I can't belive i never thought of doing that! Was thinking 'hmm i really like these but not enough to keep spending £8-9ish. "

Baybe11 -as someone kindly told me, find two No7 suntan products (not selftan) at £7.50 or above. Apparently they'll scan through at BOGOF and the free wrap will kick in as well because you spent over £15 and then use your £5 voucher.

So two lots of suntan stuff and a free wrap for £2.50

I'm sure someone might be able to give you other ideas too

YUP this is definatly the cheapest way to get the wrap. If you buy something else for £2.50 ish you get another voucher too

I was wondering if anyone could let me know if the following would work or if not, which bit would make it go wrong!!

Ok, in my store today I saw 2 reduced Sanctuary body washes http://www.boots.com/brandtreatment/product_details_brand_treatment.jsp?productid=1075026&classificationid=1042892 (I think it was these) and they were priced £2.74 each).
I have the £3 off voucher from the magazine and the £2 off a £10 spend from the No7 bag.

If these items were still there tomorrow, if I took them both to the till with the free bag, would it go through as
£2.74
£2.74
£10 bag (free, but till apparently still sees the £10)
- £2 voucher from No7 bag
-£3 voucher from new magazine

= 48p to pay??!!

I know the voucher in the mag says skincare, so I think that's where the problem would be. In which case, could I do the above, but miss out the £3 off voucher, and pay £3.48 for the lot??

I used a voucher today to get the trimmer which was £5.99 for 99p which i think is a complete bargain and a more acceptable price than the original £11.99 which was very hopeful off boots!
Anyway Mum had a reaction to a moisturiser which had given her areally terrible face rash, i took her into boots and explained and they were really really understanding.They filled in a special form which will be sent to head office and they said we will be contacted asap their main concern was that mum had been given medication from her gp for it and been refered to dermatology -it was that severe they refunded the items value onto a giftcard and stressed that she was most welcome to return and ask for feedback in a few days so i am really pleased with that as felt guilty because I had persuaded mum to change mosituriser and this happened.
Just thought id add the sanctuary gift is really lovely and i am really pleased with it -i tried the full size bath foam and relaxing oils this morning which were lovely.

The same thing happened to me I had a face rash, I took it to my local store and saw the manager, she was so rude that she made me cry in the store (just had a new baby so was a bit hormonal), I was so embarressed walking through the store in tears with a newborn baby screaming, my husband told me to e-mail Customer Services and give them her name, i'm waiting to see what their reply will be.

Can someone tell me if the free wrap is going through ok with a total spend of £15 and using the £5 voucher?

Had same snotty sa today (who says you can only have wrap with £20 spend), i made a mistake of picking up 2 sanctuary face masks (i got confused with the hand sachet pack, all i could remember was the price:o ) and she refused to sell them to me even though it was clear it wasnt going to include the free bag, i wasnt demanding the bag anyway. I asked for the manager but she refused. Would be good to prove her wrong with the free wrap, or better still, the bogof on suncare. Have really had enough of being treated like a thief there though. I dont think thieves actually go up to the counter and try to pay for their purchases do they?:eek: Anyway, i really did want the face masks, but guess she wanted them more.:mad:

Im going to buy one of these to get my stress out from horrible sa's in shops, i need something to help me:rotfl:

The boxes were on the MF stand. If you imagine the stand and the SA till/chair is at the end near the wall? Well the other end is kind of rounded rather than square? In the middle of the roundy-bit there were about 8 black boxes.Accessible from both sides of the stand, behind a display of the black set of makeup brushes for £9.99.

The mirror was from White Rose and yes, i did use a £5 voucher on it making it £14.99 plus got a free wrap :-)

Thanks for the info! I did look where the brush sets were and I'm pretty sure there were no boxes there at about 3pm yesterday. Will go in again tomorrow...I'm on a mission for this box now!

Got the mirror this afternoon from White Rose, got wrap with it but paid with points so no new voucher. Anyone else find it annoyingly stupid how they have etched the No 7 logo on the actual mirror...surely they could have put it on the stand :rolleyes:

No sign of the new magazine yet

I managed to get 3 magazines today, and the No7 Mirror is now instock! (j) I'm nervously waiting for my parenting voucher to arrive though so I can get it before it sells out again!

Is there anything you can get for free (or near enough) using the £3 sanctuary voucher from the new magazine?

POS in the stores state spend £15 on No7 for the free wrap.

Yes, but when using the £5 No7 voucher, the SA could argue that you are then only "spending" £10. It definitely should go through when your items total £15, regardless of what money-off vouchers you then use.

No you do not have to spend £20, the sa is wrong... all the store advertising says spend £15 and get a free wrap it doesn't say unless you've got a voucher then it's a £20 spend!!!!!!
Plenty of people have bought suncare (bogof) and got the wrap and used the voucher so I'd go to a different sa
