    Was gonna ask about the same thing ;) since I got a mailing voucher for 500 pts for P&P body serum as well, am thinking of getting

    1 P&P Body Serum @ £12.25
    1 GWP free
    Use
    500 pts mailing
    £5 off ACM p&p
    250 pts from GWP

    to pay £7.25 and get 750 pts back and a blinkie

    Or is that too greedy? :rotfl: :rotfl:
    That's not being greedy - it's called playing the Boots game :rotfl:

    Is this the voucher that game with the recent GWP? I used 2 in one day, both on a reduced No7 thingy, and went through fine!

    No it was with the no7 ultimate skincare collection when it was OOTW.
  • Decided as time was really short, I'd just have to go for it, so picked up 10 x S & Gs, removed from my brag book a previous till receipt, so I could show it had been done before, and went to the till where I had .................... no trouble at all!

    The SA explained that if she put them through as 3 for 2, she could only take one coupon, and for the sake of 20p (!) I wasn't prepared to argue! But she was more than happy to do 10 separate transactions, using a coupon each time, which was great.

    We had quite a production line going. I put a £2 coin down, and then arranged each item on top of a coupon. After the SA put the first item through the till, she took out 9 x 20p pieces as change, and just took one after each transaction...

    I laughed when I read this.........as it was more or less my method of purchase too...
    I had a line of S&G minis', with vouchers underneath and my £2 coin on the counter.
    Then realizing I had 3 vouchers left, I asked if I could go and get 3 more, which I did...
    while my purchases were going through the till, as if on a conveyour belt. You've taught us well SS!:rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

    When I tried and failed to use them earlier today in Parkgate Rotherham I was told by SA to try Meadowhall as it is a bigger store. I'm not sure if that is a guarantee they will work there or whether SA was trying to get rid of me, as she wouldn't budge when I politely explained that someone I knew has used them at another store. I'm not going to travel over there in this weather to try.

    As the P&P Body Serum is now half price at £12.25 instore as well as online, has anyone managed to buy just one and get the GWP. :confused:

    Online it is not recognising the full price for the GWP and was wondering if it is instore, as it has in the past.(wishful thinking;) )
    You could always give it a go and then smile innocently that you did not realise that p&p was on 1/2 price if it didn't work, then say you are going to select something else and leg it
    This is a do-it-yourself test for paranoia: you know you've got it when you can't think of anything that's your fault.

    ....and if this were true you could bump it up to £25, use 5 off wys 25 from ACM and 5 off p&p ACM....result pay £2.25 (extreme wishful thinking):D

    Ah but I have £5 off P&P also 500pts wyb No7 P&P body serum, (mailing) and thats not counting the 250pt voucher and my double points coupon which has one more use left. so I think, I will just have to buy one. Nearly forgot my 10% discount too.

    (Think I will just ring them up and ask them to send it me for free:rotfl: :rotfl: )
