    I never have any luck. I went to a SS till in Metro Centre Gateshead armed with 3 BB creams, a till spit voucher for £8 and a manned till £5 and £3 voucher. Scanned the 3 BB creams and the £8 till spit and it didn't work and the SA came over. He did an override and put till spit through as £5 discount then wouldn't let me scan the £5 voucher - only the £3 voucher. Total came to about £12. I wasn't going to pay that when I know others have managed to use vouchers totalling £16 so I said he'd got me very confused and could I just have all my vouchers back so I could start again.

    Can anyone tell me how I can get the till spit to work when it doesn't scan? Is there a way I can key in the bar code myself?

    Someone please help. :(

    LOVE this thread! I am going to be running a stall at a fundraiser in August that my friend is organising, so these will be perfect to resell and get more for the charity!

    I got one of each in 2 transactions for £3.42, then I topped it up to £5 to get another voucher xx

    kadison in May when these were glitching the same way, you didn't need to top up to £5 at ss tills to get another tillspit for £8 off - it gave you one automatically while buying a glitchy product (or 3).

    The minimum spend at manned tills is £4 to get a voucher, same at ss tills on your first non-NO7 shop.
  • Does anyone know if Team Valley Gateshead store has SS tills?

    Ah ok thanks, I will top up to £4 anyway just in case it decides to mess about!

    I got the No 7 Triple protection Tinted Moisturiser @ £11.50
    1 Triple bronzer @ £11.50 and Colour Calming Primer @ £11.75.

    It took both the till spit and the glossy ( both parts) so gave me 2 x £3.00 discount and 2 x £5.00 discount. It also gave me 50% off on the Bronzer. So I paid £11.75 altogether. Was the primer the wrong item?
    I also picked up 4 till spits aswell!!!.

    your problem there is that the primer isn't the cheapest of your 3 items, I'm not sure if the primer is skincare or make-up, and the primer isn't glitchy. If the primer had been the cheapest of your 3 items it would have cost you in the region of £3.42 (ie if you'd bought 2 glitchy BB creams at £12.95 each and your £11.75 primer, as the primer would have been the free item on the 342 - if its counted as skincare, which I'm not convinced it is?)

    was it the primer that you were interested in most? If so, and if its make-up instead of skincare, team it with one glitchy item (ie the bronzing pearls at £9.95). Then I think it will be half price bronzing pearls on the make-up bogohp £4.97, plus your primer £11.75 = £16.72, and then you can use your £16 worth of No7 vouchers because the bronzing pearls are counting as both skincare and make-up, so you'd have only 72p to pay.

    It looks like because the Primer was the most expensive item and it isn't part of both the skincare and make-up categories this would have been the 'lead' item that you would get charged for.

    Then 1 of the others would have been the free one, so before putting through the vouchers your final bill would have been £23.00. All the voucher should still have worked though, subtracting £16.00 from the £23.00 and leaving £7.00 to pay. More confusingly though, is that you also got a 50% discount on the bronzer (so the BOGOHP on the 2 make also kicked in), which should have made the final total £1.25.

    I did exactly the same shop the first time round the vouchers were available and my bill was £1.25.

    Can anyone work out what happened? :o
