I don't know if this is blatantly obvious but I only just realized this:

- I got NO ACM total spend voucher today, so I spent £15 and got 10% points, that is the normal 4% plus 6%= 60 + 90 points = 150

- Normally I would get a ACM WYS £15 for 100 points or 75 points, and I would get the normal points 60= 160 or 135 points.

If you check for £20 or £25 spends with the respective ACM WYS vouchers, it amounts to almost the same number of points.

Basically we are not that better off with this 10% offer, given the acms stopped issuing the total spend vouchers during these promotion days. In the good old days (a few months ago), we would add the ACM to the special promotion of triple points or 10 points per £1. But not anymore.

Online is a different story, sicne the 500 codes add to the 10 points offer, so if you spend £50 you get 1000 points, that is 20%!!
Makes you wonder, that MrB is getting smarter on us! :eek:

I never had any today despite trying 3 machines. But my local branch had a promotion and had 300pt vouchers wys £20 so that was an extra bonus for me :j

You touched lucky today MSMOO :T :T Did anyone else get a total spend AC voucher today?

:T Thanks Broclo...I have just noticed your location, and am off that way tomorrow...is there a large Boots? I have just looked at shopping centre details online but didn't notice Boots stores. Thanks in advance...:rolleyes:

Guildford is not huge. But can be good at times as seems pretty 'bootser' free! Boots is on the high street about half way up. It depends what you are looking to get to whether it is the right boots to go to in the area. What are you after? If you want to know specifics then pm me ?

However today I got 12 jam sessions and 10 free gwp bags(till saw£60 spend) and paid £30 in points, so they may not have any more out the back???

Clearance had hacket at the bottom.

Talking of points... I can never get rid of things, brand new SA's eyes popped out today at my points balance as just shot up massively again. But i've spent in the last month £250 of points nearly! My thoughts are...if you are buying something with a coupon etc then obviously you pay in points. If something is on clearance or normal price you pay with points. Except in the case of when you are trying to accumalate till spits. Therefore as I have no need for current till spits at present, all transactions without coupons will be paid for in points.

The £17.50 Sanctuary (Grey hatbox) wasn't reduced, I checked, was also told there was no plans to reduce it neither.

Hi pollsdolls

Rubes, will know better than me, but I think that's a £2.50 reduction. (Not much I know ) Haven't seen them for less than £20, and can't check online, it keeps freezing on me.

Polls what are the heart things at the front of your pic ? They look nice

Hi AM, they are Heart shaped magnetic photo frames £1 each and BOGOF.
I even managed to get a 200pt voucher . but the till rejected it, and SA did not think these were photo frames Not too bothered as they are nice.

I thought They were magnetic as in 'they will stick on the fridge type' but it is the front perspex that is magnetic. You pop it off to put the photo in. Great for the price.
I have seen them mentioned on here before, but they were always full price before today. Hope the little one is feeling better today. :T :T

:T Wow! thanks for that info, that's great. What am I looking for, mmm that's where I admit to my addiction...bargains:o ! I am interested in reduced S&G jam sessions and the Med GWP as none around this area, but also got 350 points for No7 range today, and a magazine with 200 points so might try for GWP.
Yes, am working on the same lines as you with regard to spends but have only got about £30 on card as have spent a lot on reduced stuff recently, thanks again for tips - will think off you as I trudge around unfamiliar territory:D
I will try and pm you - have never done it before though, so don't expect one

PS Passion you noticed on Polls picture most of the items had clearance stickers on then. Not much chance of that happening here:rolleyes:
