Boots Grabbit Bargains Part 5

BrokeBrunette

I tried to get a gym ball today but had no luck. The SA was lovely and happily scanned both vouchers (I also bought a couple of other things and kept her talking) but the till didn't like it when she scanned the second voucher. It made a weird beep and the SA said "sorry but it won't take both of these vouchers". I just said I couldn't afford to pay the extra money and she took the ball off my bill. I was really disappointed as I was desperate to get hold of one free. From reading this thread I thought the problem was getting the SA to accept both vouchers, not getting the till to accept them. Has anyone else had this problem?

Did u use the vouchers from the different booklets or did u use two of the same?
They have to be two different ones

All these EA sound really lovely - but I can't find them in any of my local stores!

However, did manage to get the abdominal toner for free - if it's good enough for the till, then the SA should accept it! I gave SA pink and blue tokens, she put the first through and said she didn't think I could use two, I said I thought you could because they were technically different vouchers (and they don't say they can't be used in conjunction with another offer), so she tried (she wasn't being funny about it - she just thought it wouldn't work), but gave me a genuine smile and a "well done" when the second came off too! Did buy a diet coke and a choccy bar, just so I had to hand over some money though, so I didn't feel too scabby! :T

welsh-dragon spot on with your description! I just said I would leave it when they said it would cost me £5. I think everyone who has got one has been very lucky, my advice would be go at the weekend with part time, young staff who aren't sure what they are doing. Regular staff read the vouchers and quite rightly say it is one voucher per transaction.

I used two different ones, well I thought I had I cut one out from each booklet but maybe I muddled them up somehow. Sis and I were going to get one each and she gave up because I was unsuccessful. I'm doubting myself now - damn :mad:
