    Is anyone having trouble with these?


    I had a £1 off pantene one......tried to use it today & the SA *told* me it was out of date. I (politely) pointed out that it said 31st march 09 on the front but the reply was :

    *i know but apparently they have been misprinted and you can't use it. The till says it's expired*

    Now is it grumpy ol' me or is that just plain wrong?

    This was in a store btw that are notorious (and not for the right reasons)......some of you will know the one i mean ;)

    The exact same happened to me this morning but the lovely SA said it was *clearly* still in date so she manually deducted the £1.00 from my bill. Your SA sounds like SHE was the grumpy one, not you :rolleyes:
    You can't control everything in life....... your hair was put on your head to remind you of that :p

  • Just got my mailing and have
    200ts WYS £25
    200pts WYB from the No7 skincare range
    200pts WYB 2 botanics shampoos or conditioners
    160 pts WYB £20 hone top up
    BOGO 1/2 price on sore throat lozenges.
    £2.50 off WYS £10 on healthcare (including nicotine replacement which is really helpful at the minute)

    Now a few quick Q's.

    How exactly does the double points coupon work, never had one before, does it double all you points including the one's you get with vouchers?

    I am going to compile list, then you ladies can help me jiggle it to make the most of it.


    it will only double your standard points..
    e.g.. it goes from 4 points per pound, to 8 points per pound.

    it will not double any promotional points such as pantene etc

    Had a nice shop this evening:

    Total 900 points with a £5.24 spend.

    4 x Pantene Sachets
    1 x No 7 Wipes

    Used 250 voucher that scans as 500 and a blinkie and got a blinkie back.



    Very disappointed that the store I visited this evening (nearest where I work) has hardly any sale stock left, I was banking on them having heaps left (like the store near where I live does) so that at 9am next Wednesday I would visit there via having take things to the Post office for work.........

    Need a plan B i think.

    who thinks the 75% will go online tomorrow early morning? I am not sure whether it is worth setting the alarm, though last year it was on the 9th

    It was the 9th which was a Wed so I think it will be early in the morning.

    Last year my dog needed a wee in the middle of the night so I thought I would see if it was up & my order went through at 4:14 am! Lets hope he needs one tonight!
