Came home very upset I had no mirrors so thought I would try a small store, there were 3 on the shelf but SEL £39.99 got sa to price check £19.99 grabbed others quick, sa nearly had heart attack when price was £19.99 called the manager over neither could understand it, in the mean time the queue is getting longer behind me and Im about to have panic attack, manager eventually said if that`s the price it say`s then sell them at that, asked for my cards so slipped in £5 off voucher & 250pts prescription service at which point she threw them at me and said I might as well have give them to you, oh and can I keep your receipt to query this!!!!!
So got 3 mirrors £14.98, saved £104.99, 386pts and a fragrance voucher!!!!!!!

Huge Thank You To You All

It sounds like that manager may report and bust the glitch. Which others may have done already, anyway. So if anyone wants electricals, best get out there! I'm so tempted, but I really don't need any of them, and probably can't get out until Sunday when I think either the glitch will be busted or the stock will be long gone, lol.

But what worries me more is, was she noting your ad card number at all? I don't mean to worry you, it just sounds like they weren't thrilled with you getting a bargain and wanted to look into it. Can they figure out your ad card info from a receipt?

You should ask for your receipt back as this is part of your warranty on the items.

I should imagine so, but you've not done anything wrong if that's the price the till says and all your coupons were legit.

Yes they can - it's quite clearly printed in the bottom right hand corner about the barcode.

I did have this a while a go and didn't think it was any good I chucked it out (just like my old man predicted) But I do have a lot of hard skin a disc cutter would probably work on mine.

decision made~ won't bother popping back out;)

Also local had these on clearance stand for 20p

She didn`t make any notes while I was there, my ac number is on my receipt not sure if they can trace it on their till, will go to dif store and return other prezzies I have bought and re-buy with points just in case. Thanks

Hi
I was planning on buying 3 x No7 Mirrors if I could get them, but have decided the 3rd one I don't need for anyone. If I get 2 x Mirrors & the No7 P&P serum would it still count the glitch ???

Thanks in advance

You would get the serum for free, but you wouldn't get an additional 19.99 taken off like you would if you got a third mirror. The glitch is that the till is taking 50% off the price of all No7 elecrticals, *including* the one that rings up as free. So if your free item is the mirror, the till rings the mirror as zero AND takes another 19.99 off for it -- hence you get three mirrors for 19.99. But if you get the serum, the till will give it to you as free but won't take off any additional amount. The best buy is the three mirrors.
