hello bootsers, I thought I should warn you all about an unwelcome glitch on my receipt. I was checking through it as you do, seeing if i'd missed anything and at the bottom it says ***OFFER POINTS***. Underneath on the left where products are listed it says 603-. On the right where price is listed it has 1.49. Admittedly I'm not very good at bootsing, I'm always mixing my coupons up or forgetting to pick up the extra product but this was a very run of the mill shop. I bought lynx body sprays 342, gillette gels 342 and a stealth razor 1/3 off. To put the total over £25 so i could use my 200 extra points for a £25 shop I bought 2 photo frames at £6 on bogof and used the 300 (?) pts coupon for photo frames, at least i think it was 300 points as i got 500 extra altogether. I wondered if I got charged extra on the photo frames because you can't get a bogof and use a pts coupon at the same time now? It sems very odd to add it on separately. I've done a quick search and couldn't find anything realting to this so I'm very sorry if I'm telling you all old news. I thought you'd want to know before you all got stung. Are these the new tills someone was talking about on page 84? If so, they suck big time

Really? I got benefiber on 342 last week and used a coupon for 100 extra points. Only got 1x 100 points, though, not 3x as with the mouthwash glitch.

Can anyone give me any advice on the best way to do this?

I bought a toy in 342 on .com... never opened it from the grey bag as i knew what it was and havent kept my receipt now when ive gone to wrap it the box is all bumped around, opened and it has a rattle inside of it that shouldnt be there...

Am i best to contact a store or online??

any help appreciated.thanks.

Yeah it must be instore only. It also worked for the large P&P while half price, it's advertised that you get 2 bags free but the till allows 5 to scan in.

Where is it advertised that you get 2 bags free with the half price p and p please? I have ordered 2 of them at 2 different times and have only had 1 gift each time. thanks Taffy

Your guess is as good as mine pcg2001. I got and used the points from the acm. I didn't receive xtra points on top of that. I am guessing I was charged extra because the frames are bogof, although acm voucher says you can only use one voucher on a bogof anyway. It may just be that the way the till receipt comes out the extra charge is below the ***OFFER POINTS*** banner by chance, but there's no obvious reason for the £1.49 charge. Has anyone else had this?

Just been browsing on dotcom and put a rimmel sunshimmer instant tan bronzing mist @4.99 (was 7.99) in my basket to see if I would qualify for the free gift, but it didn't show. Orlaith, would I get the free gift instore with the above product or any other reduced rimmel product that cost 7.99 before it was reduced?

Can anybody tell me if the NO7 GWP scans with No7 gift sets?
I am thinking of buying a few bits tomorrow and was hoping for:
3 giftsets at £20 on 342 = £40
+ 3 GWP
use the £5 parenting voucher = £35 to pay.
I want a lot of other bits of pieces that will 'hide' the other things in my basket and have a great SA who will try scanning everything. I wondered if I am likely to hear the dreaded till beep?

Thank you in advance for your help.

No 7 GWP doesn't work in conjunction with giftsets on the 3 for 2 - either buying them on their own or on 3 for 2 offer.

Till beeps I'm afraid.

Same here. I only got the one also. If you can remember where it was advertised, it would be great.:j

The till wont recognise GWP when paying with points. It says that it is an invalid item so ive never been able to get them when paying with points either unless the SA takes pity on me and pops it in my bag anyway.
