    Elite Chinese whispers. AAU said 'from me too' when Zippy wished me happy birthday, that somehow turned into 'for me too' :D:rotfl:

    Morning all. Off to T's soon - would someone mind checking my maths?
    Would I be right in thinking that you could get 10 bottles of the Finest Grenache Marsanne wine that is in the 2 for £10 offer for a boosted £15 of vouchers and about £1.17 in cash?
    £7.49 x 10 = £74.90
    minus 25% discount = £56.175
    minus 2 for £10 offer (£5 per 2 bottles = £25 discount) = £31.175
    ie £15 of tokens boosted to £30 and the balance in cash?
    Thanks for your help in spotting errors xxx
    ps happy birthday to the birthday boys and girls x

    Wouldn't you need to buy 12 bottles as it's 25% of 6 bottles.

    The 25% off is on 6 bottles or more, not multiples of 6. So as long as you buy a minimum of 6 it doesn't matter HTH
    Back from T's - it did work as planned :j:beer:. In fact I ended up exchanging £30 of CC vouchers and getting 20 bottles of wine. Paid £2.xx cash and received a £5 HH :j
    The only hitch was that the till did not recognise the CC boost vouchers which I had only just exchanged instore, so I had to return to CS to have them input manually. Was scared of having to go back to scary CS lady who never cracks a smile, but she did put them through as she had just processed the vouchers for me herself a few minutes previously, and I clearly had a trolley full of Finest vino. Not sure if anyone else has had probs using the Finest wine boost vouchers? Next challenge- make them last til Xmas :A
