Apparantly, from Wed 24th Oct, some of the hair straighteners are going down to half price. I was told the Mark Hill one's they have at £99 will be half price, not sure which other one's though.

I am not up to date with points offers but I think you will only get 1 x £5 voucher per transaction.

You'll get 1x Voucher per order
The mascara's are £10.50 in store
1 x 1000 olay points as offer is for £20+ spend
I don't think they have the No7 gift in store either
500 No7 points not in store

i tried to use my £5 voucher twice today. Once on an electric eyelash curler reduced to £5 which the SA wouldn't even scan to try. And then on a no7 gorgeous eye pallette reduced to £8. She said it doesn't work with reduced stuff or accesories. It is a pity as my DD would have loved either of these. Has anyone been able to use the voucher on reduced NO7 ?

I got the gorgeous eye pallet, it had a clearance sticker for £8 but the voucher wouldn't scan so the kind SA entered it as a £5 Boots voucher, so I was lucky to get it for £3.

I would do this instead.

*Transaction 1*
Olay Serum £22.50
Pay by cash/card and get 1000 points for £20 spend + £5 No7 Voucher

*Transaction 2*
No7 Mascara £10.50
Olay complete care £8
Olay hand cream £6.50
Olay wash £6.50
Pay with £5 No7 Voucher + £26.50 cash/card + ? Total points vouchers from ACM get 1000 olay points + ? Total points from ACM + No7 Voucher + No7 brushes

*Transaction 3*
No7 Eye pencil
Pay by £5 No7 voucher so item is FREE!

Total Points 2000 + 196 on actual spend + ?total points from ACM
Free No7 Eye Pencil and Free No7 makeup brushes. So actual spend is £28 as opposed to £32
Think I have done this right.

Re. buxtonrabbitgreen's question: I asked this on here a few days ago - someone said yes, someone said no, someone said yes but not at the no.7 counter. The no. 7 lady said no to me and I wondered if I could have put my reduced stuff through a normal checkout anyway...

Thanks for the replies. I knew I could rely on you all to give me a hand :beer:

So if I split the order I would still get 2000pts because I have two lots of olay over £20 and but I'd get 2x £5 vouchers instead of 1. Still seems good to me.

Shame about the No7 500pts being online only though. As for the gift I do have other products I could buy I just liked the fact it came in a pretty bag :rotfl:

Kiwi, see my post above your last one. It took me so long to work out that I got left behind!

If you could get one of the parenting vouchers for 500points on Olay then that would be worth it too. Extra £5 on your card for approx £1ish spend on ebay.
