  • Does anyone know if you can use someone elses coupons that were sent in the post as it has their name on it?

    My mum has a few I want to use and I have a few i don't want that people on here may be interested in but wasn't sure if it could only work with the corresponding AC.

    Some people have posted about using the £3 professional haircare voucher for Umberto Giannini products. I'm a bit confused as it clearly states on my voucher that it can only be used on shampoos, conditioners and styling products from Toni&Guy, Trevor Sorbie, John Frieda, Mark Hill and Lee Stafford. :confused:
    Time may be a great healer, but it's a lousy beautician.... :/

    the umberto gianni products go through with the voucher it just depends whether you get an SA who is going to look at the voucher or just swipe it through :)

  • hellooo!

    Just about made sense of all this so ventured out and got glossy locks spray and two lip shimmers, plus two botanic gift sets down to £2 plus two free moisturisers, one 100points voucher (forgot to pick up two mags!), meal deal for ds age 3 and two black totes socks £1.50 each - all for a tenner :)

    Tried the No7 eyelash curler and mini trimmer with the vouchers but the SA said no, it doesnt work.

    :)

  • right i was a brave girl today and thought i would give the 6 for 1 suncare items a go, im a bit worried as i caused an uproar between a manager and a no7 sa the other day over the gift bags (no7 sa wouldnt put them though asked for a manager they said if the till says yes :j ) also had another complaining i shouldnt be aloud a 6.99 botanics item for free with a 99p spend, so i took hubby along, i was so nervous and got the following:

    no7 face sun cream F25 - 9.50
    no7 shimmer aftersun - 8.50 (free)
    no7 shimmer aftersun - 8.50 (free)
    no7 face sun cream F15 - 8.50 (free)
    no7 body buffer - 5.50 (free)
    no7 body buffer - 5.50 (free)
    Botanics mens gift set - 2.00
    botanics sculpture cream - 6.99 (free)
    boots vitamins - 1.69

    then used botanics 100 points vouchers, 300 points vitamins voucher, 250 no7 points voucher, 1.00 off boots vitamins, 5.00 no7 voucher

    so costs: 5.21 to pay and 670 points :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

    i was so excited i went to starbucks but just had to go back and got the second time:

    no7 F25 suncream - 12.00
    no7 shimmer F15 - 11.50 (free)
    no7 shimmer F15 - 11.50 (free)
    no7 suncream F15 - 11.50 (free)
    no7 face suncream F15 - 8.50 (free)
    no7 face aftersun - 7.50 (free)
    boots a-z vits - 1.99

    then used bota 300 points vitamins voucher, 250 no7 points voucher, 1.00 off boots vitamins, 5.00 no7 voucher

    so costs: 8.99 to pay and 578 points :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

    Just got in from gathering another haul, need some help here.

    I got 2 facial suncare at £9.50 each
    1 hair spritz £5.50
    1 after sun facial balm £7.50
    1 after sun tan maintainer £9.50
    1 after sun shimmer and soothe £8.50

    Used £5 voucher.

    Plus frizz ease, after voucher cost 79p

    walkers crisps, after voucher 16p

    17 blusher, after voucher £1.79

    Total=£9.24

    Should be £7.24 as £5 voucher off £9.50 equals £4.50.

    Im not complaining as ive saved so much, but cant work out where the extra £2 comes from, can somebody please help me here? Is it because i didnt get 2 or 3 of the same item?

    Thanks in advance:o

    I have managed to use coupons with someone else's name with no problem. I think they all have the same barcode so the name doesn't matter as long as the SA doesn't notice.
