    But surely if someone put a squiggle rather than a signature the delivery man would query it & ask for a new one :confused:

    Yvonne
    You would be surprised by what passes as a signature these days! My personal signature and the quick one I use for signing off letters at work for example are totally different. Some people's signatures are totally illegible - and of course with online orders the delivery man has nothing to compare it with!

    All but one of the whitening kits here have 1000 points extra

    You can also make a points profit if purchasing rubie and millie powder puffs or mascara brushes if ordering nine at a time take your order over £40 for free postage and greater margin

    Thanks for that. Fiddled around for ages until I got what I thought was the perfect order. Placed the order, than I HAD to fiddle some more, didn't I? And I found a better combination. So I placed a second order - £130-odd of points due on my card.

    OT - does anyone know if they definitely remove the points from your card if you return your order? They do say that they "may".

    Thanks.

    Not better than that suggested by Ben, I don't think, but I ordered:

    8 each of the R&M brushes and puffs - total £56.00

    And received:

    4000 points added for R&M promotion
    1000 points added for £50 spend on brands
    500 points added using promotional code
    triple points on spend
    free p&p

    Total spend - £56
    Points collected - £61.72

    Tried to use the skincare voucher code too, but it wouldn't accept on the second order.

    Hit the thanks button, instead of quote. Never mind, have a thanks on me :o

    Took a good 4-5 weeks for my replacement card to arrive after I'd ordered it. Boots aren't the quickest :rolleyes:
  • just find this on boots.com

    johnsons holiday skin body lotion medium tan or light tan £4.99
    with extra 200 points.

    then you can use the code from the skincare voucher for £5 off
    but because its 4.99 you need to add something else to your order to make it up to £5.

    so boots basics toothbrush twin pack £0.28

    brings total to £5.27
    minus the £5 code £0.27
    plus delivery £3.50
    total £3.77

    plus advantage card points 262
    (60 earned, plus 200 extra points)

    so £3.77-
    262 points which is worth £2.62
    total £1.15

    i have placed an order for it, it works
    hope this helps someone
