The No7 mirror is now £9.99???!!! Which store was this? And has anyone else seen them reduced to this?! Maybe I don't need to wait for my parenting voucher to arrive - I'd happily pay £4.99 and use a £5 voucher!

they were £19.99 in my store about 2hrs ago

I've just spoken to Customer Care about returning No7 suncare, and she said yes I could definitely return it, but without a receipt I would not be able to get a refund (not even onto a giftcard), and would have to exchange I'm wanting a No7 mirror, so assuming they are still £19.99 would the following work...

I have 3 x Tan Enhancing Sun spray at £12.50 each. I'm assuming the till will do the BOGOF, so I can't just take two back, as this will come up as £12.50. If I take three, will it come up as £25? (I actually have 4 of these, but I don't think it will be necessary for me to return the 4th). Does that make sense?! Also, do you think they would put the £5.01 change onto a giftcard? Oh, and should I go to the No7 counter (wouldn't normally, but don't want to hold up the big queue at the main desks!)

i have some of my receipts and ALOT of suncare. won't they ask for the free bag back? and as it cost me £2.50 after the no 7 voucher, won't i just get 2.50 back for my 2 7.50 after sun balms.

Noticed some people said Mag voucher cannot be used with any other offer. Others said it did work for them though. Could I get some foot stuff and some skin care --> free bag. And then use the £3 off voucher from mag?

Also, what is the £5 Sanctuary voucher?

I am just itching to go to Boots now (havn't been today :rotfl:) and don't know if I can wait until tomorrow! What if there are no sanctuary vouchers left by then? What if the ACM won't let me print out any more sanctuary points vouchers? What if there are no No7 mirrors left? ahhhhhh!

That's why you don't take the receipt (I have about 10 but they all say I paid £2.50 on them and got a free bag so I'm not keen on waving them about for them to scrutinise).

To get the most money back, I considered taking one suncare item back at a time and exchanging it for something for the same value (that is not on BOGOF), then could take all of the 'new' (unwanted) items back to exchange for what I really want. But I thought this might be playing the system a bit too much and I shouldn't be greedy (and I don't want to arouse too much suspicion).

My AC cards would only let me print 5 vouchers for the 150 points, a week i guess...so i decided to get the
Gentle cream Exfoliator £7.95
Used the £5.00 leaflet voucher
Used the £3.00 Voucher from Mag
Total = They owe me 5p

I took 7 mags and ripped out the vouchers and 7 leaflet vouchers went to the till with 7 of the Cream exfoliators, very nice sa happly put through in seprate transactions even called manager who said yes its ok to give me the 40p:D

Is it only a certain range that lets yo put through 3 and 5 Pound vouchers in one transaction? And does it not say in the T&C of either voucher that they cannot be used in conjunction with any other offers?

Hi all, found two sanctuary toners reduced to £1.50 today so thought I would try them with a free sanctuary bag. Also used the £2 off £10 out of the wrap (even though I wasn't spending £10) which worked, so I only paid £1 for it all!

So I think the £2 off £10 voucher out of the wrap will always work if you are trying to get the free bag, as it classes the £10 bag as part of the bathing range!

Did the bag go trough the till with the reduced items automatically or did SA need to override?
