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 :-)

I haven't seen anyone mention those glitching at all so far, so you would want to buy 2 only in one transaction (as they are make-up), then you'd get bogohp, and be able to use the £3 part of the no7 voucher, plus the £3 from the self service till spit voucher.

So that would be £9.95 + £4.97 - £3 - £3 = £8.92.

However, if you're feeling brave you could always try the 3 of them in one transaction and then if the 342 and bogohp doesn't work, you could just say sorry, you picked up the wrong thing (because the more expensive bronzer pallettes at £11.50 each are most definitely glitchy ).

balletshoes, you're welcome and glad you were able to use the glitch!

I went back today for one last shop and got this:

1st time through:
BB cream £12.95
Lash Adapt Mascara £11.00
SS No7 voucher
Both glossy No7 vouchers
£5 off No7 mascara voucher I got in the post

Total paid: -£1.58 (paid nothing, got £1.58 in change)

2nd time through:
BB cream £12.95
Nail polish £6.00
SS No7 voucher
Both glossy No7 vouchers

Total paid: -£0.05

This time, there was a problem with the SS till - it wouldn't accept that I'd put the vouchers through, so I needed the SA to override it. When the purchase finished and it gave me 5p change, he stopped me and got a manager. The manager looked at the receipt for a while and they talked it through, but the manager eventually said, 'I don't know how you got it, but you got it. It's fine.' I think I got a bit lucky there

I'll give it a go tomorrow and try three together and post the results. I found them online under the 3for2 offer. If you click on the item it shows a BOGSHP so it is looking like it could work.

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

So are self service tills not taking vouchers now then?

I think it was just that one store - other shoppers have done the full glitch several times today, with no problems.

magicbucks

they did in the morning and I had no problem at all I did 2 transactions botched up a mascara one but then went in afternoon as was leaving london to go to dentist and not only did they not go in what actuially happened was as follows- you get to the total bit so 3 items with the 342 and the bogohp bit done so 1942 to pay on 3 bb creams and then you are meant to hit coupon and put in the 3 the 5 the ss etc you all know the fdrill except it would not let you do this at all it said please insert card to pay and there was an SA who was pacing up and down and watching everything also when my voucher went in when she tried to do it she opened the machine to take out the voucher from the voucher thing and the whole thing was empty - so i am convinced they have done some override i will test first thing in morning and will also as discussed update you all but its bad form if they have done that

By the way all counters were saying it pharmacy and medicine as well as downstairs but as soon as i old woman SA that I was qwd another voucher as i had paid £5 upstairs and got none she gave a tillspit without question so I figure they are hoping people will be too embarrassed to ask(not me though) so I recommend that if you try waterloo tomorrow and it does not work and you have to pay at counter they do not even question taking eight off I guess its because they know it could be 16

Sorry for long explanation hope it makes sense

yes, as long as you buy a glitchy skincare item too, so the bronzer, BB cream or tinted moisturiser.

Thanks balletshoes. So if I got:
1. 2 x No7 Protect & Perfect Intense Beauty Serum 30ml £23
2. No7 Beautiful Skin BB Cream for Normal / Oily Skin £12.95

would that be £23 / 2 = £11.50 + £23 less £3 voucher less £5 voucher = £26.50?

Thanks

The Pearls work woth both vouchers I had a big bundle of them so I used 1 voucher per pack and they cost me just short of £2 each. I hope that helps

brill smurfette - so with a glossy set of vouchers and a ss tillspit, 3 packs of the bronzing pearls would be free and money off the rest of your shop -

£9.95
£4.97 bogohp
3rd one free on 342
= £14.92
minus £16 in vouchers
= £1.08 off the rest of your shopping.

Loose bronzing pearls are not for me - I keep losing the loose pearls from the pot and they end up trodden into the carpets!

*max*

I just wanted to thank the OP, and all who have helped on this thread. I got my mum 2 of her favourite mascara and 2 bonus tinted moisturisers for less than the full price of 1 mascara!

As she's French and lives in France, I always get the mascara for her, but it's French mother's day soon and she'll be chuffed with her gifts I know!

So thanks everyone! Special thanks to Balletshoes for putting up with my confused questions...lol :T
