    But don't you need to spend £10 to get the first 2 £5 vouchers or am I missing something?

    Yes!
    Worked for me this afternoon :) I did try on the ss tills but it beeped and would not let me use 2 skinnies, the SA took me to the proper tills, so I thought the game was up :eek:, but she even scanned my 1 remaining skinnie twice (because one of them was still jammed in the ss till) and then did the points voucher too, no problem! Olay Ole!

    Hi everyone, just back from my holidays, what's happened to CPG's Boots Grabbit thread??? :confused:
    Anyway quickly scanned Sandras post this afternoon and since i had to go and stock up on food anyway, i thought i'd give it a go, first ACM didn't give me voucher but second one did so a MASSIVE thank you Sandra Scarlet. :T:T
    :pwould like to make it known it is not a DHN, she's dancing :p

    If you tell the truth, you don't have to remember anything.:A

    Well, technically, I suppose you do, unless you can find some to womble. If you don't get offered any ACM vouchers for 500 points, then you would only spend £5, to get one voucher.

    Because, don't ask me why, but for some reason, if you submit that voucher, with your item, you get another voucher back, even if you've only paid 86p!! So you could carry on doing this, as many times as you like.

    But if you have printed 5 x 500 points vouchers, giving you a potential £25 in points, it's worth it to get the 2 vouchers to start with IYSWIM. And I'd only ever spend money to get a voucher, on goods that I wanted/used anyway. HTH

    Yes, you do, but it is amazing how quickly I can spend £5 :o.
    I stock up on whatever is BOGOF (mouthwash at the moment) or stuff that is reduced (lots of handwash/shower gels around )
    I also always split my basket into £5 lots.
    Anyone with young children will also find it very easy to spend £5, especially if they are lucky enough to find some of the reduced nappies around or Boots Expert Baby Wipes are BOGOF too.

    Lots of ideas HERE for current boots bargains

    Also, you get a skincare voucher back when you do the Olay Ole even though you are only spending £1.76 :)

    Well done on the glitch, ladies who were lucky enough to get the 500 points acm voucher. Unfortunately, I wasn't one of them - but I do have lots of skinnies to use up on exfoliating-toilet face washes :rotfl:!

    Glad I'm not the only one!!! Been to the ACM 3 times over the past week and still haven't got the Olay one!!:mad: On the brighter side I have got the free Expert gel one and used that yesterday on the 2 for £5 offer paying just £1.02 so I suppose I should be happy with that - just really need to boost my points as I only have £2.99 left on my card!!
    Never mind off on my hols next week and flying from Gatwick - does anyone know if they have an ACM in Gatwick airport?
    TIA...

    Anyway, this is a great glitch, I will be trying it and keeping my fingers crossed!

    Well I'm so glad that you stumbled on this thread, and that you think it is a great glitch. That's why I posted it, so others could benefit from my own good fortune.

    It seems many people have been successful today, and have acquired lots of lovely points, so I hope you can too.

    No, sweetie, it's like a lot of the glitches. Some you win and some you lose. Lots of peeps were posting about getting £5 No 7 vouchers on Grabbit, and I never even got a sniff of one!

    And I've yet to experience the exquisite joy of receiving a Mailing!!! But someone smiled on me this time, and I got 5. I haven't heard of anyone else getting more than 5 - I think that's the limit.

    Or perhaps someone here knows better? ;) I would be thrilled if anyone got, say, 10!!!!!!!!!!
