    no info, minimum spend? etc

    might pop in to see.

    got £80 worth of points to shift, and there is nothing I fancy at all.
    they are burning a hole in my pocket!

    Don't forget, at the moment, for each spend of £5, you get £10 of skincare vouchers free.

    If you get this months magazine, and then buy boots time delay with one of your free vouchers (the other is for no.7), you get £2 worth of points on top with a coupon in the mag.

    Re tomorrows offer - if you spend £30 in one go, you should get £5 free on your card, AND £10 of free skincare vouchers (total £15 free)

    But spend 6 lots of £5, to reach the same £30, and you get £60 of skincare vouchers, but lose the £5 of points (total £60 free)

    I know which one i will be doing.

    Isn't it £10 for every purchase over £5, rather than £10 for EVERY £5?

    So if I spend £30 then I will get £15 back, £5 in points, £5 for skincare & £5 off No7?

    Do it separately?
    I was thinking of trying that Sanctuary cleaning balm its £9.99, so if I buy 3 at £9.99 each, I get £30 worth of vouchers back.

    If I bought 3 & a little cheapie, I would get £10 worth of vouchers & £5 in points.

    £5 or over, but only one of each voucher, no matter how high the spend.

    yes.

    yes, but you are spending £30 and getting just £15 free. Buy one, then another with the voucher, and then another with the voucher. Then for just a £20ish spend, you get the same 3 sanctuary balms, and a spare £5 skincare voucher + 3 £5 no.7 vouchers, but no points (meaning a £20 spend, approx, gets you the same thing, and £20 of free vouchers to use on other items - see below. You spend less, and get more FREE)

    Here is how:- Buy one sanctuary at £9.99. You will then get a facecare voucher (printed by the till), and a no.7 voucher from a pad. Sanctuary is one of the items on the voucher (Time delay, L'oreal RevitalifT, L'oreal wrinkle decrease, Olay regenerist, olay total effects, olay definity, sanctuary facial skincare, tri-aktilline instant deep wrinkle filler).

    Heres the clever bit. Buy another, using your voucher, and £4.99 cash. Buy something cheap, like a packet of crisp, to take it over £5 in cash paid, and you will get another £10 of vouchers. :D And you still have the no.7 to use from the first shop. Repeat, to get your 3rd Sactuary balm.

    Of course, if you buy something else first, for a fiver instead of the £9.99 sanctuary balm, it would be even better, as all your santuary items would then be £4.99 each, and you would not be paying full price for any of them.

    It gets quite addictive, but i am buying lots of things i need to stock up on, making sure i dont go much over £5 each time, then get lots of the free skincare items for self & pressies etc.

    This offer goes on till 9th sept i think. Theres no min spend on the two £5 vouchers, so if costs less than £5 its free (and 200 points back as well if you choose time delay and use a coupon form the free magazine, as stated earlier).

    I used my first free voucher to get something that was £8.99. After deducting the £5, i realised that adding just another £1.01 of items, would get me another £10 of free vouchers, and it just went on from there. Everytime i take the vouchers in, i do it again. I must have all the time delay and no.7 range by now lol.:rotfl:

    The free skincare offer goes on till 9th september, so if you do have a fiver spare before then, treat yourself to £10 of freebies - because your worth it, lol.
