Has anyone tried the new voucher on R&M make-up brushes or the re-branded No7 accessories yet?

** Edit - and does anyone know if the 250 points R&M voucher will work with make up brushes? It says 'color cosmetic' but some brushes are included in the 3 for 2 on selected cosmetics on .com?

This is why we are all becoming Carol Vordermans! I love this stuff so much, that at first I thought Oh great! :j

I'll buy 3 for 2 Sumptuous Bath Soak, get a GWP, pay with a Perkie, 100 points ACM, 250 points with previous GWP = £14.04 less £5, with 350 points = £5.54 (in Boots logic) for all 3, plus a GWP, and get a Perkie.

Then I thought again. I have 3 x 100 points, 3 x 250 points, and 3 Perkies. So, if I bought each item separately, I would pay £7.02 for each one, less a Perkie, hand over 100 points, plus 250 points, so in Boots logic, each one would cost me minus £1.48!

So I'd be "paying" minus £4.44, and though I wouldn't have a Perkie, we all know they breed like rabbits! :j And I already have loads of GWPs to distribute!

Have decided to ditch my super-duper use-every-voucher including the over £25 one plan. It doesn't work. Remembered now that when I tried to use it, and everything else yesterday, it wouldn't go through and it says in weeny letters "not to be used in conjunction with any other voucher".

So it's fine if you want one item for £25, and don't have any other vouchers (as if that would apply to any of us! :rotfl: ) but if you want several items to reach your total, it's better having small shops, so that you get the Perkie, the Wrinklie and the Hairy every time.

Has anyone used the SS tills and received a t/s that can be used in conjunction with a Perkie please?

DH and I had a super 2 for 1 lunch at Prezzos, and he now wants to have a ride on the DLR tomorrow, so he can see "what they're spending my extra Council Tax money on, at the Olympic site" - he gets very cross about this, and shouts at the TV 'You stupid bunch of bankers!" :mad: :mad: :mad:

Well. I'm already planning a 2 for 1 GBK lunch, and a trip to both branches of Boots!!

Hi SS enjoying ur posts as usual... And agree that we r becoming Carol Vordmans in the process of working how 2 get the best deals possible... quite mathematical isn't it? And who said Bootsing is dull? :rotfl::rotfl: :rotfl:

I suspect not - it sounds like either your advantage card hasn't been recognised by the machine at all when the SA has put it in, or else it's been stopped - did you possibly report your AC lost? If you reported it lost then CS will basically have cancelled it and should have transferred your points onto a new card which should be on it's way to you.
If you dodn't report your card lost then it really does sound like the machine just hasn't recognised your card at all. Either way it might be worth a quick phone call to CS to explain what has happened - they should be able to add the points onto your card over the phone. You could take the receipt into a store with your card, but I do think CS is the better option as I'm fairly certain that unless the receipt has been validated then a store can't do anything with it.
