  • Can i ask, what is the requirements to receive the Olay GWP?
    Is it just going through for free or do you have to purchase a Olay product, and if so, which ones qualify?
    Reason i ask is that i have a voucher for Save £4 when you buy any Olay Total Effects moisuriser.
    TIA

    I had a £4 off voucher which i used to buy a Olay TE hand Cream and got the GWP. I think it bleeped but the SA overrode the till so I paid about 86p, but as I said think it was because the SA was lovely! Think lots of others on here were getting the GWP without buying any Olay but I'm too chicken to try :rolleyes:

    Hi ive just had my order today i placed on xmas eve wish i hadn't bothered now as even my tiny local that never has gifts as is more of a chemist has had a delivery of lots of no 7 stuff. Would it be really bad if i waited to see if i could get them in the 75% sale and take my order back after as get 28 days to take it back. I need to save now as just found out i am pg again :D I guess i just got swept away with the 50% sale. Wish i had got the gwp glitch well done everyone that did get it.

    Congratulations kitiaracat, I hope it all goes well for you:T :T

    Last year I wanted the Scents of Attraction & tried to get one in 75% but they said they stayed at 50% :mad: They either fibbed, or they will stay 50%. I was gutted :confused:
    KJ1980 bagged me over a dozen sets in the 90% sale last year :confused:
  • Hamilton Boots (inside the Regent Centre) still had quite a bit of 50% sale stock (so don't any on here go buying anything!!!) and still a fairly good selection of reduced fragrance sets. I spent a lovely half hour wandering round planning all the things I plan to buy.

    And i am worn out looking for the darn thing!!!
    Been to 4 different stores today, and not 1 single Olay GWP in sight :confused:

    I was wondering does the 250pts voucher from the gift sets work if you are buying mens no7 and also does the blinky work too

    Thank you for posting this, you have just explained why my vouchers wouldnt scan (although they were added manually) I was using them with reduced No 7 items. Even the No7 SA didn't twig this.
    Does anyone know if the SS tills will scan them as 500pts with full price products??:confused:

    Yep scans at 500 points on full priced items minus pinkie, definately works on SS till as i did three shops over the weekend this way :A
