Can anyone confirm if this works in express shops? Thanks

I think theres no confirmation yet, with mixed results from various stores. I tried my extra and it didn't work and other have shown epic fails at other extras... Sorry not a wide rule, maybe worth trying.

My extra also had tags on my batteries

didnt work for me in my local extra, just got 3 to try, sel said B1G1F, went through SS receipt says 2 free so cost me £3.50 for 3 packs

thinking about it on the plus side, if i had bought just 2 packs the B1G1F would not have worked, could get DTD so free batteries, obviously not as good as being paid to take them away

6 is the minimum number you need to buy to get both offers to kick in. Just buying 3 means you don't get the B1G1F offer as you need multiples of 2 for that.

so 6 packs means you get the buy one get two free offer (as you bought 3 twice) and also the buy 1 get 1 free offer (as you've bought 2 three times). Hope that makes sense!

But 3 should give: 1 b1g1f because you've bought 2 and b1g2f because you've bought 3.

It definitely seems multiples of 6 that work, but doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason as to why.
