This is continuation of Boots Grabbit Part 51
Updated - 3 April 2009

This post contains all the updated glitches, offers etc and post 2 contains Q&A so please read the first and second posts of this thread for any answers you need. This will save a lot of duplicate questions on this thread.

All Boots seems to have different policies. What happens in one does not necessarily happen in another. :mad:

Successfully getting some of the better glitches often depends on if the SA you pick is willing to try. Its sometimes sensible to buy some other things to 'disguise' your bargain. If the SA won't put it through, please don't make a fuss - they are only doing their job. Just try again another SA / store / day. It is a good idea to try and make a friend in a SA if possible.

Yes! The official word from customer services is "I can confirm that you are able to use more than one voucher at a time per transaction.

Thanks for the new thread CPG Don't get chance to get on much these days always easier trying to follow a New thread

Did i read somewhere no more no 7 GWps promotion pulled early ?

polesana

Has anyone used the perkie on Men's No7? Is it accepted automatically or would I have to find a nice SA willing to override till?
Also does it work on all products or only certain ones?

Thanks P

They've started 3 for 2 early as a lot of store shave run out of gwps, if you're lucky though your store may have them.
I was just thinking if the promotion has ended now will they go through as 0 so you could get one with any no 7 purchase? Or not as the promotion wasn't technically supposed to end yet?

The till would almost surely still be programmed with the original end date for the promotion as it sounds like it's still on for those stores that have stock left.

I think that would be the case too - hasn't the current No7 GWP date already been extended once, it seems to have been around for ages.
