ive amassed nearly £120 in advantage points but i still don't know what i can and cannot spend it on... can i just use it to buy purchases instead of using cash or a credit card say?!... can i use it to buy from boots.com??

regards,

No, not on Boots.com but instore. Look at the tickets on the shelf you can use for anything with a * on the label but like the previous poster mentioned, you have to use it for full payment, not part payment. You can even use them on 3 for 2's do if you buy 3 x items for £10.00 on 3 for 2 you would get charged 2000 points!! nice!!

Last year when I went there were people in store that just turned up but all they got was a 10% voucher given on the door - are you an advantage card holder already? I got a personal invite and had to call to get my voucher, without this I would not have got the extra points. Maybe it has changed this year then, I can't go til after the middle of November so I'll check the website then.

look out for the * next to the prices. that means you can buy it with points.

I noticed that a store which didnt previously stock dab radios and ipods near me had them in the other day. Probably new stock for christmas? so you could recheck in case the ones near you have anything you fancy.

I am an agent for a 'Hamper Company' my customers only order 'the High street Vouchers' from me-not the hampers (too expensive), I have got loads of customers, and end up with over £120 comisssion a year.

I get some vouchers myself, which can be used in Boots, would i still have the 1200 points if I spent £50.00 in High Street Vouchers?

Another question...if I put BOGOF say 3 x £10.00 on the till first, then BOGOF 3 x £5.00, would they taken off £10.00 then £5.00 saving £15.00. Or would they calculate at the end and take off £5.00 and another £5.00......does that make sense to anyone???

They always take off the 2 lowest value items, ie 2 x £5. You have to be real smart and a pain in the neck to get it right.

Phoned Boots this morning and they state that you do not have to book, just turn up.

Does anyone know if I can use advantage points to buy gift vouchers? And can I earn advantage points if I pay cash for the gift vouchers?

Thanks

NO you cant buy gift vouchers with advantage points.

Additional to what everyone else has said, the T&Cs for the xmas shopping events state:
"Customers will receive 1200 Advantage Card points for every £50.00 spent in a single transaction. Points are not available with Infant milks (up to 6 months), prescription items, gift vouchers/cards or postage stamps. At Boots Opticians, we'll give you 1 point for every £1 you spend. "
