    Just got back from Leytonstone - made a £8.95 purchase, and no voucher! I asked why, and was told "The till didn't beep telling me to give you one!" I bought no7 stuff and some painkillers, any reason why I wasn't allowed one?

    Got some firming body creme from £12 to £6, and it wasn't meant to be reduced, :D Not that great a shop though :/

    May be something to do with the painkillers? I know they say you don't get the vouchers when you are paying for prescriptions, but also maybe it's because they don't want to encourage people to buy excessive amounts of painkillers :confused:

    Err.. i cant say i've ever heard it bleep to *let* you have one. I know they have to scan a voucher code before they give you it.... i'll pay attention more in future see if it beeps strangely.

    I won't be going back to that store now, should I just email customer services, or take the receipt to another store regardless?

    With regard to Sanctuary Vouchers etc. My shop this morning accepted all vouchers except £2.00 Luxury Bathing, although I didnt realise this until I sat in my car studying my receipt (for which I could do with an A* in Maths sometimes!).

    Also, the £5.00 No7 Parenting voucher worked a treat on the No7 Illuminating Mirror with Free Wrap - one confused SA wanted to check with Supervisor but with the queue behind me backing up she had second thoughts and let it go.

    Desperate for a FCUK Washbag !!! My card not spitting out voucher anymore for it.

    Should say on the till receipt whether the SA was prompted to give you a no7 Voucher.

    Don't you just hate this new policy where you have to exchange there & then! Took back some clothing i'd beengiven as a gift for DD and as had to receipt had to exchange immediately - really puts the pressure on and means no bargain/glitch hunting!

    I've put the Sanctuary w/end bags on one side for my daughters, and don't really want to cut the plastic tags to look for vouchers if they're not there (if you see what I mean).

    Presumably if I can't see a voucher by looking carefully, I've got the version without the voucher?

    I'm pretty sure that's the thing that shows up on the receipt when they scan the piece of card they keep close before they get you a voucher. It's like a cover to the voucher booklet, and they scan it over and over each time a voucher is given to keep tabs on who gives out too many etc.

    It is only when scanned.

    As far as I know you can tell by the code on the cardboard wrapper,if it begins with a 6 it won't have a voucher but if it starts with a 7 it will!
