    I'm just nipping out to try the glitch again (this bootser doesn't give up easily:rotfl: ) I will buy more facial suncream and try tillspit with 500points acm voucher. I am not going to buy anything else in the same transaction. If it doesn't work this time I will say, "sorry I have changed my mind" and walk away. Must find a nice male SA to serve me;)

    EDIT: just seen AM's post. Not going to bother now:( boots are on to us. Spoil sports
    It seems then Sally that SA probably did scan your voucher yesterday..but it just didn't reduce the amount as there were certainly no beeps...the Sa that served me before was lovely ~ I have never been served by her before but she was really good, no tut at voiding the transaction to try again for me. ( she'll go on my tick list;) )

    Hmmm...this is confusing!

    These have worked...
    FRI sam84uk/shoegal1 2 X prod_thum.jpg+ GWP + SPIT + PC
    FRI Melgirl 1 X prod_thum.jpg(Firm) + prod_thum.jpg + GWP + SPIT + ACM
    FRI bluetimone97 2 x prod_thum.jpg+ GWP + SPIT + ACM
    SAT moyilla 2 X prod_thum.jpg+ GWP + SPIT
    SAT GemmaC25 2 X prod_thum.jpg+ GWP + SPIT
    SAT embo70/sarah skint 2 x prod_thum.jpg(dark) + GWP + SPIT + ACM
    SUN sonee24052 2 X prod_thum.jpg+ GWP + SPIT
    SUN -MRS T- 4 X prod_thum.jpg(glossy)+ GWP + SPIT + PC

    These have not...

    Yesterday when sarah skint tried in conjunction with trevor sorbie and today when melgirl tried 2 x facial, with a free meal deal. Both transactions had a free item, so may be best to advoid free/money off things and just do points vouchers with the till spit?

    Hopefully some one will report back something that works today :eek:
    Lets hope so ~ fail for me today

    Hi everyone,

    I hope someone can help as yet again I had another bad experience in Boots at the weekend, the SA refused to even scan my voucher for £5 off when you spend £20 or more on your holiday shop as the items I were buying were on Bogof. This was despite the fact that I bought a reduced Chanel No.5 perfume at £30.50 and some other bits and pieces. Cheeky Moo. I dont know if where I go the SA's are just on a high alert but I really really dont want to go through it again.

    Anyways, I plan to go today and use an ACM voucher I got - valid until 12th August for 250 points when you buy Botanics 3 Minute Deep Conditioning Mask. This is 4.99 and currently on offer - 2 for £5 on selected Botanics Hair Care - checked online and and the conditiong Mask is highlighted as being included. Will this work with the voucher Ive got or will they pull me up again. Also can someone clarify that with the Trevor Sorbie voucher from the mag you can buy any Trevor Sorbie product except for the mens range and minis to get your free long hair product as Ive been pulled up about this before and the item I was trying to get was a full size product just not from the long hair range.

    Sorry to go on, help would be appreciated before I give up on Boots altogether.

    Lisa

    p.s. I will get round to listing all the vouchers Ive got that I wont use as its silly to hang on to them when I can pass them on to more successful Bootsers than myself.
    Botanics ~worked fine for me no problems

    TS I have had problems with this had loads of beeps seems to work best when you get long hair conditioner ( blue) and shampoo (blue) gave me no beeps

    Oh, just remembered, has anyone tried the 200 points when you spend £10 or more, in a single transaction, on travel healthcare. Valid until 29th July 2008, with the new £5 off £20 spend on travel voucher.

    I tried it with facial suncare alongside the £5 spit, but it beeped and was handed back, along with a £1 off travel healthcare.
    Real men never follow instructions; after all they are just the manufacturer's opinion on how to put something together. :p

    The TS one should be no problem as you are not trying to use any other offer, in my local they have a big TS display with copies of the voucher basically advertising the deal in the mag

    These beeps get more bizarre..never had the beep on these items

    infact I think the SA's were relieved that I had actually founnd a combination they didn't have to override

    Model Me still beeped for me on Saturday but points added no problem
