This is continuation of Boots Grabbit Part 42
Updated - 14 November 2008

This post contains all the updated glitches, offers etc and post 2 contains Q&A so please read the first and second posts of this thread for any answers you need. This will save a lot of duplicate questions on this thread.

All Boots seems to have different policies. What happens in one does not necessarily happen in another. :mad:

BOOTS CS - 0115 918 2000
Boots Replacement AC - 0800 9150004
Boots CS Email - [EMAIL="btc.cshelpdesk_team@boots.co.uk"]btc.cshelpdesk_team@boots.co.uk[/EMAIL]

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.

I will catch up on the old thread sometime, time permitting but before I do:
Was a decision made on how we could share glitch info without nosey MrB watching over us?

Also all you mummies with littlies who love 'In the Night Garden' Sainsburys toy sale has a fair amount of the stuff all half price. I know there's no Boots points but a saving anywhere is better than not at all.

Hi guys, not sure if the No7 TS/Pinkie combo has been busted as I tried at SS till and although I scanned and posted both vouchers till only deducted 1 x £5 :mad: , receipt also shows both vouchers. Also tried the R+M brushes £2.50, got one lot of 2 through 0.00 to pay with pinky, tried again (possibly on different till), voucher scanned and posted £5 still to pay. SA came over and said you can't get 2 of those with that", I said "I have before" so she said "they've stopped it". Tried what I thought was S&g gwp but scanned at £12 :eek: . So I gave up and came home. Still have about 7 TS/pinkies but looks like the 'freebies' have been busted :mad: . Anyone else had success with TS/pinky combo today?

Got my free EA quad though and no consultation :T
