    yes, you can get an extra £8 off because the glossy manned till voucher (the one which you can separate) and the self service tillspit voucher are working together in one transaction, so you can get 2 lots of £8 off No7 on the glitchy items if you have the glossy voucher and the tillspit voucher :).

    I didn't have a self service till split voucher - where do I get one of those?

    you spend £4 or more and use a self-service till in Boots to pay for your items. You'll get a self-service tillspit voucher with your receipt (you might also find some ss tillspit vouchers just around the self service tills, lots of people just leave them behind).

    Not as much of a reduction as I'd hoped, but...

    1 tinted moisturiser £11.50
    1 bronzer £11.50
    1 P&P hand cream £10.50

    Total £33.50

    Wanted the hand cream cos I had a 300 pts for any p&p

    SA says only 342 will work as 2 offers can't be combined. - Aye right! ;-)

    Puts 3 items through and surprise both offers worked.
    But she refused to take both glossy vouchers :-(
    I asked her to try but she said she needed manager permission. She asked manager who said NO.

    With 342 saved £10.50
    with BOGOHP saved £5.75
    with 1 glossy saved £5
    Total save £21.25
    So paid £12.25 and got 300 points
    Had a voucher for 250 pts on £25 spend.
    And a Double points for your birthday month
    Altogether 682 points awarded.

    Unfortunately my favourite SA wasn't in today, or I'm sure she'd have tried the £3 voucher.

    So now I need to find SS tills to try the complete glitch.
    Do they have SS tills at Gyle, Edinburgh? I think I noticed them the last time I was there, but not certain.

    hello - sanity check please :o - a glut of glitchy bargains is turning my brain to mush :)

    Am looking at the no 7 exfoliators - £8. If I were to get one of these, BB cream and tinted moisturiser, would this work OK and be 60p? Thanks

    Hi all

    I am going to go in in the morning to waterloo and see if it is still doing the same i cannot believe they have stopped the SS tills taking vouchers and that I had to ask they said they no longer giving out No 7 vouchers at which point i gace a you have got to be kidding me look and got them Anyway I went to my Dentist in Ascot and told her and gave her one of the BB creams (she is lovely) and then to Boots bracknell where the lady scanned the voucher and gave me back the 2 glossy ones . I asked her could have a few more as it was running out tomorrow but knew I was pushing my luck Anyway I will go into waterloo in morning I have till spit and glossy and if tthey have done something to machine so no vouchers can work then Im sorry but thats not good . I am in Central London tomorrow night so will look for ss one there and let you know how that goes

    Thanks so much to all of you for your brilliant advice

    BB cream £12.95
    tinted moisturiser £11.50 (half price £5.75 on bogohp)
    exfoliator free on 342
    = £18.70 minus your 3 vouchers £16 = £2.70 to pay I reckon.

    you could do 2 tinted moisturisers and your exfoliator instead, that would bring the price down to £1.25 to pay.

    its a lot easier when you're sat at home with a calculator ;) - first time I did the mascara and tinted moisturiser one I was stood in front of the SS till for ages, puzzling it out and getting the 3rd skincare item voided because the 342 didn't kick in.
  • I've read back through this thread but am now loosing the plot a bit. Could anyone tell me how much I would end up paying if I just bought 3 of the No7 Perfectly Bronzed Bronzing Pearls at £9.95 each?

    Any help would be much appreciated :-)
