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 had trouble in Manchester today with the £3 voucher from the mag. Managed to find a hand kit and bought some hand soak, and took these and the weekend kit to the till. The coupon would not work so the woman tootled off to find if I had got the right products etc, came back and was about to give a refund, she took the soak off to reduce its price when two women turn up and say the computer would not let me have it cos I had not spend over £10, I explained that the offer was buy two products get the weekend bag free, if they take off the soak then I will be charged for the bag, leaving me worse off than before. They insisted that it was spend £10. Then the other one piped up saying that it was because the voucher said that it could not be used in conjunction with other offers, and that I can not have both offers. I have to have one offer or the other, and I have to decide. It was horrible, having the three of them glaring at me, waiting to decide. So I said I was going to leave them. They were not impressed, and almost escorted me out of the store!

Hope you have better luck where you are.

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

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

What cream gave you the rash? ... i have been using the no7 face wipes and was going to buy a face cream .. i have very sensitive skin so dont want to buy a cream that has caused a reaction. many thanks

Just a quick price update - the No 7 face wipes and eye make up remover now seemed to have increased by 50p and are now at £6.50 - just in case you're thinking of using your vouchers on these.

Yes, pretty much anything, although some people have had problems in the past with phone top ups. Generally though, spend £5 or more on anything in boots and get the voucher.

Except buying the stamp. I tried it and didn't get any voucher. So asked for it and SA said no for buying stamp. Like you can't get nectar points from buying stamp from Sainsbury's.

Thats so nasty of her- i hope she gets a big enormous boil on the end of her nose which decides to stay put for a couple of weeks!
I would try explaining at a another branch or by telephoning and also complaining about that rude managers attitude aswell- afaik they have a policy in which reactions have to be noted in a book and sent to head office and customer has the option to request feedback and should get a refund aswell.Hopefully it will be good service form customer services let us know how you get on xx

From what people have been saying, they've been cracking down on using multiple vouchers/offers in one transaction. In the interests of research, whats the most vouchers anyone has used recently in one transaction?

From the ACM today I had 150 points on sanctuary skincare and 200 points on sanctuary skin care.

Bought two reduced Sanctuary skincare items, total £6.25, got 350 points free bag and a No 7 voucher.

Will also try and see if they have any MF boxes left as need another MF face powder, so will sneak it in with that if need be. Black bag of make up brushes free as I recall, but cant find the page this was on? Will look out for nail varnish as well but those MF girls guard their pitch like wild animals!

Oh and whats the Sanctuary voucher off the acm is it a points one - any good?
