Glitch BOOTS Sun Tan Lotion B1G5F!!

carcher

Still working at Wetherby branch too, got 2xF50, 2xF30 and 2xF15 for 5.49.

Sales assistant even said, 'That's a great deal, your getting 3 for 2 and buy 1 get 1 free!'

Congrats and best wishes indeed to those who have enjoyed the 6 for 1 deal, but I don't get the maths. Two offers combined - 2 for 1 AND 3 for 2 is 6 for 1, we are told. I just can't make that add up. 2 for 1 AND 3 for 1 I could understand, but this? You pick up 2, that's £6.99 cos they're BOGOF. Now you can pick up one more and still only pay £6.99 cos of 3 for 2. Or, you pick up 2 and that's £13.98 at £6.99 each, but they're both BOGOF, so you can pick up 2 more and still expect to pay £13.98, and then pick up 2 more because each pair is on 3 for 2, and still pay £13.98. Either way the combination is 3 for 1, not 6 or 1. Having said all that, I don't deny the reports of those who have said 6 for 1 has worked, and I'm sure it's a glitch. It's just not obvious that it arises from the combination of the two deals.
And incidentally, it's not the first time they've done it. Years ago I enjoyed a similar sun cream bargain in Boots, although the maths was comprehensible in my case. So even if this deal is pulled, it may only be a matter of time until the next one.

The way I see the till reading it:

2x 3for2

These 2 'lots' of 3 bottles then being treated as 2 'single items'

B1G1F = price of 1! :-)

Still working today I got 3 x factor 15, 2 x factor 30 and 1 factor 50 for the price of 1 after I got the wrong one's yesterday and had to make some excuse up saying I'd forgotten my purse, my teenage daughter looking so embarrassed giving me the evils! She says she's not coming shopping with me anymore. Told her that's what parents are for !

Just to clarify, the 3 for 2 offer only relates to travel sized goods and the BOGOF to all Soltan,including travel sized.I bought three bottles of kids 50 SPF and three adults 30 SPF for £6.99 this afternoon, winner! The sales assistant did a double take when she was putting it through and frowned, said nothing but I could see she was itching to leave the till and either snap some up or report to manager! Grab it while you can, remember, relates to Soltan miniatures only.

It is the way Boots applies 2 for 1 and 3 for 2 deals

if item is 5.00 then they charge 5.00 twice and refund 5.00 for the free one. (or charge 5.00*3 and refund 5.00 for 3for2)

i.e
5.00
5.00
-5.00
Total 5.00 for BOGOF

what is happening here if you buy six is they charge for 6 items, then refund 3 items on 2for1 and refund 2 items for 3for2 means you only pay for one.

Working is sheffield fargate branch. Quote from shop worker was "this place gets stranger the longer I work here"

Yes worked this afternoon but they only had sp30. Wish I'd thought of mixing them but didn't know if it would work.

WOW, thank you so much..I got 2 lots of 6 in one of our Boots store thanks to David a very helpful assistant. Then I rung my Daughter who also wanted some so went to our bigger store in our shopping centre in Doncaster and 2 assistants were stood discussing it in front of the Soltan products so I asked if the ''offer'' was still on and they said it would be taken off very soon so I bought 12 more for my Daughter and family Hurrahh it's nice to get a bargain :-) :T

It worked for me In my local Charlton se7 store today. I bought 6 soltan once factor 30 and total was £6.99! The lady on the till was a bit miffed but I handed her the money quick and got out!
