I still haven't got the latest No7 GWP, because I couldn't find any high lights today. I might have to 'buy' one of my own to get the GWP....... by the way, is there a problem with the No7 5.00 off WYS 20.00 PC? a few peeps have reported it doesn't scan? I really hope it does, otherwise my plan to get free stuff goes out the window!!!


I tried it today and it didn't scan for me - thought it was because I'd already presented the £5 No7/R&M voucher. Did the mascara/highlighter/GWP combo - paid £5.50 and used the 100 points with mascara ACM voucher.

Very tempted by the Sanctuary GWP but couldn't decide what was the best combo to spend just over £10 - any suggestions?I also have a £3 voucher form Christmas gift which I'm hoping to be able to spend - so I guess I might need to spend £13 unless I can manage to put the vouchers through in a certain order?

Hi Clare

I bought the sanctuary moisturiser which was about £11.95 and used my £3 off voucher and it went through no problem and still got gwp.

I bought that yesterday, its lovely. I was going to get another one to get another GWP as I like this one much better than the No7. I will try the voucher next time, thanks

Just wanted to ask about points given at Boots Opticians...I gave Hubby my points card today to use when he picked up his new specs but when I put it in the ACM later these points were not showing up. Do they take longer than normal to show? He swears blind he remembered to hand over the card.

I went up to Edinburgh Straiton this afternoon and was amazed to find they stocked Ruby & Millie make up, unlike the very close by and bigger Fort Kinnaird Edinburgh branch. It all looked very nice but even with a £5 voucher it's a bit out of my price range so was delighted to find a stack of R&M Metallics compacts on the reduced stand, down from £12 to £5. However the till wouldn't take the £5 voucher against these as they were reduced already. So I was forced to buy them with the points I had just been given by using an Olay Total Effects 500 voucher from the Parenting Club, plus assorted other No7 points vouchers. Still, what are points for but to spend?

Also, which R&M brushes and accessories will scan with a R&M voucher? I tried the facial tissue pack but computer said no. And has anyone tried the £5 vouchers with the Jemima Kidd (sp?) accessories?

I haven't tried the Jemma Kidd ones, but I tried the foundation brush which is £11, it wouldn't take it, even though it did last year, CS told me to ask the SA to override the till. I did get the R&M i-brush free, but I know there is another of the eye brushes that won't go through, although I can't remember which one.

You should get 1 point per £1 in Boots Optitions (not the 4 points/£1 you get from Boots - maybe you've missed them, expecting more?) - the points are usually added straight away...

Hi,

I was wondering whether anyone had a spare £5 of No7, RM voucher they don't need. I am currently skint and unfortunately cannot justify spending £10 in order to get a voucher.

I have got 2x Free £2 Digital Photo Printing Vouchers that I could swap.

Thanks.

Do you still need one, pm me.

Does anyone think the website will get updated tomorrow morning?

Aha, thanks for that. I expect that's what happened. Hubby's glasses were £225 so I was expecting 900 points, but could easily have missed 225.

By the way, I may be in the minority but I think the new GWP is great- I use the lip pencil, mascara, day cream and hand cream and I think the box is quite handy for stashing freebie sachets and miniatures! More useful to me than a make-up bag tbh!

I'm less keen on them than I was a few hours ago I opened them to retrieve the vouchers and miniatures etc, and as I thought might happen, that flimsy looking button came away in my hands. To make things worse, those Candyfloss Liplicious aren't the same shade as each other (old stock? ), one looks more bronze and the other's pink.

Good job I only wanted them to help with the Christmas hampers I'll be doing
