cat I had plenty of 641 lots of suncream the last time round, never got any make-up and it worked fine

i had 6 x suncream for £6-£5 vouch = £1 to pay today,

im sure the 6 4 1 only works on suncream tho, thats why evry1 has such massive stashes!

and isnt the 3 4 2 on all no7 products, incl suncare (except maybe electricals) and thats why suncare can be combined with BOGOF to get 6 4 1?

No it doesnt work if you buy six bottles of suncare. The glitch is there is a bogof on suncare and 3 4 2 on skincar/ cosmetics. So you need to combine these offers to get the 6 4 1.
You need to buy 5 suncare and 1 cosmetic of skincare item.
If you buy 6 suncare items you will only qualify for 3 free items and have 3 to pay for.
EG
5 BOTTLES £6.00 SUNCREAM
1 X WIPES AT £6.50
total £6.50 less £5 voucher = £1.50 spend
You can buy any suncare items you like ( but NOT self tanning ) but you are best sticking to the same price range to pay less .The dearest item wil be what you total will come to .

If you buy 5 suncare and 1 make up/ skincare you will only get 2 x 3for 2 and 2 x bogof. Hence the offer will be 6-4-2. Because there is no BOGOF and 3for2 on skincare and make up

Where as if you buy 6 suncare you get 3 x bogof and 2 x 3for2 leaving you just one item to pay for.

The glitch is that the suncare are on both bogof and 3 for 2.

I cant see how it would but you can tryi t but the last time it only worked for me by combine the 2 offers. Otherwise you could always do the suncream 6 41 . As I understood it and have totally abused it in thep past its the combination of the 2 offers together that makes it work.
At the moment its a bit cimplicated because some items are reduced in stores which might be why people are thinking they are getting 6 41 .In one store I was in the suncare was £3 but marked at £6 .When I bought it total came to £6 minus voucher £1 spend but this was last week . With the combination of the 3 4 2 if the suncare is reduced as well boots will be owing us money !
I found it very easy to get wrong the last time and ended up with a huge reciept when I tried it with6 suncare items only- I would hate for anyone else to have the same problem.
The best way will be tomorrow once the offer offically kicks in tomorrow and then everyone can try it for themselves - whatever way its done im sure we eil come outwinners.

Margy the offers change every wednesday in boots so your best bet would to be to check here tomorrow .Your voucher is valid in any store .There might be a new offer on which is called the 6 41. It worked the last time. What happens is you buy 5 no7 suncare items at the same value and 1 no7 cosmetic .The till ddecusts the suncare at buy on get one free (bogoff) but also deducts the 3 42 offer from the cosmetic purchase. So you then only have one item to pay for , then you can use your £5 voucher to deduct from the final total which should leave you very little to pay.
The other way to use your voucher is on one of the reduced electrical goods like the no7 eyelash curler or face massager ( details on front page ).
Or the best way to really spend it is to get something you need- like face wipes and that you would use at a fraction of the cost.

thank you so much i am going to see if that offer is at boots newcastle you lot are so clever, thanks once again margy

Nope, last time the suncare worked on its own 6 4 1, I bought loads, suncare was on 3 4 2 and bogof at the same time hence the glitch. You could add 1 skincare and take off a suncare if you wanted a skincare item. This worked because the skincare was on 3 4 2, so 3 items 3 4 2 overall and then the suncare cancelled themselves out because they were bogof.

No need to wait, I've done it today. 6 x £6 suncare items - total £6 minus £5 no7 voucher = £1 cash to pay
