    I bought 2 x No7 Tan maintainer @ £10 on bogof and got gwp.

    Paid £10 with points.

    Glitch is working again ladies :D

    No signs in my store either to say No7 suncare was on offer:rolleyes:
  • Well today I planned to get the new 17 gwp as been holding off buying pressed powder till this started....well I didnt even make it to boots.....grrr.....I went to a book shop and paid by card....they over charged me so I queried it they got abusive and begrudingly gave me my £1!!!! yep £1 back and hurled abuse at me as I walked away. Just as was out of ear shot (or so they thought) I heard the one say.."don't worry I have her card details" I was horrified and ran back to work. Bank have cancelled my card but it means I can't get any money out till the new one arrives in 7 working days!!! so no bootsing for me till then.....unless OH can lend me some money...god I hate it when things don't go to plan AND because I didnt get to boots I didn't get any lunch so now I am starving!!! Phew rant over.....is the new 17 GWP really nice????
    Will not spend more money:naughty:, but will spend more time looking for that great bargain!:dance:

    she didn't buy them as they weren't labelled 3 for 2 in store. I might pop round later and try to get them on 3 for 2, will ask first.

    Have you rung Customer Services hun?

    That's disgusting behaviour and I don't think CS would be too pleased to hear that tbh.

    Wow, that's absolutely shocking behaviour!! The shop I mean obviously!! I would write a letter to their head office and name & shame the staff. Don't let them get away with it and possibly do it to someone else. I am :mad: on your behalf!
