Hi all got my replacement AC through today, wahoo!
so put ds and dd some place safe, so i could have a child free boots! (1 with dad and 1 in nursery btw) and headed off to southampton, on ay there COMPLETELY forgot that a brand new mahosive IKEA had just opened yesterday next 2 shopping centre, thought ah busy busy, but no surprisingly quiet quiet!! anyway went to west quay boots got some loreal mens fatigue things at bogohp... got 4 s&g with the plan on doing 1 by 1. gave SA voucher.....'Beeep'..'oh i no it doesnt say but dont think u can use on minis, have to ask manager.... came back 'sorry its fine u can put them all through together!! yippee!!! Oh and ACM gave me four 5 off p&P:j

Then went to high street got 3 x model me with wrinklie and 150 points, each time point voucher beeped, each time got about the same old rubbish excuse; 'oh its cos its reduced' after me saying...but ive done it b4 they manually added on at end.
The last model me experience i was at till waiting to pay when the wait 4 it... CLINIQUE lady came over:eek: and said 'would u like to come over to my till? me: 'ooh um oh er ok yeh thanks', also had p&p lipcare and various vouchers,, when till beeped she on t&g 150 she said
'oh it wont let me do it'.....
me; 'um ive done it b4!'
SA; its not me its the till
Me; Yes BUT ive done it b4
SA; it erm says on computer that u havent met qualifying spend(yeah right!!!) anyway im not suppose to use 'too many' vouchers anyway
I thought what aload of tosh and icould tell she didnt give a cr*p and wasnt gonna do owt about it, It annoys me they make up own rules, but hey ho u win some and you lose some!!:D


Oh and if anyone wants a 5 off p&p voucher please pm me ive got 3 available, if anyone has a spare nappy, baby wipes voucher thatd be cool but not necessesary!

Hi Nuninge, my order's been dispatched but hasn't arrived yet. Snow was pretty bad up here yesterday so hopefully it will be today. Hope they come back on at that price for you

Me too! Not necessarily for the products but the tins are so cute ha ha

When I print the voucher (S&G) the terms and conditions are very faint and hard to read. I don't suppose anyone would be kind enough to send me a link if they have been able to produce a clear copy please.

This post has got me giggling again, not at u mind, Basically i asked my hubby to print of some s&g vouchers, 3 to be precise at work cause printer was not working at home. So lovely hubby did so and left them in kitchen while i was having a nap. Came downstairs and could clearly read the t&c on them, because he had left the printer on default setting and had printed out each voucher blown up to fit an A4 piece of paper:rotfl:. Its gonna put a smile on the Sa faces when i try to use them tomorrow, i am sure they will think im taking the Mikel!:D I was in complete fits, cause to make it worse he has kindly printed them out double sided (to save paper:rotfl:) and printed out at least 10!!
I was laughing that much i nearly had an accident:o. God, i love him!

On topic got 3 olay total effects gradual face tanner thing for £5.50 so 50p each with wrinklies, woohoo!

Ps im actually looking to using my A4 size vouchers, gonna be a real comedy moment, laughing just thinking about it.

Tried to buy another S&G admit it you want me set today with voucher, in the same shop i previously bought the same set and used the same voucher,was refusued, and SA was very rude.
Am just of the phone to customer services, they are putting 500 pts on my AC as a "sorry"!

Also, was told S&G sent out the vouchers without Boots knowing about them, so thats why they don't scan. Boots are working with S&G to sort this, and vouchers should scan on tills next week!

Sorry if someone has already mentioned this as I am only now catching up but if they are really going to be sorted by next week I think it will break the glitch as till will point blank refuse to let the minis go through (I might be completely wrong...I hope so cos I'll be on the SS tills for half the day doing this if they let me ha ha!) so might be best to try and stock up this week instead. I managed to get some today, SA overrode the till each time, receipts don't mention the voucher just say the product and then pricce 20p so they are obviousyl all doing it different ways. Good luck one and all.

Hi Sarnd:hello:
I have read, then re-read Sandra's post, tried to make sense of it, then read yours.
( thanks to lovely SS for trying this out for us)
Correct me if I am wrong but are you suggesting something like the example below:

Buy 1 x P&P serum 50% off @ £12.25p
Pick up 1 x No7 gwp foc
Buy 1 x olay thermal skin polisher @ £7.34p
Buy 1 x U G spa rituals shampoo @ £4.88p
Buy 1 x any item @ 53p (to make the total come to £25.00)

Then when paying use:
1 x 250 extra points wyb any No7 skincare
1 x 150 extra points wyb any UG from ACM
£5 off a £25 spend voucher (please tell me where I can get 1 of these though)
£5 off any P&P skincare from ACM
£5 off wrinklie
£2 off haircare wrinklie

This should leave £7.47 to pay/ 400 extra points and 28 normal points.
I think this the sort of thing you mean.;)
Another option would be to buy a cheaper haircare/ or skincare product and try the S&G £2 off voucher...
But as we know that causes problems this may be easier.:)

THanks jazteddy, thats excatly what I was trying to suggest and you have made it much clearer! I will write down your suggestion when I go out, not mine, as I'll understand yours better
Thanks:T

I printed out quite a few S+G vouchers, but none of the chimpaneeze SA's let me use them round here. And I ain't no super diva like you ladies. If they say no, I can't seem to argue it with them. I just say OK, leave it and buy the other items. I can just imagine telling them to override it cos the SA did that yesterday and get a huge slap across my face. All the SA's in West Yorkshire seem to think they know EVERYTHING! Besides a young lady in this area tried to use Mitchum coupons and almost got arrested cos the manager thought it was some kind of fraud. Boohiss.
