    No its not as good . You probably don't need 2 cards,(nor the wee shampoo). so you are paying for the £12.99 for '2 gifts' . So it depends on the value of the gifts - both in money and to you - as in if you don't need/use the stuff .
    And I am only saying this because alot of the time you can get 50% 40% or whatever off anyway or they have a promotional product on sale - like the shea at the moment.

    So, its not as good but it is still good - lol. Was ALOT better when the bigger gift sets were in stock !!!

    exactly this morning 2 x £25 gift sets = £50

    2 gift card (pretty much useless really) = £10

    add the delivery £2.99

    £62.99 add the code takes it to 12.99 divide that by 4 (no point counting the free shampoo) makes each item £3.24 no too bad when you look at it that way, take it one step further take the cards off not really gifts you can give as presents are they ......

    so £12.99 divided by 2 for the gift sets makes them £6.49 each :D

    Thats why I like the other glitch I mentioned on page 30 as there are no cards to be purchased making each item usable as a present.

    What do you need/want??
    chances are they have been clearing out this stock - well the gift sets for new Christmas stuff so they won't be back. If you want anything do it now. think 20% quidco ends today? too. And they w code may not be around for too long - not sure how long that's for.

    Ho hum, think I need to cancel my cards /get them lost so I can get new one -would new ones work?

    And am I the only one this has happened to? Or is it because I had a different delivery address (although it was the wrong house - lol)

    Whats exactly happening, I have a rejected order on my account as I didn't put the expiry date.

    Have you tried clearing cookies, have you tried to open a fresh account and start from scratch?

    What do you mean a different delivery address?

    When you visit a site that uses cookies for the first time, a cookie is downloaded onto your PC. The next time you visit that site, your PC checks to see if it has a cookie that is relevant (that is, one containing the site name) and sends the information contained in that cookie back to the site.

    The site then ’knows’ that you have been there before, and in some cases, tailors what pops up on screen to take account of that fact. For instance, it can be helpful to vary content according to whether this is your first ever visit to a site – or your 71st.

    So by clearing them you start a fresh IYKWIM

    No, Ive decided not to do it dallydoolittle. If I do, that will be £30 i'll have spent in the BS which i'd no intentions of spending before i found this thread. I'm happy with my 2 orders @ 7.99 (if they arrive!!) But very well spotted and thanks for sharing....i'm still considering it as I type this!

    Body shop reject cards after two or three orders made on the same day, presumably as damage control on glitches. Your cards will only be blocked by body shop, not other places and the only way to unblock them is to phone the body shop and have them remove the block (or usually wait until the next working business day)

    I wouldn't keep trying with a blocked card because every attempt holds the money from your account even though the order does not go through, alot of us found this out years ago. The money gets released at some point (think it automatically gets released after 2 weeks?) or you can phone them to have your card unblocked but they will look into your account whilst your on the phone :S

    The only way you are going to be able to use a different card would be on a different account otherwise that card subsequently gets blocked too.
