When you spend £5 in store you get a voucher for £5 off any purchase of ruby&millie or No7 cosmetics. The voucher is pink so we call it a "pinky". If you use a self service till you get the same voucher, but in the form of a till spit that comes out along with your receipt. Both the pinky and the till spit have different bar codes so can be potentially used together.

Thank You Claire

So, this would give £10 off if you presented both of them?
Do you have to use them to buy the product they are for?
Sorry if I appear dumb..I am..with all this knowledge you all have!!

They go through together but it would be better to do on a self service till, as otherwise it would be dependent on your sales assistant scanning them both and some may refuse. Im in NI where we don't have SS tills and have no experience of using the till spits, so i'll leave it to some of the more experienced peeps to help you with that x

I'm trying to get the most points/£ spent over the weekend

So far my best effort is:

DKNY Women Fall EDT
http://www.boots.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?storeId=10052&productId=125020&langId=-1&catalogId=11051
£35.00 with 500 points

Bvlgari Omnia
http://www.boots.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?storeId=10052&productId=51367&langId=-1&catalogId=11051
£34.00 with 1000 points

Lacoste Touch of Pink EDT
http://www.boots.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?storeId=10052&productId=15404&langId=-1&catalogId=11051
£34.00 with 500 points

1500 points on t'internet
1000 points with £100 spend (amelia's post earlier)
412 standard points

£103 spend, 4912 points plus 3% pigsback

I tried adding three of the Bvlgaris but this did not give me 3x points.

If anyone can better this, I'd really appreciate it

Many thanks

Best I can get is:

Bvlgari with 1000pts
Touch of pink with 500pts (or the other perfume with 500pts)
That brought total to £68, then added just over £10 worth of baby essentials for 200pts.
With 750 pts code that gave me 4262 pts for £78.71, not a bad percentage return

(I'm not planning on actually buying it I was just super bored!)

I've been away and only just catching up.

Has anyone else mentioned points from .com being added twice? Mine were added when I checked at the ATM 10 days ago and the same amount added again yesterday

You can use both of them together as they have different barcodes. In theory we are only supposed to use one per transacion, as technically they are the same voucher, but they look totally different.

Some SA's wont take 2 of them thats why people tend to use them on SS tills.

Here is a list of the cheapest items you can use them on. Thanks to sophisticated for putting it together.:T :T The list shows the price after using one £5 voucher.

It must all seem very confusing now, but it will all fall into place I promise;) Just stick with us. :j

Not sure if anyone's answered this either (I'm all over the place tonight ) but it's not oily at all imo.

I'd ask a friendly No7 SA (there are some btw ) for a sample. I know they do them for the No7 day and night cream so possibly for the P&P too?

And fwiw, the P&P is the best. Unfortunately I had a reaction to it, but I've since had a reaction to other ranges, including Simple so I might give it another whirl. I loved the stuff

will ask instore tuesday see if my sa will be nice and give me some samples:rolleyes:
dnt wanna spend loads on buyin it only to find it doesnt agree with my skin lol:rotfl:
