If there are no SS tills can you not just go in twice, 2 seperate transactions both with a Gift? (and spend an extra £5 on each order to get the points offer??)
Or is this me being boots-naive?

You can stand at a manned till, and do as many separate transactions as you want!! But Tara wanted to know if she could get 2 x GWPs on a single item costing £45.

It's all about getting glitches. For example, there are electrical No 7 items, like the Palm Massager, which are half price, but the till "sees" the original price, and even though your transaction is under £22 (£12.49), you get a GWP as well.

If you do this on dotcom, you not only get the GWP, but if you're over 60, it deducts your 10% from the original amount!:j So you pay £12.49, less £2.50 discount (£9.99), less the 250 points in the GWP, and it's only cost, in Boots Logic, £7.49. HTH

Why, its no different to promotions aimed at parenting club members for example.

I think its a great thing tbh, it really helps out my mum who buys lots of boots own brand toiletries, pain relief, vitamins etc while they're on offer as without that she wouldn't be able to afford to shop in boots.

I can take advantage of lots of glitches/offers throughout the year that are open to everyone without begrudging the few that I am not entitled to.

I am trying to get 2 GWPs on a £45 spend lol (one per £22 spent on No7). Also, the £50 points offer will be over by tomorrow. Crafty Mr Boots!!!!

What I'm tring to say is if it's going on full price, after this wonderful brilliant, super-bargain OOTW (I'm being sarcastic), then the till will "see" the full price, and in theory, you should be able to get it for £45 and 4 x GWPs!!

Last year I bought the magnifying mirror, using an SS till, when it went down to £19, for £17.10 (after over 60s discount) and got 2 x GWPs!! HTH

That would be absolutely fab, but we all know that this set will never be sold at £91, it was only created for this OOTW. Therefore, the price will likely be programmed into the tills at £45 so I reckon that 2 GWPs is the most I will get. But I might give it a go.

I am encouraged by your success with the mirror!!!

Agree with c l a i r e about the over 60s, I don't begrudge them any good offers either as the glitches are so good for all of us!!! :T

I lurve Bootsing, ah the joy of getting one's own back on companies!

Well, even with 10% discount and 2 x GWPs, I'm giving it a miss. Good luck though to all who are hoping to get it. :beer:

Had a walk in my local today at 9ish but there wasn't any OOTW out yet. Not expecting it to sell out any time soon anyways; perhaps there may be some new codes popping up to buy online.

My local Boots have the OOTW out, the shelf was full and they admitted nobody had bought one yet.

I also noticed that the Strictly Make-up Case was £15 off and they've reduced the Fearne Hat Box. Plus they're back on 3 for 2.

The Frontcover To Go is still a 1/3 off and 3 for 2 so obviously their OOTW aren't selling as well as they hoped and they're having to reduce them. I really think Boots have boobed big style this year with their OOTW, I can see lots of things being left for the sale.
