Cheapest way to get the new No7 Jewellery wrap
Buy 2 x No7 suncare items on BOGOF the till recognises the spend as being £15 and so will allow the bag as a free gift. Use £5 No7 voucher and hey presto it costs just £2.50. This must be done by Friday if you are using the No7 voucher.

_________________________________________________________________

I tried to do this today and the SA said I couldnt get a free bag as I hadn't spent enough in "actual cash" (as in the voucher wasn't cash!) so I just bought the 2 No7 products and never got a free bag. I was quite disappointed as I really thought I was right and she was wrong, but I am new to Bootsing and didn't want to make a fuss. Advice please?

The bag should scan for free after the no7 products, as long as their original value is over £15. I always buy a few extra bits to disguise the glitch, and hand over vouchers right at the end (so the free bag is already scanned). Hopefully they have lost track of what you have bought by then anyway.

I wonder if this is another variable glitch? Lots of people, including me have got the facial suncare to work, but as posted earlier I couldn't get the pre-tanning balms to work. We'll just have to hope people post which items work and which don't!

went to Boots, no sign of BOGOF on suncare but didnt have guts to try it. So I bought some micro-dermabrasion exfoliator £9.50 (which I needed) and another lipstick bag £6.50 picked up the free bag/wrap and toddled off to the no7 counter... Lady then said to me "I can do this for you this once but the sale bag isnt included in the offer" so i handed over my £5 voucher and paid £11.00 got 2x £2.50 vouchers back, so not too bad

It sounds like the SA wouldn't allow it, rather than the till. Can you confirm PinkFizz?

Could someone please tell me if I can use acm vouchers in different stores my local doesn't have a acm and how long do they last or is it just date on vouchers? Thanks in advance to everyone who finds these brilliant offers.

Most have the date on which they are printed. In theory they are only valid for that day, but if the SA doesn't check, the till still accepts them (as long as the offer is still available).

I think you can use them in other stores, but I haven't tried in stores that don't have an ACM.

i went today to get the wrap i got a foundation whch i needed £11.50 and a pack of wipes £6 went to the till (i also had loads of other stuff like nappies and baby wipes)
jobsworth on the till wouldn't let me use a £5 off voucher and get the free wrap because the total spend had to be over £15 after discounts and then she said oh you can't have the wrap and use the voucher in one transaction because it's not to be used in conjuction with any other offer.
so i said ok never mind and left all my shopping there at the till, she didn't look very happy, but anyway i walked over to the other boots in the town centre and did the same again and it all went through ok. and the SA was really lovely i might write a nice letter to her manager as she was really pleasant.

That's correct it was the No.7 SA not the till. Why are some SA's so unhelpful??

I'm just back from the bigger Boots near me (toothpaste! lol although my DH just sighed and rolled his eyes skywards when i walked in with 3 big boots bags:o ) I asked a nice, friendly assistant about what I had bought earlier and about not getting the bag and she said she would of tried it for me... so I will know next time who to get served by!

Just got back from boots and have managed to get the free no7 wrap for £2.50 as suggested by bedshaped.

I bought
2 x facial aftersun £7.50 each
- £7.50 bogof
- £5.00 no7 voucher

---

= £2.50 (though actually used 250 points coupon so sort of free!)

SO_ the till does calculate the total spend for the free bag BEFORE any discounts.
BTW- the wrap is beautiful. This might not make it to my presents room (previously drawer, then box, then cupboard.........xx)

Well done Foxy-lady:D I wish I'd saved a 5.00voucher now. I saw the wrap this morning on my way to work. It looks lovely!
