What you would of got was 500 points for buying the perfume (500 total not extra) so you get no 'basic'points but had she scanned your voucher for double points you would of got 204 points as well, so 704 in total. I thought this offer had finished though

dont know if this is relevant, but I tried it online and it works..so tested it instore today and it works instore as well!!!

the £5 wys £20 coupons I was sent in the post today can be used, then the balance be paid with points Previously I was told that you had to pay the full balance in points,no coupons could be used as well.....but obviously thats not the case! The SA did say it wouldnt work...but I explained it worked online and asked if she would try...and she was as amazed and happy as me when it worked!!!

This should also apply to any other money off coupons you can use instore

think the SS till will require an SA to authorise the moc.....but if questioned either at SS or on a manned till, just say you ordered online and it worked, s it should work instore and would they at least try it please? Theres nothing on my £5 mocs that say they cant be used to part pay with points!

The SA I used seemed surprised...so I wonder if this is a new part of the points system, or its always done this? I will be making the most of it thats for sure! Have a few points to use up from the perfume glitch :rotfl:

As a CA (we don't have SA's anymore) I know some coupons will and some won't, the only way to know for sure is to try it

This is really interesting. Did you get the SA to scan the coupon before she scanned the perfume, then ask to pay with points?
