Thanks to the original poster about the Boots alternative indigestion tablets. Because of prescribed drugs, I can't take proprietry brands which have this as a side affect :rolleyes: . ( am looking at ways to beable to stop having to take this one!)

Todays shopping totalled £8.14 and total points awarded was £7.82 :j - I'm beginning to really love Boots!

I can't find any older receipts to check this but today's just showed a grand total of coupon points. Am I going mad or did they show what they were awarded for individually not so long ago?

I bought 6 different products and can't remember how many points were payable to each of them so can't be sure I got them all. I know I shouldn't complain but does anyone know how I can check please?

Yup, the offer is for purchase made instore only.
Just seen the advert promoting this in the paper, and in the bottom right hand corner it states "Excludes boots.com and boots direct purchases"

Don't think you're going mad , I think all receipts now just give the total coupon points, whereas before they used to detail them separately. It's quite annoying really as it's really difficult to keep track of whether you got all the points you were supposed to. What I do, if I know I'm about to use lots of vouchers, is add them up before I go to pay, so if some points don't go though, I'll know. Very complicated... :rolleyes:

Glad you found the indigestion freebies

I love the body lotion, hand cream and face creams. They are expensive, but they last ages.

the face creams with spf 15 are great, though very cheeky of them when they rebranded no 7, the size of these halved, and the price went up. the concealer stick [looks just like lipstick] is also really good. mascaras good too.

just got back from boots, and found the indigestion tablets too. thanks.


also my OH got a free trevor sorbie/tony and guy sample. he chose the mini detox shampoo. i had a voucher for 250 extra points for toni and guy/trevor sorbie, but could not find anything i wanted, but forgot and handed all the vouchers over. realised my mistake, but the assistant said she would try it anyway, and it worked.......so free mini shampoo and 250 points back [even though the voucher said excludes minis]

What like when you use a free product voucher. I got it. Not sure how but will keep a low profile for a while.

As the supervisor had to override as they has the bag offer on. So I got it. But that was being really cheeky at the moment I am rather skint and love there products as nearly all my makeup at the moment is No7 because the mirror vouchers earlier on in the year. Also thanks to gift sets being reduced after christmas.

Mind you the lip gloss is good mind you not that I would have gone out and bought it as I was not keen.

So I know know other MSEr's when I see them out with the pink bag as I am going to to use it as it evening handbag. LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Yours

got my trever sobet mini freebie and long pantyliners freebie and the boots mag with 11 free boots points! Not bad - shop assistant said "bargain" which always makes me smile :-) got my OH to finally apply for a card too so maybe I can get double of the occassional freebies in the future ;-)

Was in Boots last night and bought an Olympus FE-5500 for £129.99 instead of £259. Also got 2400 bonus points (on top of usual points) + a £5 voucher for spending over £20 - bargain or what!! Other cameras also available in the shop (and some at https://www.boots.com).
