    OK has the expert glitch been busted or have I done something wrong? Tried the hair loss spray with 2 tins of dry shampoo (£1.95 each) and got "qualification not met". This was on ss and with an sa. Using the spray free when you spend £10 acm voucher.

    The voucher needs a spend of £5 on expert products so if the full price is 1.95 each you will get 'deal not met'. Also as the spray is 6.65 and it takes off 9.99 , you have to make sure the products you buy add up to 3.34(after the third off if they are on offer) at least - else you are in to negative spend and the tills and SA dont like it !

    just in case expert hair stuff not reduced at my little boots
    To use the £9.99 voucher I think I have to make sure any items i get in the range add up to £10.00 at least but then to spend as little as possibleto keep it as near to £10 as i can .
    :confused:
    think ive got this right please let me know :beer:

    you need to spend £5 to use the ACM voucher, not £10, or as I discovered yesterday (I had a dream this was going to work and it did:D) if you buy products that have 1/3 off at the moment, you only need to spend pennies. Just work out your spend on the original cost, before 1/3 off kicks in..or copy my transactions from yesterday. HTH;):

    boots expert dry scalp shampoo, was £2.93, now £1.95

    boots expert anti-d shampoo, was £2.49, now £1.65

    boots expert spray, was £9.99, now £6.65


    Total to pay after I handed over ACM voucher for free spray: 26p:T
    I did this 4 times:T

    Looked online and the dry shampoo is included in the 1/3 off promo. so I still don't understand why it didn't work. DD specificaly asked for dry shampoo to take camping. I've three expert vouchers to use up so I may just have to stock up with other things.

    If the original price is £1.95, you would need to buy 3 for the glitch to work. I was going to get this myself yesterday, but then I realised my spend would be too low.

    Checked the ACM today and no expert hair loss voucher :confused:

    Mr B has fallen out with me I think as no decent offers anymore via acm or mailing.

    Anyhow - if any Wirral bootsers around Bromborough had about 8 of the sprays on the shelves this morning. Clearance was boring to say the least but did have a couple of reduced expert items from what I can remember.

    saw the voucher on mine but the SEL was not reduced. will that make a difference or is the whole range a third off regardless?
