I may go back in with receipts and see if they will add it on - have 4 receipts with no points added, for all my blinkie purchases. Will need to pick the friendliest looking SA for that!!;)

If, like me, you bought items that cost less than a £5 and got them for free, you don't get any points if you use a blinkie. I did 9 such transactions yesterday and got no points.

That's Oxford SA's for you I'm afraid DelaneyJae :rolleyes: I have found most of them are very clued up on the t&c's of vouchers and will refuse to even try to scan them :rolleyes:
I would suggest trying at either the baby till or the pharamcy till upstairs, as the SA's there are usually much friendlier, and are often more willing to try vouchers etc. However, if the points voucher beeps- which I think it sometime does on clearance items- you have no chance of them adding it on manually I'm afraid. Also may help if you have other things in your basket to disguise that kind of glitch. HTH.

Ugh, am annoyed reading some of these posts as I had a right dragon of an SA today. It was my first proper time bootsing. Wanted to get 3 No7 lip and eye sheens (for me, mum and nan) on 342, and use blinkie and 250pts voucher (the items were reduced to £2.83 each). SA said I could only use the blinkie on ONE item (e.g. couldn't combine the 3 x £2.83 and then take the £5 off that), so she wouldn't let me 342 as a result and refused to let me use the 250pts in conjunction with the blinkie.

But it seems that this is what lots of you do alot of the time? I guess I was just really unlucky with the SA I got.

I fancy a trip to Harrow first thing. If I find them, I will buy them, and then we can meet up and sort it out. I will pm you if I find them.

Morning Dollywops, that's very kind of you - someone further up the page mentioned that electricals are excluded from the blinkies. So please don't worry too much. I am just looking at all my options to get free or nearly free stuff using my blinkies (seeing as I got so many on Wednesday!)

Lots of No7 sun protection, F8, F15 & F25. F15 & F25 facial protection. Aftersun in a tube (I bought 3 pumps last week) and 3 No7 body moisturiser.

I did leave some stuff in Waterfields. Maybe you missed my post last week about the No7 sun products being repackaged. Most of it, whatever is left that is, is around the £2.22 figure. The only thing I left was the lip & eyescreen protector at £5.50. I still have a few left from the last time they repackaged when they were only 50p.

I think an SA did override the till and put a 250 points voucher through on a no 7 clearance item- has anyone else done this?

only when the item had been reduced on the SEL and didn't have a blatant CLEARANCE label on it

Good point, mine did not have a clearance sticker on, it was just marked down on the stand.

I've mostly used mine on stuffing costing more than £5, but I have used a couple of them on the No7 Christmas lip gloss (Twinkle) reduced to £4.43 in Cambridge, but I'm sure someone has got one for £2.21 or something like that, so worth keeping an eye out
