    I got my third "free" No 7 Stay Perfect Lip Laquer today (using a £5 No 7 voucher, plus 400pt voucher from the Advantage machine. :D Keep waiting to be caught out by an assistant saying "you can't use both vouchers" but it hasn't happened yet.
    Also got given another No 7 voucher (not on the same transaction, that would be just cheeky ;) ) so will try to get a 4th tomorrow... Reckon I can complete my set before this offer runs out!

    I've had 5 now - trouble is I keep forgetting which ones I've already got!! Think I've been lucky and not got any duplicates, but if I have, hey, never mind. Used my double points voucher on two of them too, so they paid me 16p to take them off their hands, bless 'em.

    Now just need to think what to spend my £369 of points on - trouble is, I don't think I can bear to part with them - think I'm becoming obsessed about collecting them!

    Separate post to mention some of the sandwiches today had a voucher for 50p off a meal deal valid until 5th November. I know it's only 50p, but with the extra AC points and saving already, makes the meals deals pretty cheap, I think. And I just luuurve their ginger beer.

    I never used to get them either, so I just emailed them via boots.com, and asked them to add me to their mailing list.

    Have given up on trying to get the 100 points Smile voucher - the machine just doesn't like me at the moment! :rolleyes:

    However, finally realised the vouchers in my last mailing are actually quite good! E.g. got 100 points for Pure Moisture, so originally thought I'd get the shower gel @ £1.99 and BOGOF. Well, I then noticed a Pure Moisture soap for 39p, so bought that and got 100 points! :D

    Only tried it with the one soap, but with hindsight should have got more and seen if it adds 100 points per item or per transaction... :rolleyes:

    Also, got a voucher for 100 points on Skin Clear in my mailing (some of you will remember the SC face mask sachet bonanza last year ;) ), the cheapest item in the range is 89p. Didn't try that today though.
  • I went to the machine on Saturday and printed off a "100 points with a smile purchase" but just bought one tube of toothpaste at 59p and got the 100 points. Over the weekend I thought to myself it might be worth buying some more, and getting extra bonus points but when I got to the machine on Tuesday that offer wasnt on the machine anymore!

  • I got a £2 off No7 voucher in my mailing, so i bought 3 items from No7, lash and brow gel, xmas lip gloss, and one of the lip laquers. I then gave the assistant the points vouchers, 400 for lip laquer and 150 for the xmas gloss, then the £5 voucher and then the £2 one.

    She said 'you've got it all worked out out haven't you?' I just smiled while she put them all through.

    Result=£11.49 for 3 make up items and another voucher!!

    I went to Boots yesterday afternoon (Tuesday) and the offer was still on for me.
    If I had known then what I know now . . .

    Oh no..I didn't even bother trying, as i had a 200 points free on no7 voucher, plus the free £5 voucher..thought it would be pushing my luck to hand both over, ah well!
    Has the free no7 voucher promotion finished now?
