    4 points per pound - so you'd get I think 15 points = 15pence.

    no theres a voucher in the advantage point machine for 500 points on a first aid kit, you need that then you buy the one at £3.89, and get 500 points back plus the 15 points. so your making in theory £1.26 profit.

    Thanks Fiary and ikkle :xmassmile

    If I spend 3.50, I get £5 in points plus in this 15 points for the original spending I get back £1.45 "free money".... no wonder all you guys are so into this! Thank you:)

    Basically, each point is a penny. So if you get 500 points, its a fiver back to spend on your card.

    Got Max Factor bag

    I can't get a mental picture of that one, I know there is a grey evening bag, in creased look satin and I think there may have been one with beading but am not sure if I am thinking of aspects of the same bag :snow_laug
    Max Factor and No.17 are both giving bags away is that right? Can someone clarify the required spend for each.
    now I just need a new cupboard for all the evening primrose and handwashes etc.

    Might I suggest Tesco for all your non-Boots items for clubcard vouchers at MFI for the cupboard... :rudolf:

    Hi Palescene, the MF bag is a small black beaded evening bag, with a metal chain long handle (tucked inside bag it looks like a large purse), I had to purchase 2 MF items and it came free. Grey crinkly bag with badge is the no 17 one, now free when you spend £5.00 on no 17 products. HTH.

    Wow I've just got back from Boots. Using my 10% voucher I bought

    2xEvian wipes - 91p
    3x Cuticura wipes - 3.48
    2xEvening Primrose handwash - 1.78
    Toni & Guy mini shampoo - 1.59
    TOTAL - 7.36 (somehow this is what it added up to).

    And I used these vouchers
    3xCuticura = 600pts
    2xEvening Primrose = 200pt
    Toni & Guy (yes it worked on a miniature!!) = 250pts
    TOTAL = 1086pts :rotfl:

    I was so happy with that, I went back and bought 5 more Cuticura washes, and an first aid kit. Cost = 10.34, points = 1541

    Thank you Boots and everyone here. God know what my other half will think........

    Was on in my local one too, I waited with trepidation bit it actually worked. 2 huge bottles of T & G shampoo for £7 when they should have been £8.99 each :D Couldn't find any Cuticura handwash but it worked on the hand gel instead and I got another £3.89 first aid kit, good job we get through a lot of plasters here :D

    I actually spent £40 as I had to get a few last minute christmas presents but had a total spend for over £30 so it wasn't wasted and the girl looked at my receipt in amazement when she saw how many points had accumulated.
    Organised people are just too lazy to look for things

    F U Fund currently at £250
  • People do try the 'Bite & Sting' and another one I can't remember what its called, but its in the same thingy as the purple 'bite & sting', only difference is the case is yellow instead of purple. It's also the same price @ £2.49, even cheaper than the £3.89 'Day out' ones.

    We are all in the gutter but some of us are looking at the stars........................


  • Got my toni and guy shampoo today, still working. Got the evian, tried the first aid kit and she was a jobs worth and wouldnt let me have it, will try again tomorrow with a different till. Thank you all, saved a fortune since finding this site.
