Guys, apologies I'm a bit new to tweaking these things, but I'm trying to buy this:
http://www.boots.com/en/Olay-Complete-Care-Day-Cream-50ml_1066/
i add the voucher in and it doesn't take £5 off, even to the point where I'm about to enter my payment details.

It has accepted the voucher though, just no discount.

Am I doing something wrong? I can't see anything in the terms that say specific Olay products, but I'm probably being a muppet.

Would really appreciate if someone could point out for me?

Many thanks,

Only selected items are in the offer. This item probably isn't.

Usually the voucher is only accepted on specific skincare products, normally the more expensive ones. The links show all the products in the ranges but the voucher won't work on them all, eg: the men's Time Delay is included in the list on Boots own link but the voucher doesn't work on it.

Yes, they generally only work on Regenerist, Definity and Total Effects.

I wish they'd work on the mens stuff too - some of it isn't too bad!

By the way, can someone shed some light on this snowie/skinnie business... I want to know!

Just seen this on Hotukdeals, so i am not the OP


The Olay Definity eye gift box, £24.99 online but scans at £6.49 instore even though SEL shows full price.
It contains a full sized Olay Definity eye illuminator which is currently £24.99 alone.

New skincare voucher out tomorrow (wys £5) for various brands including Olay which may work with this making it even cheaper.

I got this today, its actually scanning at £6.25. I asked the SA to scan the £5 skincare voucher but she read it and said its excludes gift sets so wouldn't even try it.
My store had quite a few of these so I will try again with a different SA on another day.

Following advice I've seen on here - just been on and stocked up on wrinkle cream for my Mum, managed to get all with £5 off :T

Many thanks to those who pointed this out.

By the way - What does OP stand for?

OP= Original poster

or sometimes Other People, depending on context

Not accepting the code for me??

Does anyone know if the voucher can be used on the Nivea Q10 range?

Its worked now, I think it only works on Time Delay and Total.

Thanks

Were these with the olay stuff? Wouldn't mind trying to get one of these with the voucher on the self service tills!
