Boots online Glitch - Max Factor

Posts: 3,514 Forumite
With thanks to KamileOlivija on the Mascara thread and also the Discount Codes Board. Tried to get the 3 x mini nail varnishes for 98p and failed, but discovered many many combinations of the MF 3 for 2 products that result in very very cheap Max Factor at Boots .....
Haven't actually worked out the glitch yet, but if you use the code below and add the mini nail varnishes in multiples of three, then the price actually reduces? The code seems to work ad infinitum in tandem with the 3 for 2? Works best on the cheapest items, but felt I had to add some higher end stuff to "disguise" the ridiculously cheap prices to stand more chance of the order being honoured. Also excellent on the False Lash Mascara which is reduced,and discounts £6 for the code and £9 for the reduction AFTER the 3 for 2.
If you can get this to work for you, please remember to thank KamileOlivija on the Discount Codes board as link below.

It says it's a parenting club voucher when it applies - are you in the parenting club? Maybe it only works if you are? I put 3 lip glosses in and they came out at £4.99 each, 3 for £5.98.Recent wins: iPhone 5s, iPad mini, Micro scooter, Commonwealth Games tickets, Magnum of Champagne, Skincare Set, Make up, £250 voucher0

Thanks OP - got 3 of the Nail affinity varnishes and 3 eyeliners delivered to store for £10.98!
Not sure what is happening here but as you say the basket total seems to reduce when you add multiples of 3!0 -
