Hi Everyone
just a quick question about the 300 ac voucher. if u dont buy the product its referring to (sorry cant remember wot specific no 7 products its for) dont the sales assistants get really shirty ie "u havent bought that product so i aint giving u the points"

its just that everytime i go to the counter i always seem to get the Sa's that read all the detail on the ac vouchers and i couldnt stand it if they got the upper hand :rotfl:

hope this makes some sense as i'm trying to type, think and keep an 8 month old amused at the same time!

it depends which boots you use i tend to use the fort boots as it is so busy especially at lunchtime that they never even look at the voucher and i also tend to use the pharmacy or purfume counter ive never had any probs. which boots do you go to????

If a product is worth £10 and you give a voucher for £5 (yellow leaflet) and you give the cashier £5 pounds in cash are you still entitled to a NO7 £5 voucher or not?

megasaver - I've thought about this again.

When I exchanged my day cream for a firming moisturiser, I wasn't using a TD voucher.

If it's any help, the till receipt said:-

---

Firming moist. 10.50
Day Creme -9.00 R
No 7 Vch UK Earn 0.00

---

Total to Pay 1.50

So what I said earlier about you maybe getting 3 x £5 vouchers if you'd paid for your creams as 3 separate transactions was wrong I think. I've now re-edited my earlier post to reflect that.

However if you were to take back one of your creams and swap it for another product - and that transaction exceeded £10 (as in my receipt above) - I think you'd be able to wangle it!

I think you'd have to do it in two trips:-

1) Take back say a day cream (£9) and swap it for a night cream (£10 yes?), pay the extra £1 and I'm sure you'd then be entitled to a No 7 voucher.

2) Then take back that night cream and swap it back for a day cream and buy something else to take your transaction over the magical £10. And you should get another voucher.

But be quick - apparently they stop the No 7 vouchers tomorrow.

The other thing is (sorry to be a bore) but if a product is reduced to 50p and you have a voucher that is worth £1.00 can you get 2 of those products for free or are you just entitled to just one.......?

As far as I know, yes. Although I saw freebie-junkie say otherwise earlier.

I bought 2 x TD Cleansing Masks last week, reduced to £3 each. Total cost £6 and the till still happily deducted a £5 TD voucher.

(And before anyone says it, yes I know I should've put them thru as separate transactions, but I'd run out of vouchers!)

My local Boots showed the Glitter Babes Party sets as £1, but the SEL also said "Christmas 2003", so they appear to be pretty elderly. But for 50p, still probably OK as party bag gifts, I suppose.

Just noticed that in the "Lose Weight" leaflet there is a save £5 on a Boots Capsule Gym Ball and in the "Get Fit" leaflet there is a save £5 on Boots Capsule or Massage Gym Ball.

Anyone tried using these together? The Capsule Ball is £10 in store.

Interesting! The coupons have different barcodes on them, so you never know.

It is cheaper to purchase these gym balls online I think without the coupon.

mrs lds - I think boiler_man was suggesting get the ball for £10 in store and see if the till will deduct both of the £5 off vouchers.

Chester store had stocked up all the leaflets, but had no TD products under £7.00 - bet they won't restock until 1st February

Saw a few Essential Aromatherapy items under a quid and I thought (wrongly) they were 4 for 3.
Till did not do the 4 for 3 and it came to £2.80 ish, handed over the £1 off voucher and had a balance to pay of £0.00! Tried again with 4 x Pulse Point Gel?...same result. It appears that it takes a quid off all EA items in a transaction.

hi what did you buy the first time?:j

sarahg1969

Yes, it definitely does - I bought two items at 75p each, thinking I'd pay the 50p difference. But there was nothing to pay!!

Ems!

Hello!

Can any1 help please? I know that the expiry date on the No7 vouchers is 31/1/06, but does anyone know when they stop issuing them? From other times they've had this promotion, I thought they did it up until the last day but my someone at my work went today and didn't get one - it wasn't shown on receipt, and she even asked abt it and they just said they aren't doing the vouchers. This was Manchester Market Street.
I was planning on going doing a couple of £10 transactions tomorrow to stock up on the illuminating lotion so I'll be gutted if they've stopped the No 7 vouchers.

Thanks v much for any help!

PS no TD under a fiver in Manchester market street today, no leaflets, a couple of clensers and loads of eye brightners at Denton crown point, no leaflets.
