    No spend on No7 GWP mmmmmmmmmmm let me think,
    Does anyone have cute Newborn, this is how my friend got through, lets just say a few glitches , hidden in a moutain of nappies,wipes, dummies,cotton wool etc etc.S/A distracted by worlds cutest bubba boy.:rotfl:

    Top tip, dont bring along Bebebelle to stand shaking behind a post, as you are doing expert glitch and then telling you stories of people losing cards and points.

    i don't think i would try and get the gwp for absolutley nowt, i'm more than happy with the 5.50 and 500 points back, if boots suddenly get a lot of people putting things through and then voiding it off, they will only come down on others for the sake of it, i had a gwp put through first today and it does beep as required spend not met - until you purchase suncare/cosmetics

    I screwed up today with my No7 suncare and vouchers, I tried to buy 2 of these prod_thum.jpgand use the £5 off TS and 500pts wyb No7 P&P range mailing voucher. The till beeped because I hadn't realised the items I picked weren't P&P so I told the young SA to void them, but get this the GWP he put through was still in my bag. I paid for the rest of my shopping and rushed outside to look at the receipt, I didn't get charged for the GWP it says on the receipt No7 Palette GWP £0.00:eek:. I think I just found my first glitch:T :j

    It sounds like the SA voided the whole transaction whilst you had it in your bag then you both forgot it was there. If it had been re-scanned along with your shopping then you would not have been able to get it.......

    Obviously I'd be the first who'd love to know different......

    Nighty-night all!

    "True", said the Lady, "I will have the shoes and the bag as well".

    I might send them some after all then, just had visions of their disappointed face when they opened it, back to Boots i go then. I did explain to the SA why i bought so many boxes of the things. She told me her OH was serving in Afghanistan so she thought it was a really good idea. Planted a seed in her head and said "I bet Boots have loads of stuff they throw away that could be sent over there........."

    I was talking to the manager of my store today about what they do with leftover stock...she said it had to be destroyed :eek: She did say that they very rarely do this as they usually give it to charities but occasionally they do bin it....i mentioned the soldiers and she thought it was a good idea..what she didn't think was a good idea was that she should give it to me instead:D well i had to ask didn't I??
