    I think that the glitch works as follows:

    The free gift set is supposed to have a maximum value of £22.00

    When you add 3x £13 Vit C items it should have a value of £39.00

    The difference is £17.00 and it thinks you spending this amount so counts it as part of your £30 spend.

    This is why the minimum spend of £13.00 is working when you have 3x Vit C things in your basket.

    As a result if you have any other combination of gifts then you will have to spend more in order to qualify for the "£30 spent" (for example 3x £10 mascaras = £30, £30-£22=£8, so I would expect a minimum spend of £22.00)

    Haven't had a chance to fully test this but seems to make sense to me!

    Hiya! You are sooooo clever for figuring that out. :beer: Makes it a whole lot easier to benefit from the glitch. :j
    Thank you.
    Thanks also to the Op for pointing out yet another glitch.:) September was supposed to be my 'no spend month' too. :o

    wow that took me an hour to phathom out, you have to put 3 vit c products in your basket and then and only then you get ALL THREE free - that vit c 10ml stuff is great too £39 products free, plus two £10 gift bags for £7 each - great little presents and two half price body butters. thank you!!!

    By the way you can mix and match the vit c products but only have 3. greedy I know

    You should cancel your order.

    Reorder 1x £10 Gift Set (£7 cost) + 1x Half Price Body butter +3 Free Gifts = £13.25 (then do it again to get the same thing for the same price but with twice the freebies!)

    Oh and if anyone is particularly partial to this radiance mix (i understand you only get 10 days worth in a pack?!) then you can effectively buy it for £2.10 a bottle! 4 in the basket, 30% discount - total to pay £9.10 with min £0.73 cashback to come - you could of course get anything with the freebies as long as it is £13 or more BEFORE discount. Almost tempted to get on eBay reselling when you can pickup at 84% off RRP....

    hehe be warned there is no turning back, the Bodyshop glitches are a bit addictive and their stuff is so nice, now all my friends & family get some Bodyshop stuff for xmas & Bday's as well as us having nice things to use in the house,i only use BS make up too, which is very good, love their new foundations btw, and i even use the polynesia monoi mircle oil on my ponies mane's, keeps it in lovely condition :rotfl:
