Successfully getting some of the better glitches often depends on if the SA you pick is willing to try. Its sometimes sensible to buy some other things to 'disguise' your bargain. If the SA won't put it through, please don't make a fuss - they are only doing their job. Just try again another SA / store / day. It is a good idea to try and make a friend in a SA if possible.

Thanks CPG your so good at keeping us up to date!!
does anyone have a toothbrush points coupon? we are going to the open evening tomrrow and me and my mum are both buying two. it would be much appreciated! Thanks.claire0 -
New thread for me to boast on. I have a new granddaughter, number 5. Born yesterday, Emily Olivia arrived in Worthing to my 2nd daughter and hubby. Details and piccies to follow.
Just had to share.0 -
...Could you tell me which Oral B toothbrush works with the electrical vouchers and the 1500 points please?i shud guess oral b toothbrushes that r ova £30 (pre offer), unfortunatly alot are marked up as rrp 29.99p so to use the electrical vouchers u may be able add sum spare heads, or two brushes with two differant vouchers; the 8000 brush will work its £45ish though....
i goin try two brushes with two electrical and 1500 points pc coupon tmz i think
Thanks CPG for the new thread!!
Well I hate to dissappoint you guys, but I've tried in 3 different stores, with different combo around 2 weeks ago, 2 vitality brushes for £29.99, and one pro 6000 brush for £39.99 (not on offer), and brush with heads for £31ish, but the 1500 pts coupon just never go through
. It did work on 2 brushes (£24.99) 3 months ago, but now seems not working on anything at all, even if you spend over £30, unless SA add it manually.
The elec voucher (glossy and ts) and elec mailing voucher are all working without prob. Again it's SA dependant whether you are allowed to use the pts coupon with any.
HTH and good luck. Let us know how you guys get on
