Boots points

[MissCommando]

Do you reckon you could use your points at a Boots in an airport? Didn't know if they had any strict rules cause they like to charge more etc. I've got about £35 in points!

[bednobs]

yes

The website says "We're sorry but points cannot be spent in Boots Opticians, on www.boots.com, or at Boots Hearingcare.", so I assume you can.

You have to have the exact amount of points to buy stuff though which shouldn't be a problem with your £35 lol. I've only got £2 odds left and can't spend it on what I want! They need to introduce part pay :)

I fell foul of that rule. Even the assistant didn't know why you couldn't add your own money to top up your points to make a purchase.

I think it's really stupid of them tbh.. The superdrug beauty card has that advantage though :) Maybe it will spur them on to change it x

Did I read somewhere that Boots owns Superdrug?

[erin-x]

They don't lol.. AS Watson own superdrug.. xx

[chrissa1]

Fair enough.

I'm sure when the Boots card first started you were able to use it to part purchase. I felt really embarrassed the other week, I visited the Clinique counter and signed up for an expensive special face cream where I would be monitored monthly to see if it was working. The beautician filled in a lot of paper work with my personal details etc then I went to pay the bill of £40+ using my card which I knew had £36 on it and a five pound note to make up the total and was told I couldn't do that. I was amazed - it seems the rules changed ages ago but I'm sure nobody was informed or I missed it. I ended up with a £40 bill which I could ill afford as I was too embarrassed to back out after all her work (took about 20 mins) Perhaps I should have been more assertive ..............

Oh poor you anne. I would have said that I just couldn't afford right now then and beat an elegant retreat.
