Creative Zen Micro

Good offer at Boots.com at the moment on the Creative Zen Micro.

The cost of the item is £149.99, but with triple advantage points at the moment, plus an extra 2000 points on this item, and using the promotional code *** code removed by Board Guide (please see here for explanation) ***

This gives a grand total of 4799 points, equating to £47.99 to spend in boots. This means the Zen Micro has effectively cost just over £100.

Also free P&P

The cheapest I have seen this item on the web is about £135, still a great saving.

    I did this in March, getting the Micro for about £118.99 after the points and discount code I use was taken into account.
    I don't regret getting the micro at all. It is GREAT! In fact I'm listening to it now! :D
    Boo!

    I bought the Zen Micro from boots.com on this offer last week. Net of all discounts (including cashback from rpoints), it came to £93.62!

    It arrived on Tuesday, and I've been swearing about it ever since. The control pad on mine requires you to push so hard your fingertip goes numb. It has crashed at least twice, and would not switch off (meaning i had to remove the battery whilst it was on).

    Also, there is nowhere in the instructions that tells you how you can stop playback. Therefore, if you want it to stop playing, you have to switch the player off!

    It'll be going back on Monday and hopefully I'll have more success with the second one.
  • Mattew,

    If you tell me the 'Correct place', I will post the discount code,

    thanks
  • Mrh, Mattew

    Bought one from Boots for a similar price in a similar promo before Xmas. It was such a dog to use that I recently resold on Ebay for just about what I paid and then got the new Ipod 6Gb from Boots last week on a great combined -10% and 3x points deal for a similar price again.

    Bought one from Staples this morning, they gave me some vouchers cos I had spent over 30 quid. I bought one of these for the daughters birthday a couple of months back and she hasn't experienced any probs except for the headphones. Can anyone recommend any headphones that do not fall to pieces after a couple of weeks if you're a heavy user ? i.e. putting them on and taking them off 3 times a day. In-ear type preferably as I shave my head daily and work outside. (I don't wanna look like I'm wearing a white alice band).
