Yes but that's only if you're returning stuff bought in-store. I think we were discussing items bought on-line earlier (a .com order of premium beauty with 1000 points when purchasing 3 items, I think)and I don't think there's a barcode on the delivery notes.

Agree never returned any com order but someone else reckons no reference to points so hopefully you'd get away with it. That was mean of sa if they lost the points.

I think the free MF gwp has been rumbled tried to get one for ameliasmummy but all but three have been taken away and those were heavily guarded so no luck .Oh well theres always another day and hopefully another bargain to be had.

Where was that?

I tried it and got rumbled, I even had 1 MF item (the mascara with 1/3 off) in my trolley. I was told by SA you had to buy 3 MF items so I pretended the other 2 had fallen out :rotfl: . I ended up buying the 3 items in the end, I did need a mascara but not really the 2 nail varnishes I bought. Not very MSE of me and I'm not even sure it was worth it for the GWP although I did use a £2 off MF PC voucher so could have been worse.

Just checked my PC coupons and I also got the 200 points on Pantene rather then the £2 off.

Just had a look on .com and the 200ml Pantene is £1.79 (not entirely sure if it's the same in-store but I guess it will be). So the 200 points coupon isn't too bad as they can be used against any Pantene shampoo or conditioner and you get back more points than what you're spending in cash (not many more though). Not bad if you use Pantene anyway.

if I remember correctly did someone buy a sanctuary hatbox? Which one was it and how much was it. I have two £3 vouchers and if they only work on giftsets I am trying to decide what to buy:rotfl: am also looking at the kyphi and mande giftsets

Hi Bunbun

I bought the Kyphi Hatbox it cost £15 but using £3 voucher £12 also got gwp. Till didn't beep no problems. Its a lovely boxset imo.

This is Boots-linked, so I hope you won't mind:

I've been avoiding Bootsing for almost 3 months, cos I was becoming obsessed with getting points, but then equally obsessed with not spending them!

These don't come with points, but I thought I'd point them out:

Is the gwp offer still on? Local has the gwp but no signs now.

super_keen_money_saver

Managed to get the following bits today (haven't done any bootsing in a little while!lol):

Shop 1:

1 x heel saviour S&G @ £5
Used: 200pts WYB S&G Spa product from ACM + 200pts WYB S&G Spa product from H&B Mag
Paid: £5
Received: 400 points + £2 off haircare till spit (the SA was shocked about the points!)

Shop 2:

John frieda serum (small one) @ £1.99
Used: £2 till spit
Total: £0.00!!

Wanted get a heel saviour for SuperKeenMoneySaver Snr but by the time I got back to the Soap & Glory stand someone had picked up the last heel saviour :S o well!

Thanks to the OP about the S&G...I have to admit it took me a few days to work out where all you bootsers were getting the 400pts from!

Hi Sam

Yes the 200ml Pantene is £1.79 in store as well. But if you get a 400ml for £2.89 you can get a styling product free at the moment. Buy the serum - worth £3.99 and all you pay is £2.89 - and 200 points back....so effectively 89p for two products valued at a total of £6.88

It's up to you...if you don't like the styling products then go for the smaller pack.

Sorry if this is a daft question but if you 'forget' your card then how do they know it's you who returned them?

Because I took something back to a store I regularly use and most of the staff know me and know I have an advantage card.

Has anyone tried combining the £3 sandwich voucher with the 250 points GWP voucher and 100 points mag voucher to get mens No7 skincare products yet? Any luck?

I was all set to try this today but the Boots I went to didn't sell sandwiches

I managed to get hold of a sandwich today with the voucher in it, so will try this combination either tomorrow or Saturday and report back.

Loads of clearance sections (3 dotted around the shop) in the Boots on the Purley Way, Croydon - it's usually pants for bargains, but managed to pick up some sanctuary bits and pieces and got another hair till spit.

Do you all hide the JF Frizz serium for £1.99 in loads of shopping or can you get away with buying it on its own with the till spit?
