  • My card in my Maiden name still works and I find it does give different offers to my new card I use all the time. I can print vouchers from one card and hand over the other at the counter.

    I've also found my old card useful when I returned something which I'd earnt 200 points on my new card. I handed over my old card which only had 46p on, so that was all she could take for the refund! :rotfl:

    Order a card for the dog and see what offers he gets!


    :O cant believe the cheek of some people! :mad:

    I'm surprised Martin has chosen this as a tip. There is no guarantee of getting 100 points on a meal deal. I tried today on my card and my husband tried his card. I got nothing, husband got 50 points. We bought two meal deals they would only allow us one set of 50 points. The price on their sandwiches is ridiculously inflated. Netto sells chicken salad sandwiches for 89p.
    Just quickly to answer this. The Meal Deal is very popular and many people eat it for lunch, so saving anything on it is important. Of course Netto is cheaper, but there are very few Nettos compared to Boots and they aren't near high streets.

    Also this isnt a 'meal deals are cheap' but a way most people don't know to make them cheaper. Hence its a very important tip.

    As for the 'do you get 100 points, it does vary as noted in the original note, but 100 is roughly standard' :)

    Thank you again Martin.You timed this really well.Just off to Boots today.
  • What really surprises me is that people are prepared to pay over-inflated prices at Boots to get a few points on their Advantage Cards. Then use their Ad Cards to pay for over-inflated, horrible tasting sandwiches.

    I used to work for Boots for over 15 years.... believe me, even the staff with discounts cards (22%) don't shop at Boots!
  • I'm always suitably impressed with the range of sandwiches, wraps, salad boxes and smoothies that my Boots outlets have near to me. Of course, the larger the outlet, more often than not the better the range. I also cannot ever resist the range of puddings that are on offer! Chocolate Sundae's definitely my favourite! Slurp! :rotfl:

    Learn from the mistakes of others - you won't live long enough to make them all yourself.

    So thank you Martin! :)
