    Fingers crossed I will get there in the morning before they fix this one.
    That's brilliant OP, thank you very much.

    Last time I tried to use the voucher, it gave 25% off one only. I put the rest back.

    The BtC staff in my local high street are meanies.

    Those vouchers usually say something like "25% off a toothbrush", and the till will only take the discount off one, like vfm4mepls says. Still a good deal for one! Of course this voucher might be 25% off as many as you want, so worth a go. Hopefully I'll get chance to pop in today. Thanks OP :)
  • I put mine through in separate transactions! Just go to the self scan tills!

    it will only take it off one purchase - so see if you can get more than one voucher from the ACM, and make your purchases in separate transactions.

    Excellent value at £1.53 - but remember the brush heads can't be replaced, so pay any more than that and it becomes quite an expensive toothbrush.

    Vibrations are much weaker than those on an electric toothbrush, so don't expect the same results.

    This also works on the rest of the Maxwhite range at half price, e.g. Toothpaste reduced from 3.99 to 1.99, is 99p with voucher. I also had a 25% off deodorant, so got a half price Nivea roll on reduced from 2.10 to 1.05, was 52p with voucher.
    This is how it always works with the %off vouchers, so I always try to use them on half price offers :)

    Just seen this but I was in Boots this morning and I only had 10% voucher for toothbrushes but it did take that off the full price.

    My 25% off deodorant voucher was refused by the till as it was already half price but I complained as it didn't say that in the T&Cs so after checking the SA manually adjusted it :-)
  • whenever i try to use my % vouchers off with half price items, they never work :( tried this morning with the shampoo one and was refused!
    Will try again with the toothpaste one
