    Better luck than me! The £5 discount applies on the order over £35 but it comes off on my £23 order. How did you manage to get the £5 discount applied? Leaving the £5 aside, it does not even apply my Love Your Body card 10% discount either.

    And now it does not accept my payment details - "There has been an issue with your order We have been unable to process your payment." Tried to different cards. Will have to ring them later.
  • Thank you so much OP!

    Managed to get all 3 free gifts, a concealer I've been really wanting to try out (RRP £14) and an old favourite, warming mineral mask (RRP £8) for £17 plus Quidco (hopefully) thanks to post number 49 here http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/showpost.php?p=43360152&postcount=49

    Yay at last after much faffing managed to do it!
    Im sure body shop do these glitches on purpose to entice us to spend our money :wink::wink::wink::rotfl:

    Well it's working with me.I really wish I had the willpower.....the stash of body shop goodies show I haven't!

    Thanks to the op and to all those who have given advice on how to update the basket.
    I'm sure this site makes me spend more than I save :think:

    I give up I now have £128 of goods in my basket but only one free gift. I have tried changing quantities (19 lemon body washes) but it makes no difference. Perhaps body shop just doesn't like me!

    Try clicking on update next to the item in your basket if the items aren't showing as 0.00. I found everything was showing at full price but when I clicked on update the prices on 3 items changed to 0.00.
    Hope this helps.

    Thank you kitkat, that sorted out my order and saved me from pulling more of my hair out!

    Here's a summary of my order:
    I added the free gifts first:
    Coconut shower cream
    Sweet lemon body whip
    Sweet lemon body butter

    Then added:
    Sweet lemon hand care caddy (£15)
    http://www.thebodyshop.co.uk/_en/_gb/catalog/product.aspx?ParentCatCode=C_Gifts&CatCode=C_Gifts_15andunderGifts&prdcode=87262m

    Tea tree body wash (£5)
    http://www.thebodyshop.co.uk/_en/_gb/catalog/product.aspx?ParentCatCode=C_SkinCare&CatCode=C_SkinCare_Cleansers&prdcode=58334m

    Gifts showed as free but then added £5 discount code which removed the free status of two of my free gifts. Clicked on the update button which changed them back to free. Total charge £15.

    Can confirm that even if you get to final checkout page and the price jumps up, if you go back to basket and click ''update'' a few times it should go back to all 3 being free. I paid £15 for all 3 items, a body butter and a body milk. Chuffed :)
