I went in with the attitude of getting £40 of free gift vouchers, from the item I wanted, which cost £300
I explained what I wanted to do
bought £300 gift vouchers in three transactions i.e £100 each got £30, then bought the item £300 with gift vouchers got another £10 , left with the comment ringing in my ears, it`s nice to speak/deal with someone who speaks /behave decent,

    So did you just tell her you wanted to buy an item for £400 and she agreed with your plan to buy the vouchers and gave you the 3 x £10? You musta been quite lucky to get someone new cos i remember last time the vouchers were around staff were explicitly warned not to give out the free £10 on voucher purchases.

    But well done to ya ;)

    Yep ,I explained by being polite and courteous,which I think totally threw her

    also when I used these vouchers to buy another item which went over £50, got another voucher!!lol

    normally don`t shop there, but they had good deal on the seven day specials

    good luck to anyone else on this mission
