    Hmm, but loads of people have used the Wet Wipes voucher (not me though - still haven't had it :() and it didn't knock £20 off. :confused:

    I reckon the SA must've mucked up somewhere. Isn't a Bonus Bond some sort of voucher, like a High Street voucher? :confused:

    Yes a bonus bond is like a high street voucher. The sales assistant must of put your voucher through as a bonus bond for some strange reason!

    Boots Nottingham (Broadmarsh) today:

    vouchers from ac machine: 25% off shapers crisps/bars, FREE cooling wet wipe things.

    Got to till with around £35 of stuff (suntan lotion, hydrocortizone cream, hair gel plus relevant offer products etc.etc.) and handed these two vouchers over plus £5 skincare voucher.

    Not sure which one it was but something went through as £20 BONUS BOND, meaning I got £20 off!!! - ended up paying £6.42 for LOADS of stuff!

    Well worth a go!

    Something very similar happened to me last week. I bought £38 worth of goods, and used the following vouchers:
    - £2 photo voucher
    - £5 skincare
    - £16.50 no7 parenting
    - 10 free prints voucher from ACM (worth £1.20 on my order)

    I had already worked out the total should come to about £12 so that I could get another £5 skincare voucher. However, when SA scanned the 10 free prints, one, the till reduced the total by another £9.50, leaving me with just £7.50 to pay. She seemed very confused and didn't know what had happened, but just let it go. I was also very shocked because I had to find something else to buy to get my total back up to £10! :rotfl:

    Have no idea, but all she did was scan the barcodes of what I gave her!

    She seemed very confused too!

    Maybe a till glitch in my particular Boots??

    Maybe, guess we'll never know. :confused: Boots tills are hardly known for being logical :rotfl:

    But well done on your bargain anyway! :D

    They still had quite a few No7 gift packs in London Liverpool Street on Monday, I grabbed a few, but there is no price on them so there will prob be a few left. Also quite a bit of make up in boxes too. Didn't have time to have a rummage through though!

    This is my first grabbit so be nice:

    Soltan self tanning wipes (7.5 ml)

    All soltan self tan is on 1/2 price and all Soltan (suncream and self tan) is on BOGOF so these are down from £1.35 each to 67p for 2. Even better there is a 100 point coupon for them in the advantage card machine (only one per cutomer though - BOO).

    This means they end up paying you 33p to take 2 wipes away :) My sales assistant managed to put them through at 67p each and then do the 1/2 price so I got them for 34p plus the point!!!
  • Does anyone know if these vouchers work with the reduced price gift sets?

    I doubt it as they are 'cosmetics', they do work with the reduced no7 skincare things though.
