Just got in touch with boots for the 3rd time. For some reason I haven't been put on the list properly so they are giving me £10 in points. I will still have to wait another 4 weeks for vouchers etc. but at least I'm getting the points

it took ages to get mine through after applying. never had any free maternity pads or breast pads though. had book of vouchers but branches near me don't stock half of the stuff so only used no.7 & soltan. changing bag good but had different contents to one friend got for some reason. at the end of the day we are getting stuff for free so anything is better than nothing i suppose!! baby due 1st december - do we get anything once baby is born?

my sister got the pregnancy freebie booklet in with a magazine, i didn't because i joined a few weeks before my baby was due, you only get the freebies if you join in early pregnancy.

if they've sent the voucher for the huggies bag you might not get the pregnancy freebies, might be worth asking. after you've had the huggies bag and avent pack it just seems to be money off nappies, wipes, babyfood etc. and they quite often seem to send more than one copy. the first set i got were for money off newborn nappies which was a shame because at 4 weeks old he was in size 3 nappies, but the recent ones are money off any size huggies. they have been sending me money off baby food since he was around 9 weeks old which i think is quite irresponsible seeing as he's too young for weaning.

i like the magazines, very useful.

I got my magazine today with points for joining but no freebies for NO7. is this correct!!

depends what you signed up with - is your child already born? the no7, soltan etc. freebies were for people in early pregnancy. the huggies bag etc. was for late pregnancy or newborn babies. the 500 points were for people with older babies. i got the huggies bag etc. but no extra points.

Thanks for the explanation. Yes DD is 20 months old. So I'll have to have baby no 4 to get the good freebies!!!

or just tell them you're pregnant, they don't ask for proof lol!

Hi guys I wonder if any of u can help? I went into boots today and took my £5 mediterranean voucher out of pregnancy booklet. I picked up some body butter from med range but when took to counter, voucher would not go through. The assistant said it had to be from pregnancy part of range but I told her I couldn't see any and was told it would have been by the baby stuff. As I had my 2 children with me and buying other stuff I really couldn't be bothered to go look so told her to leave it nd would use next time. However I decided to have a quick look on Boots.com when I arrived home and could find the med range but nothing that specifies a pregnancy range I thought if they did it would be on there. Has anyone got this voucher and got something with it? I'd hate to waste a good oppurtunity to pamper myself especially when it is free. :-))

my sis had the same problem with hers but today she found a gift set (pregnancy). it cost £10 and she asked if she could pay the difference but it went through as free!

i never used mine as none of the boots round here stock that range (i tried 5 different ones). i emailed cus service who sent me a list of codes so something could be ordered but the descriptions were abbreviations so didnt know what they meant & couldnt be bothered to work them out!
