i would assume so as gift cards are counted as cash so yes and you would get points also.....

just wanted to say what a great thread this is, i've saved an absolute fortune. this is my first posting on this thread as i've just been into Boots at the Fort, Birmingham and the weirdest thing has just happened and i've rushed home to type it up!!

they've got a couple of racks of Mini mode childrens clothes with red "half price" stickers attached to them, so i thought i'd picked up acouple of
bits and pieces for my little ones. A lovely dress that was marked up as £12 (but would cost £6 because of the 1/2 pricetag) a couple of tops
marked as £6 but would be £3. Soooo i happily trotted off to the cash desk and asked if i could pay with my points thinking it would cost me about £15 but when she wizzed them through the machine the whole total came up as £7.50, so in actual fact i got 1/2 price taken off the 1/2 price!!!

i hope this makes some sense, i'm not sure if it was a one off but i'm sure its worth a go, especially when u can effectively get a lovely £12 dress for £3.

happy shopping fellow BOOTeenies!!

hi newmum1, the Fort is really convenient isnt it? its literally five minutes away from where i live and i'm always trawling round Boots for my bargains!! i've got got two little ones (3yr and 7 months) and the thought of dragging them round Birmingham City Centre fills me with horror!! The Fort could do with a decent coffee though, a place to rest your tired legs and feed the kids!!!

Gift cards work exactly the same as money except if you have a refund the money has to go back on the card. You can use all the points vouchers as if you are using cash.
I tried to get the makeup and bags on points but SA told me I could not have the bags if i pay with points. They would not take the £1 voucher or the one from the magazine as not valid with any other offer..... boo. Still spent £15.45 and got 3 bags so i can't complain too much. DD school friends pressies all sorted now.

THanks to whoever posted about the first aid kits. Got the mini one for 3.89 (will come in v handy for my holiday) and 500 points. I'll go back and try the other coupons next week

has anyone else used their double points coupon twice, but had a mesg on their receipt saying its valid for a 3rd time? I queried this instore (cashier had already taken coupon from me after 2nd use last week) and the manager agree to manually add double points for my purchases today.

Hi, I went to my local Boots yesterday and they still had the signs up for a £10 spend on n0 17 to receive the wee grey bag, however, thanks to poster on here I knew this had changed and had a word with the store manager who told me that it now was a £5 spend but they hadn't taken down the signs yet.
I had a voucher from the Boots magazine for a third off lipstick or lip gloss, so I used this towards my purchase. I bought a lovely pink lipstick and lip gloss and it came to £6.01 so gotr my wee bag. As there is another voucher inside for £1 off a £5 spend , I just have to use it up and another voucher from the magazine. If I buy the lipstick and lipgloss again my purchase will come to £5.01 and I will still qualify for another bag.

Hi I tried putting 2 vouchers through today and the asst wouldn't accept both as it was in conjunction with the bag offer,so another £6.01 spend and got another wee bag.
