Just out of interest, how many Sanctuary bags did you all manage to get?

I have 6 :T

None!!
At the moment I just cant justify spending sanctuary prices on 2 things I dont really NEED, and SA refused my attempt yesterday at getting the bag..... I picked up facewipes and a body wash and tried using a '£5 off santuary skincare' voucher for the facewipes. She was having none of it. You cant use the voucher AND have the bag free she said. :sad:

Picked up a MF in Leeds CIty Centrte yesterday in order to get over disappointment of no Sanctuary bags. Went upstairs to pay with a few other things to disguise it and got refused MF box as no MF purchase - fair enough. Had a 250 points voucher for men's Botanics and was using with a reduced Botanics product and SA gleefully told me it was out of date and I couldn't use it. It wasn't out of date at all just not printed out on that day. Anyway, didn't get an apology just a reluctant huff and my goods practically thrown at me! How rude! You'd think she was having to pay the £2.50 to my advantage card herself!
Anyway, a question for you lovely Bootsers - my mum has printed off some vouchers from the ACM that she doesn't want - can I use them with my card or is it card specific?

Leeds seems to have a lot of rude staff on a power trip.

My daughter (age 18) has been upset by them many times. I do hate it when they think they can speak to younger people in an offhand way. Makes me feel like going in there and giving them a peace of my mind. Snotty c*ws!!

I only managed to get 2 sanctuary bags. I did only need 1 but as i had to order it online, It didnt seem fair to pay p&p for just 1 so I made it 2 :rotfl:
Given 1 to my Auntie for he 50th and 1 is going away for christmas/birthdays

Was the bags supposed to contain vouchers?? as neither of mine did

Have a read of my post further up the page... you can actually get paid more in points than you spend in cash getting the SS deals. :T
On several transactions I have paid 45p and received 150pts for 2 SS products + bag.
The SS skincare vouchers WILL NOT work with the SS facial wipes... avoid, avoid, avoid! Try SS facial wash or toner @ £5.95
The SS skincare vouchers WILL work in conjunction with the bag offer. If they tell you otherwise, they are wrong, choose a different SA and try again.

According to CS they all should have had vouchers in, but many haven't.
I've had 7 bags, all coded 7011A on the back... 4 had vouchers, 3 didn't

Is it worth emailing customer services???

Well... I rang CS after getting my very first SS bag and told them my friend's one had a voucher in but mine didn't, and they cheerfully added 300pts to my AC card :T . The guy I spoke to had no idea whether they *should* have them in, although someone earlier on the thread was definitely told by CS that they should (Possibly they don't know either way, lol).
I'm not going to ring back about the further two bags I got without vouchers, as I bought them knowing they didn't have one in, and don't want to get flagged as a constant complainer, lol.

In a nutshell, I'd say yes, definately worth an email, just say your friend's bags had vouchers and yours didn't, so you just wondered, etc!

Do you have to spend a certain amount in the store to profit from the Triple Points weekend?
