    hiya just back from hanley boots-the ac machine gave me 5 vouchers for sanctuary so i used 1 yesterday on a reduced menthol scrub at £3.25-minus voucher so 75p and 200 points.Today i went back again and grabbed 2 clearance peeling masks i hid behind some nappies yesterday they were £3.75 so £1.25 with voucher which is fairly reasonable for sanctuary products.paid in 2 transactions because i wanted another voucher so 1st spend was over £5-got a 17 eye pencil at £2.49 and received a free karen walker mini eye pallete from the sa at the till-it even has a limited edition reference number included on a card-really nice.Now i have another voucher to use tomorrow plus 2 ac machine coupons.need 800 points to get the stella perfume after that i am not going into boots for a long time!

    It's not fair! I have been to the ACM every day for the past week, and it refuses to offer any Sanctuary vouchers for either my card or my OH's. Why do you think this is? Do you think if I printed off all the offers I DON'T want, it might give me different ones next time? I've tried different machines too. I wouldn't mind, but I bought 15 (yes you read that right - FIFTEEN) of the £10 sanctuary gift sets before Christmas, so there is definitely a history of Sanctuary purchases on my card.

    Ideas anyone? :confused:

    Wow that was easy. She didn't even ask what product/voucher they were for, but she's added the points and I can get them at the machine :)

    From what you say it seems that the voucher will never scan when you only buy a £1 item. Is that right?

    I just went to Boots and got a No 7 Glycol Peel @ £8.00 (1/2 price) and a free wrap as the till took the full price. I paid with my points and when I asked for a free voucher she said you dont get one of you pay with points. Is this right? I also bought 2 Boots throat lozenges bogof @ £1.35 each and bought my daughter a no 7 eyeshadow and spent £6.34 paid with points and handed over a 100 point voucher for cold items. When I got home I noticed sdhe had not added the points on and again did not give my a new voucher. Anybody know the rules with this one.
    However I love Boots and have a large stash upstairs together with all my Tesco H & b and quit it toiletries.
    I also love MSE!!!

    Sorry but you don't get vouchers or points added when you pay using points.

    Has anyone actually used sanctuarys peeling mask before.Just thought i'd test mine and its like a hard lump inside the box which rattles when i shake it.I tried some on the back of my damp hand and waited 10minutes but no peeling effect-could i take it back it wasn't marked as damaged just clearance
    Love can tame the wildest
