  • Thank you very much.
    Im off to collect mine today. They had orange bags instore in Bromley. I bought the warming charcoal mask which quite good & the radiant skin exfoilator which is excellent & off course the orange bag.
    Im sorted for pressies


    Typical, I just moved back home from Bromley! :rotfl:
  • Has anyone tried to get the GWP WITHOUT meeting the £10 threshold ? (with or without sale items?) Only reason I ask is because I bought x2 skincare wipes at £1.99 each (half price..would have been £3.99 each) and a travel size moisture £2.50, and the GWP itemised BEFORE the third item went through...........Maybe like the 'Old Days' of Max Factor GWP? Don't actually need to buy anything?!
    Just a thought!
    (also got a few bits from photo accessories...frames, albums, double sided sticky tape for pics...all reduced...some as much 75% AND BOGOF!)

    Partial dispatch order.

    I ordered the Gentle Cream Exfoliator and Cleansing Facial Wash to get my GWP, they have cancelled my Cleansing Facial wash. I'm pretty sure I won't get my GWP with just the one item but they haven't cancelled it along with the other item.

    I'm angry as I don't want points, I want the damn item and free gift. Any suggestions for what I should do?

    I went to collect my order today and I got the GWP even though I only got one of the items so I actually got it for a payment of £2.49, brilliant! :rotfl:

    thanks OP! picked up 4 facial washes and 2 bags today at boots oxford street london. there were plenty of the white facial wash bottles (in a sep section from the sanctuary gift bags) and the SEL said £2.93 (as does the boots website) but there was no sign saying you get a gift bag free on a £10 spend. that's probably why there were plenty of washes & bags.

    went to a self service till and put through 2 washes & a gift bag and got a total to pay of £5.87 plus 20 points (points based on orig price, another glitch!) and the £5 voucher which i used for an olay face wash by paying 99p extra. two of these transactions and i'm sorted for face wash and gifts for a while! felt like taking all the washes (4 remaining on the shelf) but thought i'd leave a few for others seeing as at most boots the facial washes are sold out.

    It was instore! I think the GWP would actually go through the till without buying anything Sanctuary! (on the assumption you have an un-interested S/A!)
