  • I think that most people with a parenting voucher are saving it to use when the next free gift offer starts on 31st jan. You get a free jewelry bag containing no7 items free with a £15 spend on no7. So if you chose the serum at £16 for example you would get both for free.
    Sorry, not sure if you could use it as well as the £5 at the moment.

    Looks like the NO7 SA is making up her own rules. Since yesterday they've handwritten on the sign next to the purple bags that the £5.00 voucher does not extend to reduced or Christmas items. Ready for a persuasive chat at the till, but not even questioned when the £5 off voucher was handed over. :D

    I've had an SA like that, I take other receipts with it all on to prove its going through the till.

    I wrote a long post last night, with details of all the offers I'd got, but when I pressed the send button a message popped up which read; this thread is now closed:confused:

    Yesterday I did my 1st 6 4 1:j did it again today. I think I will have to have another go tomorrow before reverting back to 3 4 1 as the No7 suncare shelves are pretty empty. I picked up 6x sunlotion @11.50 and 12.50 I think (I've lost the receipt). I wanted some aftersun and pre-holiday body balm, but the No7 Lady was nearby and I didn't want her to see me, so I had to be quick. No time to look properly.

    I've had to start making lists - too much to remember, with all these extra points and money off vouchers. It's all rather complicated for a newbie like me.

    Today, I also bought Boots vapour rub on BOGOF @ 1.79 used 100p voucher from mag.
    Boots vit c @1.75 voucher for 1.00 off from change 1 thing (forgot to use this yesterday as I was chatting to SA) and 300p voucher from Burgundy bag. They paid me 2.25 to take them away. How kind:D

    641 worked well for me this afternoon. I managed to get 2 pre-holiday body buffer, 3 lips and a hair split one (all for £5.50). Then, I took a botanic bar with free eye cream. Put the £3.30 serum at the last item.

    Before I handed my vouchers to a male SA at phamarcy counter. He looked carefully through the screen as the price shown £9.79. I even asked him what went wrong. He said he was so surprised to see the price. So I told him the No7 Suncare item is BOGOF.

    I said my friend went to big Boots in the city centre during her lunch break and showed me her receipt. So I rushed to come to the nearest Boots to get the same bargain as her. In my store, there is no sign of BOGOF of No.7 suncare. But it worked when I did checkout.

    After that I handed him my £8 vouchers for No7 and haircare. He was so amazed that I left the till with paying £1.79 plus extra 100 points of botanics.

    He told me he wished he could keep my reciept of this amazing transaction. But I told him sorry I would like to show my reciept to my friend of how bargain my shopping was. Actually, I didn't want him to know my detail.
  • wouldn't it be nice if they gave you vouchers according to the number of children you had? I'd like three vouchers please!

    I made my list for tomorrow as i am aiming to keep sisters points card saved for xmas and to use 1 card for odd treats for myself now and then in this case i am aiming for a miss dior perfume.By the way i was looking through my recent mailing(the 1 with the double points voucher) and the £3 haircare offer is shown next to a bottle of umberto giannii shampoo so could this mean they forgot to print the name on the voucher& it should scan through-will try and show the pic as evidence!

    transaction - botanics body bar +freebie with 100 points from mag
    2 toni&guy minis + 50 points
    try umberto shine spray-free with haircare£3 + 100 points from ac
    rimmel eye liner £5ish
    complete skincare toner+ ac 100 points= £10ish so free voucher
    £10 spend so 75 points from ac voucher


    transaction 2- vitamins with c1thing £1 off and300 points from g/bag
    use no7 voucher to buy a black eye pencil so £1.75 +250 points voucher to be used
    boots cough thingies so 100 points voucher again+bogof
    so -if i have worked it out right i spend £12ish but get at least 1100 points back plus 1 more voucher and products will be worth about £30ish
    Love can tame the wildest
