I got another GWP today, and no voucher in that, either, so that's 4 I have, none with any vouchers. I can't believe it's a 'lucky dip' or that anyone has pinched the vouchers from the packs (since they are kept right next to the No7 SA) so I think they've forgotten to put them in whole batches

Also, every one of mine so far has had the 'Pink Lemonade' lipstick in. I'd have thought I'd have at least one of the other colour by now

I think you're right, and its batches of GWPs going out with no vouchers in.
I got a voucher in mine, and my lippy is plum.

Me thinks there's a little bit of jiggery pokery going on here.;) As OP said, there's never been a GWP or an ordinary item where it's pot luck whether you get a voucher or not.

I think they might have started to put them in whilst packing, perhaps, and then when the Credit Crunch began to bite, and figures were reviewed, it was decided not to include them any more.

For all we know, No 7 staff may have been asked to remove them? Also, OP said they phoned CS who said that some GWPs have them, and others don't. So peeps who haven't got them will be miffed. I've had 3, and one has had a voucher, BF has had 2, and neither have had a voucher.

Ans I seem to remember OP saying that their branch had the items on display from the GWP, along with a 250 points voucher with "SAMPLE" written over it. Why have that when some GWPs don't have a voucher.

Answers please on a postcard. Best suggestion wins a chance to buy a GWP on Fleabay!

Just a random thought here, but I'm just wondering whether the Pink Lemonade ones went out without vouchers, and the Plum ones had vouchers?

In my nearest branch today, I saw that the SA was opening new cardboard boxes next to her on the floor, which she was using to restock the display. Mine today was from one of those new boxes, so it doesn't look as if it's the No7 SAs removing the vouchers

Hi angel69 because i just got the P&P No7 lipcare only for £8.60 and tried to pay with both the ACM and blinke. The SA said the till is asking to give u change for £1.40 (i said to myself Do ask the till is asking u to do). She said today is your lucky day and handed me £1.40 change.

I managed to get 2 P&P lip care today. Combined with a blinkie, takes £1.40 off each shop. I treated myslef to some cream eggs and 2 bottles of Sure body wash at 49p each. Even the No7 SA wash surprised!!:j

Had a few good shops over the past couple of days

Managed to get some batteries for my car key reduced to £1.49 ( from £2.98) and on 342 decided to go back today and get another 3, spotted some HE ( greasy roots shampoo 400ml) on reduced stand for £1.47 thought I would get it price checked ( as am top heavy on conditioners to shampoo ratio)SA did something with the till and said 'nope still £1.47' so told her about them being reduced to 74p in the other store not too far away, so she spoke to another member of staff who said 'lets just scan the barcode then', only been reduced to 37p so picked up another 4! So £5.xx spend, 500 points and a new voucher

Also managed to find some mens reduced gillette for 37p ( shave foam ) and gillette GWP when you get 2 items so 74p for 2 shave foams and little putting kit x

Also had my shopping trip on Wednesday;) ACM machine kind to me and produced the p&p vouchers so got a couple of GWP's

However the bargains of the day were to be had in Superdrug where they had oodles of stuff for 10p each. Me and my friends thought the stuff would have been ideal for baskets:D Shame none of us were making any ~ still didn't stop us though.

So might be worthwhile having a look in superdrug for bargains, they had eyemasks, candles, hair dyes, nail varnish sets, make up brush kits, Brylcreem hair gels to name just a few of the items they had for 10p

Hi, I've noticed they are running the above offer online, does anyone know if this offer is instore too?. If so, is it a good offer if you spend £5 on haircare then use your £2 voucher and get 200 points? Thanks :huh:

This is what you are looking out for..

I saw this today, but it had a full price sel £14.** so I thought I ws looking at the wrong thing. I didn't want to price check another thing again after the Roc micro kit - the SA is great, but even so, it doesn't do to make yourself too noticeble to the SA's ( unless your SandraScarlett of course, :rotfl::T )

Do all of yours have reduced sels? - might have to go back and investigate a bit further cos there were a few left. :cool:
