A WOMAN left other beauty lovers open-mouthed when she revealed her clever hack on how to bag a Dyson Airwrap for FREE.
The ultimate savvy shopper shared how she’d waited two years to get her hands on without handing over any of the hefty £479.99 price tag – but she said it was well worth the wait.
So how did she do it? And can other bargain hunters follow in her genius footsteps?
The lady in question explained how she’d saved up her Boots Advantage Card points over a period of 24 months.
Whenever she purchased something in the high street store, she gained 3 points for every £1 spent – and eventually ended up with a whopping 39,999 points which came to the total she needed.

She took to the Facebook group Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK and shared a screenshot proving she’d paid in points when the popular hair styling device had an additional offer of 8000 points off.
The member of the group then wrote: “Been saving my Boots Advantage Card points and treated myself to the Dyson Airwrap – merry ‘free’ Christmas for me!
“I always check the additional points deals on the Boots.com app.
“I recycle in store as often as I’m able – 500 points for 5 empty beauty packaging (toothbrushes, wipe packets, empty bottles etc) and I decided to commit to saving.
“It’s taken me 2 years to save for it but I think it’s been worth it.”
She continued: “I could never justify £480 or £400 so getting it from points on things I was buying anyway seems like a good deal.”
And fellow members of the group couldn’t believe how well she’d done, or that she was now the proud owner of the Onyx and Gold version of the hair styler without having had to save the cash.
The post gained almost 5k likes, with many people reacting with a shocked face.
One person commented: “That’s amazing! Makes all the wait worthwhile as well.”

Another joined the conversation and said: “Amazing!! Well done you.”
A third then wrote: “Well done – that’s amazing. I didn’t know about the recycling either!”
At the same time many commented saying they’d been inspired to follow suit and start saving their Boots points right away.
One person wrote: “We will get there – lots of Boots trips needed.”
A second social media user added: “I have about £60 on mine, I think I’m going to keep going and do this – what a great idea.”
As another said she’d already had a slight head start, as she typed: “I’m doing this!! Nowhere near enough yet but slowly working my way to it.”
