Receive 250 points when you buy Umberto Giannini shampoo and conditioner.

Is there really a glitch, whereby the till gives twice the points when buying 2 items and you only pay £6 for the 2?

Thanks.

Dont know about the glitch, but i think the Umberto Giannini is 2 for £6 just now.
Regarding the points, perhaps someone else can help out there.

someone reported this a few posts ago, the problem is that normally the till will not accept 2 vocuhers for the same thing, so if you use 2x acm UG vouchers, doesn't the till refuse one??
I'm asking to see if anyone has tried this one. TIA

Yes thats basically all there was when I went in yesterday afternoon.

Highlighter and 3 for 2

I've done this twice with no problem at all, although not this week! I took the items to the main tills each time, and had other products as well. I didn't do it deliberately the first time, as I wanted the mascara and foundation anyway.

Highlighter and sale items
Done once, the till beeped, but the sales assistant said that she would take off the price of the highlighter manually as the voucher clearly said with any No 7 product.

I do wish that Boots would think about the terms and conditions that they print on their vouchers, and not try and change them at the tills. I'm prepared to stick my ground and politely request that they stick to the deal as offered. I don't go over the top, and I don't try adding vouchers which say that they can't be combined, for the same product.I have even asked on occasions, and the sales assistants have said that if they are offers for different products, that is fine, but not say three vouchers for something free, money off and points for the same item! I do think that if they print a voucher that clearly says that the item is free with any No7 product and no mention of the words 'not with sale items' or 'not with any other offer' then they should stick to that!

Should i complain?
my order has arrived today and items have been cancelled even though yesturday i was told it was being dispatched in full, everything is covered in a layer of grime/black dust, One of the toys (piggy bank) is quite badly scartched and one of the gift sets has leaked over everything else. Would you complain?

Definately!!

I'd give them a call and explain everything. I expect they'll offer you a partial refund - or at least they should do.

good luck

I tried it today and both vouchers won't work so i left it, the sa said that only on voucher can be used per transaction, and it just bleeped when she tried.

Basically if you spend £10 on selected products, you get 200 extra points.

The Johnson's stuff is on 2 for £2.50 and the cotton wool is on 2 for £2. The Johnson's individual prices are £2.47,

so the "till" online sees the original price @ £2.49......

So if you buy 4 of the Johnsons, you pay £4.96 but the till see's it as £9.96ish (sorry if the figures aren't quite right). Add something cheap like the cotton buds for 55p, and this takes you over the £10 spend..........but you only pay £5ish...

Baby Shampoo x 2 = £4.98
Baby Shampoo x 2 = £4.98
Cotton Buds x 1 = 0.55 (to take total spend to over £10)
= £10.51
200 points awarded
**the 2 for £2.50 then kicks in**
Total to pay = £5.51

Sorry if thats confusing!! try it - it works online!

Hope that makes sense!

can anyone confirm this works instore also? I have a parenting coupon for double points on baby toiletries, and one for 500points WYS £10 on baby products, this includes johnson's:D

MiasMommy

I dont think this works instore the 200 points part is only online, only an online glitch

I didn't think this would work, and wasn't brave enough to try (SA's at my local store have probably had enough of me 'trying out vouchers' to see if they will work:rotfl: )

Maybe the OP only used one voucher (although I am sure I read she'd used 2 ) and the till gave her points for each item, just like the mouth wash glitch??
