got my giftcard with free pamper - picked up 10 of them!!! :rotfl: I'm going to top them up in one transaction, then spend them in #2 transaction!!

*edit*

forgot to say, I searched high and low for them, they were nowhere to be found until I ventured upstairs to the baby section and there they were, hidden on the end of an aisle!

I have read every single page of these threads since December, but this last week I had to hand in my dissertation, so haven't been able to keep up. Just wondered if anyone could let me know whether people are still having problems with the £5 sanctuary voucher and the till saying it has expired? I was wanting to go and try to use that, the Times voucher and get a free bag this afternoon, but want to know whether to expect problems!
Thank you!

I had problems with the £5 voucher 2 days ago. Tried the Times voucher, plus £5 voucher and a free bag but SA said £5 voucher had expired. When I pointed out that it hadnt she said the till must be refusing it as I was already using a Times voucher in the same transaction. So used Times voucher, payed £5.** for cleanser and got a free bag. Then went round again and tried using £5 voucher on its own....till still said expired so eventually got a manual over ride from the SA.
Then went round again and got another free Sanctuary skincare with my second Times voucher

Ah well, I ended up with £37 worth of Sanctuary plus the weekend bag for about £7 in cash....I can live with that

Had a bit of a laugh in one of the Milton Keynes Boots today. I got a new set of parenting vouchers through the post and instead of the slightly rubbish BOGOF on the pregnancy mediterranean range (rubbish as there is nothing worth having in this range) the voucher was for BOGOF on the normal mediterranean range if you bought a full size body butter. I could see on the website that the Med range has 1/3 off at the moment so off I trot to Boots.

I decided on getting 2 body butters as I liked these the best but of course the voucher didn't scan. Cue snotty SA telling me it only works on the pregnancy range as its part of the parenting club offer and therefore it has to be a pregnancy product. I showed her the old voucher and the new voucher so she could see the difference but she wouldn't budge. I was in no rush and don't embarass easily so I suggested she got the manager down to sort this out. She was really reluctant and again argued it must be only the pregnancy range at this point a woman in the queue behind decided to join the debate and pointed out to the SA that it was the 'parenting' club and not a 'pregnancy' club so her argument was rubbish! :rotfl:

SA was still refusing to back down, eventually manager appears and clearly was confused by the voucher and suggested the problem was probably that it had only just come out and therefore wasn't on their system and the fact there was also 1/3 off the range was also confusing things. Anyway he honoured it and was very polite too.

SA looked highly embarassed and suddenly became very helpful - so I got her to go and get me another 3 of the 50p Avent boxes :rotfl:

Haven't had so much fun in ages and now have 2 lovely smelling body butters for £3.99!

Hi, don't know if this offer has been added before but there is a offer on the boots website at the moment that gives you 500 points when you spend £20 or more on selected nappies, wipes and toiletries. Its in the baby section.

I had this happen to me to but the manager was NOT as nice!
I used loads of vouchers from parenting club and mags etc which all went through other than the buy a body butter and get another product free. The manager went in a huff, voided the transactions and put them through again 3 times :eek: and eventually when she could not get it to scan just put it in my bag without it being on the receipt. All this with a que of people tutting behind me :rolleyes:
