This was the second time I bought the glyco stuff.
Put through Glyco Peel - £17.60
Line Lift £12.95
Mask £11.30 (free and showing as free)

Put through the line lift voucher and said £17.60 to pay.
Put through the peel half price voucher said £8.80 to pay.
Then put through a £5 No7 voucher and said £6.75 to pay.
Till receipt shows that it had put £2.95 back on the line lift!!
Then took the £5 voucher off.
Don't understand why but seems that is how it goes through. Still shows saving of £34.85 on the receipt so not bad for £6.75.

Cheers! I think it's brilliant but need to get mascara so was wondering if I could do something similar... I'm going to give it a go as it's a lot cheaper than buying a mascara on it's own! Wonder if it will work at manned tills. ALso wondering if I add teh highlights powder and voucher then that would be free too, right?

At the end of the day say to the SA - why is the acm giving me these vouchers if I can't use them? Am sure it is one of these ones that will disappear again after today so make sure you print your limit off.

Sorry if it's already been mentioned, but BigBargainBrummy - how many times did the ACM let you print out the No 7 Vouchers? Thanks, and well done on your glitch find x

OMG - I don't even need any of this stuff, and I'm afraid that I won't get these acm vouchers :rotfl: . DD is going to hate me, as I'm dragging her off to Boots as soon as I pick her up from school - my stomach will be doing butterflies as I go in the door !!

I got the ACM No7 vouchers (half price glycolic peel, free highlighter, free line lift) - unfortunately don't have a store with SS tills near me, so had to use a manned till. The free products did not go through automatically - but the lovely SA did an override. I bought the glycolic peel, 2 x wipes (one free on the 3 for 2 offer), free highlighter and free line lift for £10.20 using a perkie. Not as good as others, but I need the wipes for holidays so am pleased anyway!

Hmm, now I'm concerned about trying this myself. If the free offers had to be added by an SA for you, but went through fine on an SS till for someone else, I wonder if it works differently at different stores?

I got 3 of the glyco peel vouchers. 2 eye ones and 1 powder one.

I was using mine in addition to the 3 for 2 which had already kicked in. BBB got the free products as part of the 3 for 2, which made the half price glycolic peel better than free, if I understand correctly. Maybe that makes a difference to how the till reads the transaction??

Could the vochers be used as 4 for 1 as the Powder is free or am i just being silly?

I'm hoping for 4 41 and am going to try it with £5 voucher too
but think that the till won't read it this way after all.
