I took advantage of the buy 2 get 1 free offer on Mosquito repellent. Now, I had a squirt yesterday evening as I play tennis up until dark and the midges etc., are gunning for me this year at dusk. I seem to be reacting to the Boots Extra Protection Spray, do you think they will let me return them.

yes that's fine - just explain that you had a reaction to it and they will give u a refund

Has anyone found the £1.24 17 nail varnishes, which would be free with the two vouchers (£1 from mag and 50p from ACM)?

I've only seen the £2.49 ones, which would make them 99p, which is cheap, but as I don't actually need any nail polish, I could only justify buying it if it was free... :rotfl:

I didn't even know £1.24 ones existed! :rotfl: I got a £1 voucher from the ACM, so only ended up paying 49p.

I bought 2 Botanics facial products on Saturday, spent £6, and the free pamper pack still didn't work! The SA overrode the till for me, but on the receipt I noticed I was charged £1 for it. I went back to show him, I think he was so fed up of me, he just gave me the money out of the till.


In a separate transaction, I redeemed my no7 parenting voucher for the glycolic peel kit, plus bought a ROC cleanser (7.25) and used the £5 skincare voucher. I was expecting to pay just 2.25 for the cleanser, but I noticed I have been charged 3.64 for the no7 kit. What's going on with their tills?? Why was I charged for the kit?

I had this happen last week too, I bought a no7 item which should have been free with the No7 parenting voucher and also a pack of no7 wipes, using the £5 skincare voucher, which then should have cost £1 and I ended up paying £4 for the no7 item.

There must be something strange going on when both of those vouchers are used in the same transaction or when 2 items which come under the £5 skincare offer are bought in the same transaction.

I have just been to the Woking store - and what a hassle again! Second time of trying to use vouchers from the machine etc and NONE went on. Firstly I bought the self tan wipe (100 points) and this didnt go on. Then I bought huggies wet wipes (150 points) which again didn't go on and then I tried to use the pamper kit voucher. I was there for ages! In the end the points were added manually for the wipes, but I said I didn't want the self tan wipe because she said she would have to refund and put it through separately (and I was on my lunch). They hadn't got a clue about the pamper kit (supposedly!). On a brighter note, I bought 2 lots of Botanics foundation which was reduced to £2.50 but actually went through at £1! they are next to the rimmel stand on the end for anyone who goes to Woking!!!

Anta posted about the £1.24 ones, in a nice post with photos!

Annoying how ACM gives different value vouchers to different people again... :rolleyes:

it was Woking store that I had problems with too. They are lying about the pamper kit - they knew all about on Saturday when I was in there for a good 20 minutes trying to sort it out!!

Thanks for the tip about the Botanics foundation.

It's slightly o/t but be really careful with the glycolic peel, I would advise doing a small patch test for a couple of hours.
I got one which turned me beetroot red and itchy, then my friend tried and found the same (worse for her as she had to go to work!)
