I must be alone in this but I love spending points! especially on things that are reduced already. It's getting loads of things for free! Don't get me wrong, I love receiving points too but I hate spending money. It can be disheartening looking at your bank statements and seeing Boots for every other transaction, and if I never spent the points, just amassed them like some sort of loss-making savings account I wouldn't be able to justify it at all. Plus I don't need to buy toys/have millions of presents to buy for people so I don't need to 'save them up' like some do. I just spend them as I get them, when I need things. That way, I think I get the most out of Mr Boots

I totally agree. I have 2 cards plus hubby's and when each one gets to £20 balance, I use the points to get baby supplies. I have lost 2 of the cards already at some point, and would be terrified of losing one with a big balance on. I think it's more likely CS would replace lost points upto £20, but would they replace £100+ in points?? I doubt it.

Ah yes, I'd forgotten about that - what with the added worry of losing what is only slightly more secure than a massive wad of cash, having a massive points balance isn't worth it imo. Plus then there's the temptation of buying something massive with the points that you would never have bought otherwise, just because it's with points. And that's not money saving, (well, unless you then sell it on) as you sometimes forget that you've spent extra money (albeit sometimes a lot less than the points are worth in store) to get those points.

:eek: :eek: :eek: Are you alright lililou - Do you need to lie down?? Spending points is a traumatic thing. I know I have a hard time doing it. Why is that, is it a female thing??

Just about surviving thanks! Do like the new fragrance though and a bargain at £8. I wonder if someone bought it online as part of the EA offer and then returned it to a store that don't stock it so they marked it as clearance??

DD1 and I went Bootsing yesterday in Peterborough.Surprised you lot didn't hear us when we saw them putting out a load of TD wipes! I had 3 till spits to use and did not want to spend money so got 3 lots .Then remembered DH wanted well man vitamins so got another till spit and more wipes!
DD1 got 2 photo albums in clearance on BOGOF with 200 points , free always with manufacturers coupon, so came to exactly £5 and a till spit so a pack of wipes free.She was well pleased.

really hope the changeover on Tuesday gives some good glitches as Boots is getting boring!

There were a few in Durham Marketplace about a week ago, not sure if they'll still be there though. They had the refill packs too.

Dont know if this has been mentioned but I used the £5 off Olay and alongside a parenting voucher for 600 points on total effects I managed to buy the facial wash for £5.99 I only paid 99p and gained £6 in points I thought this was fab.
