Can someone please help and clarify, braved boots this morning armed with my no7 voucher and acm vouchers and went on the look out and picked up the sun stuff bogof, ended up buying 4 products as the first 2 i picked didnt total £15 as no shelf prices, anyway first it wasnt clear about the lilac bag and the sun stuff but i managed to get nice lady at no 7 to call head office who confirmed i should get it also purchased 6 skin clear mud packs and 2 swim and sun but when i got home i looked at the reciept and tried to tally up the points and it seems that my 150 for £20 spend did go through and the only thing i can think of was the £5 off voucher which took spend to £19 but i thought the vouchers were as good as cash and should therefore qualify for the extra 150 points

I am not too good on the point side of thing GK - but I managed to get Lilac bag in EK store for spending £7.50 on a bogof pre sun range. Just went to the photo counter - woman there was a bit harrassed and didn't question it at all.

I don't think they do count as cash I'm afraid - I think gift voucher do - but not boots own vouchers - some people have found manufacturers coupons count (eg bodyform) were as others have found they haven't been accepted as cash.

I think as a rule of thumb it is better to make sure you pay in actual cash if you want extra points or items

heehee, LIVERBIRD, just read the '£300 TD selling story' on Shop but dont drop! Well done for what you said, I put my 2p worth in too as he/she sounds so arrogant!

Dont forget everyone (if you've not all gone to read the td story) buy Aprils company magasine coupon for Clinique Lip gloss! harrah!

Thanks peeps! By the way, the SA's in my local Boots absolutely love all the creative shopping I do. Makes it a bit easier!! Do find that it is a good idea to build a "relationship" with the SA's!!

lol, this made me giggle, as i have a ''relationship'' with a SA in my local store, coz shes my auntie, he he! obvisely she isnt allowed to serve me tho!

i am sorry for being thick, but i just wanted to know if i bought 6 bodyfrom, which would be roughly £8.52 and then buying a 17 tanning wipe for £1.99 ( and free brush) bringing the total to £10.51

but then using 4 body form vouchers and getting the 2 free (3 for 2)

would i get a £5.00 voucher, or does this just work for certain people?

thanks
sarah

It's hit and miss, smile sweetly at the SA and say - I got one Yesterday when I bought exactly the same..... OK I sometimes works!
