Boots Grabbit Bargains..Read first post for offers.

It's not on offer in Doncaster Boots..(The soltan offer for the free face stuff) Also noticed the simple wipes were £5.99 when the boots not too far away is selling them at £4.99
The SA said you are still only paying 99p with the £5 skincare voucher.That's not the point though as other stores I have had it for free...

What a pallava with the Soltan wipe and free gift. To cut a long story short, it did not go through the till so I queried it and after three different people all came up with three different excuses, a supervisor told me that it did not have "BODY" on it and therefore was not included in the offer. Don't know whether it was just a one off for me but thought I would let others know there might be a problem with it, and to check the receipt to see you are not charged for the "free" soltan face stuff.

I tried it at two tills and failed...- maybe they have changed it to exclude the wipes today- sometimes when things like that happen over a weekend it takes a couple of days for them to change the tills

The reason the wipes and another product are not going through is because the wipes and face mask, moisturiser, etc ARE Soltan 'SKINCARE' and not Soltan 'SUNCARE'. The BOGOF is only valid on the sun tan lotions, etc. As explained to me by SA Supervisor this morning. Still I did get a NAKED face wash so all was not in vain. I hope this information helps some people.

Think there's a bit of confusion! The Soltan sun lotion stuff in yellow/orange bottles is BOGOF, but the Soltan self tan stuff had an offer for free items (from a selection of 3) with any soltan self tan product, and this worked with both the tanning wipe and the tan corrector wipe, but it seems that possibly it has been changed on the tills now to exclude the wipes, according to the posts above.

No, there is definately no offers at all with the Soltan Skincare, BOGOF, 3-4-2 or free gift. Myself and SA checked just make sure and clarify the Soltan BOGOF Suncare.

I think the glitch has been fixed - I got 3 on Saturday but it didn't work for me today - so they are all going back. I didn't fancy a row with the SA and the signs are so vague!

On another note, I managed to get the £2.99 Kangol Shower Gel #2 for 45p. It was on the shelf with both prices displayed. I showed the SA and she smiled then removed the 45p sign. I said, surely you have to sell it to me for that price? Her smile turned to a scowl and she said, I'm only going to give you one
Anyone know if she was correct to say I only could take one at the lower price - I didn't push it?

as far as i am aware legally they do not HAVE to sell you any at the price on the shelf edge, something about that being an offer but it can be withdrawn before money exchanges hands. they normally do as a gesture of goodwill cos they don't want to lose your business but at the trade warehouse where i work someone once put a decimal point in the wrong place & a chap wanted us to sell hima pack of 10 things for less than the price of one as that's what the label said. they didn't & he tried getting legal advice apparently & was told we didn't have to give him it at that price. maybe someone who knows that law could help more.

Its the Soltan Self Tan products that has the offers on, Buy a Soltan Self tan body product and get either the Soltan selftan gel/moisturiser/mask free. The bottles are brown, see piccie posted few posts back.
THey are situated seperately to the suncare. Not as good an offer now if the tills have been corrected to not let the freebies thru on buying the tan wipe £1.35 or corrector wipe 99p. Shame, I was gonna go back and get the moisturiser later on this week, Oh well::rolleyes:

No, its not a voucher, just an offer the till recognises, buy a selftan body product from Soltan self tan range and receive a Soltan face selftan product free

Should be labelled on the shelf, but, both stores i went into yesterday, 1 had labelled the shelf but it had been pulled off and was lying on a different shelf, and the 2nd store (bigger store) didnt have it labelled at all, but still went thru fine.
