I will use another boots 4 abit but she had my number to manager. do u think can get done 4 buyin coupons off ebay...

I suppose if you constantly did it, they would do something?

I would just keep under the radar a bit at your local and pick a 'dozy' looking SA or weekend staff if doing anything major.

My local know i'm awful and a few of the SA's get a bit arsey with me, but I just ignore their attitudes and shop away, but only pull major glitches on staff that do not know me well.

Thing is, I know there is all this talk of people getting cards took off them or their card numbers noted, but if you are only using your vouchers, and just combining ones you're entitled to use, then what exactly are you doing wrong? What could boots actually use as a reason for confiscating your card or points? Seeing as you are only using vouchers your are entitled to use?

i think with the econmy being as it is stores are going crack down save money, the moc's are being scrutinised lots in asda and tescolditz - boots must b feelin the pinch but too it was my own doing should been more careful

The thing is though with all these glitches etc, its not our fault that we get lots of shopping for free, as if boots were really that bothered they would prgramme tills to make sure they didnt work. Something would have been done about it now if it was causing alot of trouble. I can understand people getting scared about doing them, but its not us in the wrong to be honest.

I dont know how other peopl feel about this.....

It dawned on me last night in bed that if I had the 2 expert voucher 92 & 93 I could max out on lotions & potions to put me in credit on the till & then send through my No7 purchases for the free GWP leaving me with a nominal cash total to pay.......

Problemo is I gave 1 set away as a RAK & the other I swapped....BUMMER. T'was so hard to get off to sleep thinking of the combos I could've done but instead they have gone to peeps who'll appreciate & use the expert stuff.
Dang, just another thought I could've boot saled it all.

Mr T has corrupted my train of logical thinking.

I think it would be right to say that there are a great deal of mse'rs who use a hubbys vouchers or buy from ebay? I guess it could cause problems, it certainly did to one bootser a while back and was taken very seriously.

My concern is more 'hiding' our bargains, so that glitches do not get busted so quickly and that it does not result in boots paying far more attention to their programming of tills etc

In the case of using your hubby's vouchers, you could always claim you're shopping on his behalf and forgot his card surely? No certain about ebay, as its something I don't do. And mostly only ever use my own vouchers, apart from two vouchers I used.

As far 'hiding' our bargains, I don't know if this will really work, as you always have your saving listed at the end of the recipit, so any beady eyed SA would see this? If you are only using your own vouchers then I think boots would find it very hard to challenge you as you are using them according to the terms and conditions (in most cases)

Talking about the Pink No7 GWP...........

Is it just me.....or are the free No7 Liplicious gloss tubes that come in the GWP really poor?

The one's I have had were just rubbish when you squeeze it a runny clear liquid comes out as if it's split, then eventually the colour gloss come out which is really thick, sticky, nasty & gloopy a really horrible consistency and taste too!!

I was only shocked because aren't they supposed to be about £9.00??

Moan over!!! :rotfl: I need to get a life it was Free!!

Anyone else think that...............or is is just me!!

Nope, I had EXACTLY the same problem with all my old style Liplicious lip glosses, the new range is completely different and much much better
