Also this may have been mentioned before but even different machines in one store give out different deals....as happened again to me today in Manchester. Remember to check all that are working!

I decided to use up my double points coupon... and it doubled the offer points instead of the normal points! :snow_grin

OMG I've never heard of that happening before!!! The Boots tills have officially gone mad! :eek:

(And I don't have any more double points vouchers left... )

Me neither...

It's definitely different to how it worked the last time (at a Christmas shopping evening - then I could see a repeat of the normal points earned (the same as the way they show the triple points). Maybe the guy on the till just pressed the wrong buttons and it's a remarkable coincidence he missed the double points while swiping everything else twice! (I just think Boots tills live in a different reality...)

My husband is now agitating at the thought of me having a lot of points on my card as he's sure Boots is about to go bust. :santa2:

superkev, I agree with ThrobsBlackHat that offers seem to be tailored individually, but in case it's not, I shop at Boots in Gloucestershire. :xmassmile

A right boohoo in boots today.
Got the Tony and Guy voucher but no miniatures or BIG bottles of stuff so couldn't use it. None of the evian stuff I wanted so couldn't use that one either and the Evening primrose handwash in my local boots is £1.69. How come people here get it for 99p? So ended up with only 2 shower gels,

By the way if anyone wants 3 no7 vouchers for 250 points each pm me and I will send them. They are valid until 3.01.2006.
I have bought more than enough stuff my cupboards and drawers are full and my purse empty!

Hi I got the 2 toni and guy shampoo's today but it was £8.99 for a 1 litre bottle and that was the most expensive one - is that right?

No, the miniatures are not in bottles. The shampoo's and conditioners are in small plastic packets, and the hairsprays in smaller containers.
It does say on the coupons that the points exclude "Minatures" and only 1 per transaction limit, however the tills do accept them if you can get cashier to scan them. The manager once stopped me at the till and said they had noticed I had used loads the day before and they shouldnt have taken them!. Anyway, it didnt matter because i had used so many the AV machine had stopped offering them to me anyway! :snow_laug

I know- didn't it feel great staggering home with those big bottles and thinking- £3.50 each... :j :rudolf:

teerah i do each primrose transaction on its own, with other stuff but only one primrose item if that makes sense, i don't know if it would work if i bought 2.

I got vouchers yesterday for 150 bonus points on Everyday Indulgence, which then turned out to BOGOFF. Could have bought handwash at £2.59 or body wash at £2.99 each but opted for two of the bubble bath (large bottles don't know what size) at £3.99 and used two vouchers. Also bought lunch for yesterday and today, used two 25 point vouchers and got the saving for buying two bottles of coke (as those are on special and it discounts it from the total as well as the meal deal saving).
