    I would try to get the p & p set in the round box for £20 if I was you, it is a much better buy. I see they have them online too now.
  • Went into Boots today to use up a £5 pink voucher, decided to buy No7 foundation for DD. Also picked up High Lights powder as I had a voucher for that too. Put both items through the till and SA said " You get a free gift with all that" and promptly went off to get me one. When she came back I pointed out that I didn't want to spend money on the powder as I had a voucher. She said "It will still work" and lo and behold it did!!

    I got No7 foundation, High Lights powder, No7 GWP and only paid £7 after handing over High Lights voucher and £5 pink voucher, also used a 250 points voucher from Christmas too. I'm well pleased and the other SA's were amazed.

    Went back later and did the same thing again with a No7 concealer, I used the main tills where there was quite a long queue, No7 SA was calling to everyone "Would you like to come and pay at this till please". Nobody budged, I wonder why? Must have all been Bootsers :rotfl:

    Tried getting £20 PP set + GWP - £5 voucher but the SA at the till would not let me, since "I was not spending£5". Asked her to check we saw the "receipt" on the screen and it said GWP , but she still would not let me have it. Cancelled and went to the other Boots. This was at the Oracle Reading.

    Broad Street Boots Reading: decided to ask the N7 SA. Really nice lady, said she would try and see. She had tried the day before but it did not go through because she had staff discount. Till did not beep (obviously) and got £20 PP set + GWP - £5 voucher. (paid £15, earned another N7 voucher, earned 60 points + 100 ACM WYS £15). Great.

    Note: lots of P+P gift sets in both stores. Some sanctuary GWP in both.

    Inside the GWP there is the 250 points when you buy any N7 skincare valid until 22-04-2008.

    Has anyone used this coupon in conjunction with the £20 P+P set + GWP - £5 voucher?

    I don't know if this has been posted before, but when I was in my local Boots yesterday the SA told me that when the £5 vouchers end, No 7 will be on 342.

    Just called the Boots in Gloucester, very helpful lady on the line & she said they do have the P+P giftsets only as it Valentines they are not on display so you need to ask for them but they are in stock.
    Once cupid has thrown all his arrows they ought to be out on display after that.
  • myself, my sister and my mum have all tried to get the GWP with foundation/powder/eyeshadows and the free illuminating powder but all sales assistants have refused us the free GWP
    yep im having the same problem.
    Inside me lives a skinny woman crying to get out - but I can usually shut her up with cake!

    Hi pick up 3, they go through as 3 for 2, so you only pay for 1 if you use the pc voucher too, I got 3 today for £4.49

    Well done mamaduke - I tried doing this today but the till wouldn't have it and the SA said it was because it was on 3for2 so I'd already got one free, so I ended up leaving the 3rd one and just using the pc voucher, thus 2 for £4.49..

    With hindsight maybe I should have left the stuff and saved the vouchers to try in another Boots another day, but I was so happy with the rest of my purchases:

    TS Shampoo
    TS Conditioner
    No 7 Dream Lash Mascara,
    No 7 High Lights illuminator,
    GWP,
    Olay cleansing wipes.
    Diet coke
    Extra gum

    Total: £35.56

    I then gave over the vouchers in the following order:
    300 points wys £35
    PC £5 off No7 wys £20
    100 points Dream Lash Mascara
    Magazine illuminator voucher
    Pink £5 NO.7 voucher
    PC free TS Conditioner
    PC free Olay product voucher
    150 points TS Professional ACM voucher

    BUT - the PC TS Conditioner and the PC free Olay vouchers wouldn't scan. As above, I then left one of the TS products, and the SA overrode the till and put the Olay wipes as 00. - The only downside being that I was no longer over my £35 so didn't get the 300 points (and meant I'd bought expensive diet coke and gum for nothing).

    But still feel I got a great bargain as total to pay was: £6.33 and got 270 points - and it's all stuff that I will use - which is the main thing that makes a bargain a bargain!!!!

    Best wishes to all the other bootsers, and thanks everyone for sharing their successes here.

    My olay pc voucher is a free olay product when you buy any olay total effects moisturiser, did you buy that? if not, thats probably why it wouldnt scan?
