re. the mitchum coupons - i was also refused the 50% coupon today asthey said it was a photocopy - i said that it was not a photocopy but that I had printed it out from the internet using a black and white printer - anyway - they were having none of it and said that somebody had used some in that store yesterday and that they had been told not to accept them. to be honest I am not sure what all the fuss is about. I havejust visited the 2 web sites where these coupons came from (see links on the first page of this thread) and they are both completely legitimate coupons. BOTH coupons also say that 1 coupon to beused "per product purchased" - it does NOT specify a limit on how many you can print out at all - so if i wanted to buy 10 in the same transaction then it would be perfectly legitimate to use 10 separete coupons. Boots will be able to recoup the money from these coupons. I know there have been issues with the huggies coupons but that is because they are all unique, they have somebody's name on them, and you are only supposed to be able to print one coupon, unlike the mitchums which are unlimited. I will not attempt to use any more of these in my local as as far as i am concerned it is more hassle than it is worth. I have used several of these in different stores over the past week or so but as far as I am concerned there is no problem with this.

Hope this helps those of you who may be worried about having used these...

i think its more a case of it is suppossed to be one per item, but people are using the 1 pound off and the 1.50 (50%) together against 1 tin. meant to be one voucher per tin not one of each

AM yes the huggies vouchers mentionned are those that print with a barcode on the left and a fuzzy black/white id code on the right coupon net/star and are the 3 pound huggies ones. Only meant to be ONE voucher per customer not one customer and 100 vouchers.

Sorry if i'm sounding off with voucher users i'm not, i use plenty of different vouchers/coupons myself, but these ones to me are borderline, as multiples of the same id vouchers to boots and the payments are refused to boots for the copyright breach/ t&c's etc

yes boots should get the money back for the mitchum only problem is greedy people(using too many vouchers) as with alot of the glitches - not saying though that if there was a good one i'd let it pass..........................

please don't shoot me down - been out tonight playing darts.....i came second, there were two of us playing lol

Ive got the major hump:(

2 of the stores i went to today didnt stock the TS long hair stuff:( so that was thet glitch out the window!!

The 2nd store I went to i thought to myself im not leaving here empty handed so i got a bottle of toni&guy conditioner and a mitchum deod, used my 50% off voucher and the SA had to manually put it through ...so...far so good I then handed over another voucher over for 200extra points, she scanned it and said no your not getting any money off that, i said politly, the voucher isnt a money off one its just for extra points and she handed it back to me and said come back again and try it, there is a queue building up!!!!

Just to let you all know .....this was my first time actually using a voucher!!!!

Am loving the TS glitch at the moment - my hair has never been so well cared for lol!! SA looked really puzzled today as my total dropped from £35 to around £9 for a basket full of bits and bobs with 1200 points back!! :j (not exciting enought to list though!)

Am still a novice at this - BUT have added up all my spend for this month which totals £75 - but got 4156 points so less than £35 "real" money - gotta love boots logic!! Still got 3 pinkies and a spit left to go at yet.

I need to try and stay out of boots!!!...........well for a few days at least......:rotfl:

Sorry you had a bad time mumoffour (especially as it was your first time using a voucher!)

Unfortunately there are mean sales assistants out there (as with all shops, not just boots!) and you just have to bite your tongue and put it down to experience. Such bad luck that it happened on your first time though ! Even the more 'established' bootsers still have trouble using vouchers, it all depends on whether the assistant will happily put them through for you.

Can you be brave and maybe try another store/assistant? Just for info the Toni & Guy extra points vouchers have beeped for me too. Maybe you could try something else that you know won't beep to get your confidence up?

Then, hopefully, you will get a nice little bargain and you can go on your way and sweetly smile.

Chin up and don't forget we're all here to answer questions etc .... xx
