card. Got it back and the third machine I tried worked. Nothing exciting for him though. Still, a third off Aussie three minute miracle so got some of those so I could get his starter 200 points.

I got 200 points Toni and Guy, 3 for 2 and showed up as 400 points. Nothing else very exciting so came home.

Hi Happysaver

I went into boots today and bought t&g stuff, they only gave me 200 points even though id bought three, the manager said the "oversight" on the vouchers has now been fixed and you will now only get one lot of points no matter how many products you buy.

not good news im afraid.

but i hope this helps

As I feared, Heldaz

It took me weeks to find a machine that works....

Its been fun hearing about everyone's adventures tho - i still managed to get a cheap Xbox during the legendary 'rogue 10%/triple points drama' so thats something

Just a quick reminder to all BOOTS lovers...

I'm currently running a collection for Great Ormond Street Hospital of the teddies Boots are giving away free. If you have any Boots soft toy vouchers that you'd like to donate then please PM me for details or take a look at the original thread HERE.
To date we've collected 129 teddies and the promotion ends on the 7th of December.
Thanks!

Thanks Angela but the cube ones never have enought tissues in them so i always get the box ones which someone pointed out are bogof.

Retail Park has one of their machine parked underneath a light so its not quite a struggle when im on me tod - however the last time me was in RP Boots that one was out of order, and id already bought the things before i found another one!

i think ive got too many couopons to use up. free packet of always which im ONLY using coz its a freebie, the quid off ones going to have to go out. then theres the 50pts on the turkey/cranberry sarnies out of the mag. then theres a quid off trevor sorbie i got mailed out. all these will need seperate transaction and then im STILL hoping to get shedloads of points. i know for a fact they wont take the double pts token i have on a triple points weekend in inverness so that one will have to wait.

as stated theyre going to LOVE me hogging the queue tomorrow arent they?

hi ho hi ho its off in search of lots of points advantage_card goes.

would get everything @ eastgate but one i need to get fizzy wine in tescos and b eastgate doesnt do food n drink. their loss, retail park's gain.
