    Could someone tell me how it is that the SAs are not reading the voucher where it says 'over £30 on Oral B' to get 1500 points? I certainly don't want to be spending £25 on these without getting 1500 points back and I think I've been daydreaming when you've all talked about it! :o

    Also (god Im really not doing well today am I!) where does the voucher for Simple wipes come from?

    snipped

    I think because the Oral B brushes are normally expensive and lucky people are finding them reduced, and shopping with other items, SAs are just scanning vouchers. I have only recently found SAs who check every voucher before scanning. If there is a queue behind me, they normally just scan until till beeps.

    Simple baby wipes can be found near Simple baby products?:confused: I haven't seen them either, but haven't really been looking. Think it is a case of being lucky in store and finding them.

    Someone on here maybe able to let you have a few.

    I tried with 2 reduced brushes and the till beeped so still have the voucher and may try at a different store. If it beeps I can't see a SA putting it through . The one i had said it had to be on ONE toothbrush- the voucher does say ' on any oral b toothbrush' not ' on oral b'.

    Hi KJ

    I bought 2 x oral b sonice toothbrushes at £12.37 and used 1 1500 points voucher. The till sees the original price of the toothbrushes which was obviously over £30. Does that make sense
