    does anybody know if they still have the 500 points in the ACM for memory cards. My local have a few reduced memory cards, but no ACMs are working. Also, does anybody know if you can use an ACM from one store in another store. Thanks in advance, Freda
    Freda, yes you can use ACM vouchers in any branch of Boots, even if they don't have an ACM.

    From Boots.com:

    Why doesn't my local store have an advantage card extra offers kiosk?
    We have selected our larger Boots stores to house our kiosks because they have a much wider range of products than our smaller stores and therefore we are able to broaden and increase the number of offers we make available. Coupons can be used in any Boots store as long as the coupon has not expired and the product is stocked.

    You can print it out here and take a copy with you if you have any problems.

    I only stood my ground because of this thread, and all the good folks on here who post the info:T:T.
    I already been on to CS once today because on saturday a real snooty moo of an sa screwed up and threw away a 500 points voucher that she said I couldn't use because the item was reduced! CS said that's incorrect, unless specifically stated, it doesn't matter if the item is reduced, gave me 500 points.

    See where it says:

    So if what you wanted was in stock, I'd refer the SAs in question to their own website d_d.

    Hi DD, this confirms that they were wrong. Click here for full text


    Why doesn't my local store have an advantage card extra offers kiosk?
    We have selected our larger Boots stores to house our kiosks because they have a much wider range of products than our smaller stores and therefore we are able to broaden and increase the number of offers we make available. Coupons can be used in any Boots store as long as the coupon has not expired and the product is stocked. We have also added some extra offers kiosks into a number of smaller stores where there has been a business requirement to fill in geographical gaps ensuring our customers do not have to travel too far to their nearest extra offers kiosk store.

    Thanks geordie_lass :) (and pollsdolls!) Didn't see your post, but it was that info that I printed out and keep in the car, just in case.

    Incidentally dozy_dora, I was given points because of being misinformed over the voucher issue.

    I asked her if she wouldn't mind phoning CS to check:rotfl::rotfl:Cos I knew i was right, (read it on here somewhere)
    then because my points were erm 2500, for £10 spend (due to reduced items), they took the stuff off the shelf
