    Help!

    Can someone help me with various combinations of "glitches"

    I am stocking up on items to do a charity hamper...

    I have only dare do the bronze pearls , tinted moisturiser and then a skin care product..

    But I'm now well stocked up on bronzer and tinted moisturiser....

    What other combinations an I have xxx

    there are loads of combinations - ie any 3 different glitchy products (from post 45) in one transaction.

    Or, like you have been doing, any 2 glitchy items from post 45 and one No7 skincare product (skincare product needs to be the cheapest of the 3 to make the most of the glitch)

    Or, one glitchy product and one No7 make-up product, in one transaction. Because you have a glitchy product in there, you can still use your £16 off vouchers in one transaction. It doesn't matter in this case which one is cheapest, as whichever one is cheapest is half price.

    What happens if your skincare item is the dearest of the three items? I would have thought that the skincare would be full price, then one BB half price and the other free? Or does that not work? :-P
    Xx

    you're paying much more if the skincare is the most expensive.

    ie - BB cream £12.95, BB cream £6.47 bogohp, no7 day cream £12.50 free on 342 = £19.42 - £16 vouchers = £3.42 to pay

    but - no7 night cream £13.50, BB cream £12.95 (no bogohp because night cream doesn't count as make-up), BB cream free on 342 = £26.45 - £16 vouchers = £10.45 to pay

    I always use my card... But as the main tills took my vouchers once I don't see the problem doing it again as long as I spend the money needed to get the points/vouchers in the first place.

    Is this still working then?

    I imagine this will be working until 9th July (ie a 4-week run).

    Please bear with me - late to the thread and suffering so badly with hayfever I am finding it really difficult to concentrate on the Boots maths and which products to go for...

    I really like BB creams so would go for 2 of the no7 BB creams and maybe a night cream to get this glitch. have 2 of the no 7 vouchers but no SS till spit as no SS tills in stores near me.

    Do I split the no 7 vouchers I have in half so use basically one and a half of the vouchers and what billshould I then expect/

    Oh lordy, through the sneezes I can see already I'm not making much sense lol, if anyone can give me an idiot's guide that would be fab, otherwise i will give the thread a more concentrated read if/when my brain is in gear again!

    if you have no ss tillspit, you can only use the 2 separate parts of one glossy (ie £3 and £5) in your one transaction.

    That night cream is really nice by the way, I bought some yesterday, its much creamier than the day cream, suits my skin much better.

    It depends what you mean by 'bronzing palette', if you mean either the mosaic or the dual bronzer then yes, if it's another type of bronzer then no, hth.

  • I am confused, never done a boots glitch before.

    If I could confirm, I need purchase an item worth £4 (can this be more than one item, cause i need toothpaste) at a self service till, and I will get a till split (ie a voucher like a receipt with a bar code that will give me £5 off my next shop )

    The spend another £4 at a manned till to get a £3 glossy voucher (what is that ? what does it look like, and whys it called glossy)

    The with my till split and glossy, I buy 3 products listed above at a self service till to get the glitch (but this should produce another £5 off voucher)

    Would that be correct? Can I use my boots card?

    Thanks

    I was going to get that yesterday but it has no anti-ageing effects so chose an eye treatment instead.
