so do u have to have 1 voucher per item or willit work with just 1 voucher per transaction. i didnt think they would let u put int more than 1 voucher per item per transaction. cant wait to try tho

Prudent

I got twelve of the body lotions in three seperate transactions (at different tills). Two of the assistants questioned it. One called the supervisor who agreed I could have them, but went down to take the whole range off the shelves. Still 450 points and twelve bottles of free hand lotion is great.

You have to have one voucher per item (not per transaction) to get 150 points per each item, but then it depends on the sale assistant if they all get accepted or just the one; since apparently it says on the voucher "just one per transaction allowed".

I bought 2 products today, handed 2x vouchers and got 300 pts (and paid 0.00!!) but then again it depends on the till assistant apparently....

hi thanks for this unfortunately points machines not working in redditch

Both Southampton High Street and West Quay have re-stocked up their shelves - yay!
West Quay is showing buy 2, get 2 free on all EI range. High Street isn't showing the same offer, but never mind - it's all freeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee. I'm surprised the advantage machine points machine hasn't stopped giving me vouchers but whilst they do I'll have to keep popping back in there! Have been putting through 4 vouchers at a time on the tills and nobody has said anything as yet.

silly question but are people putting these freebies through mingled with other purchases?

Just bought two handwashes and was charged full price for both items. The shelf stickers for BOGOF are still up but the reduction is not being taken off at the till. Definitely no free items here unfortunately (Coventry, Central 6). The assistant said that she had just had to do a refund for someone else too. I still managed to use two coupons though so I manged to get 300 points.

I have read this thread last night.

I haven't realised I could use a voucher for each product I bought of EI range and I bought soap and hand cream on 12/31 and they were not for free. I went into town today and thought I'll print out two vouchers and get some more EI products as I just noticed I am runing out of shower gel. So, I got two bodywash bottles and two vouchers from AM. I wasn't expecting it to be free... I also got a voucher for No& Christmas collection - 150 points, 150 points for £20 spend and I still had 250 points for No7 from the Christmas bag. And also, double points coupon from mailing...

I also got some Wellwoman and Visionace vitamins on 3 for 2 and Intuition shaver and No7 nail colour from Christmas range.

So, I went to checkout and lady scanned everything pressing some button on the screen after each product scanned. Then she started scanning vouchers and she read every single one of them!!!! I was afraid whe will say I can't use some of them... In the end, total came up as £20.73 and it said I saved £12.63. And I got total of 1002 points!!!!! Yes!!!!!

And when I started checking the reciept - the EI products were free!!!!!!!!!!

Yes I have been, although when I first did it by mistake I only bought one other thing which was 99p and they didn't notice.

I went to boots to buy some more EI items after realising I could probably use 2 points vouchers, and ended up with

3 * No7 tan wipes £3 (on 3 4 2)
4 * EI items - Free - but didn't realise until I'd left the shop !!
Cuticura Hand gel £1.29

I used 250 No7 voucher, 200 Cuticura voucher and 2*150 EI vouchers, so spend £4.29 and got 763 pts!

As I also wanted some T&G shampoo and they were sold out, I went to another Boots and purchased:

2 * Evian moisturiser - with BOGOF voucher, and reduced from 7.99 to 3.49, which assistant overrode, but ended up paying 1.23 for the pair
2 * Toni&guy 1L £7
no7 xmas range foundation reduced from £8.99 to £4.50
Meal deal lunch £2.99

I didn't buy any EI stuff the 2nd time as there was no offer sign there at all, however just handed over the whole pile of points vouchers I'd printed (250 No7, 150 No7 xmas, 50 lunch, 2 * 150 EI, plus also had 100 evening primrose and 200 Cuticura) to my amazement every single one of them went through the till, so that time I paid 15.97 and got 1174 pts. I've never had them work for stuff I haven't bought before, so maybe was to do with the assistant overriding the Evian part of the transaction, or else they really have something odd going on!

Total spent, £20.26. Total Points, 1957.

Effectively over £50 of toiletries to last ages for 69p! :j
