Has anyone used the £2.50 skincare voucher on reduced items.I have used it in the past on sanctuary but was turned down today which i found strange and its unfair because theres hardly any facial items available from the range and when they are voucher not allowed.I did ring customer services but the lady was very adamant that clearance items are excluded.I didn't even get the 342 offer on 2 warming masks and a rosemary&mint mask.I think they read this website now-she said she was going to note this down and point it out at the next meeting that all stores should exclude reduced items from promotions

I tried to use the 2.50 vouchers loads of times on reduced stuff, at my local store, but each time (went to a different SA every time!) I was told the same thing - they cannot be used against reduced stock. Yesterday however, I paid at the pharmacy. I bought loads of Botanics stuff on sale and the vouchers were accepted:j from now on, I'm paying at the pharmacy:D
I could've earned lots of extra points, If I'd got more magazines, but I feel bad enough about the 5 magazines I've had already, I don't want to waste any more.

If you have any Men's vouchers left, look out for the cleansing scrub, reduced to 2.12 also, daily moisture cream, reduced to 2.82

I'd agree about using Pharmacy staff, at my local Reading store they seem to know what they are doing, unlike some of the general till point staff!

Wandered along past the Max Factor area silently cursing the lack of MF boxes... when all of a sudden, there they were! 3 of them on a top shelf and a stack in the corner! hurrah!!! Hovered around, picked up a box (they only had the black ones), and then wondered what else to get so it wouldn't be suspicious that i had something free. The ACM gave me a triple points voucher on a muffin :rotfl: Decided on a BOGOF No7 suncare treat, £7.50 spent plus a wrap... then passed the baskets again and noticed that there was a scrunched up voucher trapped 3 layers down! One very un-subtle wrestling match with the baskets and I'd freed it, off to get some Nivea shaving foam... disaster...! shelf bare! Consoled myself with thought of free botanics lip balm using the "female" voucher, all gone too! lol there must be a few MSE'ers around


Edit: Forgot to say, it's the Kensington High Street (main branch) of Boots with the MF boxes - woohoo!

COOkie, please leave one for me:D I might not be able to get down there until Saturday. Can you hide one in an obscure corner somewhere? I'll collect it at the weekend:rotfl:

I was just wondering (if I ever manage to find the MF boxes!) if you think you could get these free if you buy stuff with boots points?!

Ok I am new to bootsing but have had my advantage card for 4 weeks now, however I still have had no offers from the AC machine, only one I keep getting is some competition, is this right?
I have built up £28 in points on it (although I missed out on another £1.5o today as forgot to hand it over and did not realise until I was home)

It worked for me the other day - maybe the SA overrode the till - i'm not sure I was too busy trying to look :cool: . But i got a MF lip gloss reduced from £6.99 to £3.49 and a free MF box and paid with points (some of the many 100 Botanics ones I've accrued!).
