Am hoping to go to Boots tomorrow as I may have finally managed to get a Sunday Times Sanctuary voucher!! :j :j :j

Can anyone please list the items it can be redeemed for as they aren't listed on the first page. Also, do I have to fill in the coupon or can I leave it blank?

Thanks.

Hi Babette, these are listed on the voucher so easy to spot, I can recommend the hot cloth polish - my skin has never looked so good;)

Not sure if my return to Boots was successful or not!

(Kensington High Street branch)

Chickened out of the 641 attempt, no mention of 342 anywhere on No7. The end shelf display in cosmetics had changed, but theyd not put up any prices for items let alone mention of offers. The No7 counter is useless at the best of times. Circled store about 3 times trying to find a SA at counter where I could do a price check for 3 suncare but all queues were long.

No17 brushes were all the new style so would be £4.99

Did get:
2 x suncare (used No7 voucher) = £1 spend
1 x boujous lovely brille lipstick (was 4.95, offer price till today £3.47... used £2 off bourjous product from parenting booklet) = £1.47 spend
1 x sanctuary 24hr moisturiser (used sunday times voucher) = £0.00

also got sarnie & crisps to take over £5.

SA was the old grey haired woman who's a nightmare with vouchers (that scenario when you're in a queue begging not to get *that* SA... and of course they're the one free when it's your turn!). As I'm filling in my details on the SS voucher (sigh!) she's scanned the No7 £5 off voucher and says it doesnt work!!! She tries it again and again, I protest it does work... she uses the excuse it's suncare not cosmetics... I'm pointing that it's on all products and i've used it on electricals... after 4 goes her colleague points out that it did scan first time *forehead slap* panic over!

All the above then came to £4.87... i was in such a fluster i didn't realise it was under a fiver so never got new voucher (when i left shop i saw this on receipt, she'd not scanned the crisps... so they were free in leu of voucher... i give up).

Also got ROC Protient Fortify face & eye pack, reduced from £31.95 to £16... and got the ROC GWP (over £10 spend) too... tried to pay with points in separate transaction (same SA as above... oh dear). Didn't work "because it's reduced" she says. Colleague still earwigging from earier problem says it should, and probably because of the vouchers... i say the vouchers were for separate transaction.... much scrunching for brows.... grey haired SA is adminant it's cause of the reduction.... then other SA points to screen and says "GWP... you cant pay with points for them" (duh me..).

Paid by visa... got voucher for that transaction ... oh, and forgot to mention... after inputting my card pin and everything the dozy mare cancelled the transaction accidentally so had to do it again *another forehead slap*

Phew!

Oh... and for Kensington Branch:

Quite a few ROC items reduced to half price (on small display shelf next to usual ROC display). The gift sets for over £10 spend are ontop of the shelf, only 3 of them left but they're not that great if you're just wanting the freebie.

NO No7 wraps at all in entire store. All mention of the offer removed... blank spaces, no signs for next (?) offer. Suncare still BOGOF only (the grey haired woman i had trouble with accidentally scanned the 2nd suncare twice so had to void one... and it didnt flash up linksave)

NO sanctuary bags anymore. posters all down

Both ACM downstairs were out of order, and the one upstairs had run out of paper (or was printing my vouchers into the machine instead of feeding them out of the slot!)

Im no longer a Bootser. Handed back my ac earlier and told them i will never shop there again.

I went in this morning, only to get some aqueous cream for dd and thought i'd ask at the same time about not getting ac points for Clinique purchases. Before anyone flames me, i was only asking, i wasnt stamping feet and demanding they put the points on. The pharmacy sa didnt know so i said its ok, i'll ring cs when i get home. No. She ran off with my reciept and ac and came back with an Estee Lauder sa.

This is where it gets hairy. She accused me of stealing £150 of Clinique items to get 750 points on my ac (if anyone can work that out, i'll gladly post my remaining vouchers out to them), i was trying to explain that i had a voucher for the 750 points but no. My dh has a brain injury and she started on him too demanding that he must understand what she was saying (i dont even think the other sa's understood), i did ask her to stop accusing me as i had a very stressful day yesterday but she wouldnt stop. So i asked to see the manager who sided with her staff. So i just gave back my card and walked out.

My mum cant even understand it, if i stole stuff, why would i have points on my card? Ive never stolen anything in my life and im so embarassed and ashamed now, to be accused like that. My mum is :T that i gave my card back even though it has roughly £65 on it. But i have nothing to hide, im waiting for cs to ring me back and have told them to call the police, they are most welcome to search my house for the £150 of items i apparently stole.

I feel distraught. Sorry. I wasnt even going to tell them, nor anyone actually, about my day yesterday, its my own business. But they must not treat customers like this.

If anyone wants my vouchers, just pm me, its the remaining vouchers from the 'as one of our best customers' valid for april. Dont want to throw them out.

And for 750 points, i would've stole £187.50. But try as i might, i just cant work it out.

Edited because forgot to add, the Clinique ac machine isnt working.

Bah, no joy today. Finally got my sunday times voucher (emailed them last week and said that my paper had been missing the style supplement, and they posted it to me), and went to the branch on Fleet St, which had the skincare, but not the sanctuary bags. Will try the Kingsway branch later; I've seen them in the Strand branch, but they don't have any posters/info about being a GWP and the staff there have been funny about vouchers in the past. I know that the bag is 'while stocks last' but when does it officially end?
