Do you mind saying what city or store this was in? I wonder how fast it will take other stores to follow suit, as other people have used the Mitchum today. And I wonder why they had to go through having the manager come down; it would've been far nicer for the SA to explain it!

I managed to use 2 vouchers today at about 3pm but they did not scan and had to be manually inputted, same ones scanned fine yesterday. It was a small back of beyond store so prob way down the list for getting info from head office.

Is No7 still on BOGOF? as my store doesn't have any promotional signs up.

Mitchum Tin-tin has checked on the 'store net' alerts...this is where the boots management pull off all updates regarding any store alerts...there is nothing regarding mitchum on this and it is the only way in which store managers recieve their information from head office.

That's good news, thanks broclo and tintin if you read this. :beer:

Guess the SA or the supervisor were being economical with the truth then. Interesting. :cool:

The No 17 Vintage GWP and also the Max Factor GWP (the one with the shampoo/conditioner etc in) are going through the til free with any purchase - if you manage to find any that is. quote]

Sorry to snip ........ just wanted to let everyone know that the 17 vintage gwp came up as £3.99 on the till in my local today so might not be in all stores !

Wish it was in mine though, there were about 40 of them sitting on the top shelf !!!! :mad:

Just tried to pick up the old 17 gwp (vintage one I think?) and it came up on till as £3.99. I also had an eyeshadow for £3.19 and the free 17 item wys £3 ..... what did I do wrong? lol

The vintage GWP is on the clearance shelf of my local boots with £3 clearance stickers on them.

Hi guys,

Just to let you know that I also had a problem with the mitchum vouchers today and nearly keeked myself!

I was in Glasgow Buchanan street store (loads of mags, serum, JK files, lovely staff)
I got three cans of Mitchum there today and two yesterday

walked down the street to St Enoch and tried to get another can while using my time delay voucher on the self scan tills.


Anyway. I popped in my card and scanned the can of mitchum - hadn't tried to use the voucher or anything like that yet. Up on the screen it said something like maximum number reached, assistance required - cue flashing lights and busy body

She voided the whole thing and told me to try again. I didn't dare put the mitchum through - I was saving my points for an umbrella (sad?) and was afraid of losing them, so I left the Mitchum to the right of my basket and put through the Mens Time Delay After shave balm. Again, same thing - maximum number reached, assistance needed. I just bolted upstairs with my precious advantage card and went to another till and bought the umbrella with the points immediately.

I wasn't doing anything wrong, I wasn't trying to steal or anything, but I swear the adrenalin has only just left my blood stream and now I feel like I could go to sleep!

Moral of the story - If you are reading the debate on this page and wondering how many is being greedy, for me it was 5 Mitchum and 3 Time Delay products!!

Bebebelle forgot to update you on sactuary Charcol Masks...tin-tin has confirmed that you can indeed get three and pay 37p, the vouchers do not specify that they are to be used on ONE product nor anything regarding sachets. He checked them on the system and they are included.

He also said the Collagen Boosting Mask Sachets should go through too and has no idea why the till is not accepting, but will look into it if I give him a minute free in his day...lol oops!

EDIT: Forgot to add...he has sent Market street a message lol

My mum and I got our hair cut today and thought I'd drag her into Boots. She got some random stuff (she's not a bootser) and I thought I'd check ACM.

I have 2 voucher for No7 p&p...one is 150 pts WYB any 2 products p&p skin care range and the othe is 500 pts WYB 2 products p&p skin care range.

The barcodes are different....use together me thinks!

Hi Broclo,
I bought 2 charcoal Sanctuary masks, and 1 moisture boosting mask, expecting to pay 37p- the till took off £3.58 for the 2 charcoal ones, and then charged me £1.79 for the moisture one These were defo included last time so don't know what's happened
PS bless TinTin- he sounds a gem and so are you Broclo for passing on all of this valuable info :A

Personally I have not seen any No 17 GWP's or for that matter MF GWPs. :rotfl:
