I did 5 separate transactions today to get 5 GWPs. All went sort of okay...except I made one HUGE mistake on all 5 transactions.

I didn't give the extra points vouchers (the 250 points in previous GWPs) in first. Therefore the till beeped and SA said No:mad: .......

I've done the same myself a few times hesjane. It's a disappointment, but soon made up especially with another 5 pink vouchers? I'm going to use my remaining vouchers up. Today it was starting to look like when the Time Delay/Roc £5 off offer was on. Loads of women wandering around with their pink vouchers looking for the cheapest thing to buy lol.

I have 8 pink vouchers to use up (and that includes giving some away to family and peeps on here). But I am visiting all the local boots and snaffling up their clearance stuff - even if it's something I don't use......I will find a place for it in a gift hamper somehow, somewhere, someday........:rotfl:



ooooooooo I feel a song coming on:rotfl:

hesjane

Does anyone think Boots will put another money off voucher offer on when this current one ends? I mean they went more or less straight from the Time Delay/Roc to the pink No 7 voucher.....would be great if they could go on to another one. Fingers tightly crossed here

Maybe it's me, maybe I'm losing it totally - could very well be, not getting much sleep at the moment..... but I thought they always give you your pink voucher on the actual amount you pay at the very end after all vouchers etc., as that's what they've been doing to me - if not I'm being robbed:eek:

Okay...last week I took the following to the tills...

No 7 body cream of some sort £10.50
Illum Powder £10.25

AND GWP

She scanned them through then I gave her the Illum powder voucher and a pink £5 off voucher. (And a points voucher, but lets ignore that.) She asked me for £5.50 in cash and then gave me a pink voucher back, as I'd "spent" £10.50...the voucher counts as cash in the Boots till, you see. (And because the Illum voucher also counts as cash, the till let me have the GWP too. )

Money off vouchers count as cash. So your total spend includes the voucher when there's a GWP or a reward such as a pink voucher.

-£10.25 illuminator voucher
-£5 pink voucher
hand over in hard cash/credit card = £5.50 and my SA would then not give me another pink voucher. Mightn't be right, but that's what's been happening to me - and if it's only me, then I'm mighty miffed and may be changing my Boots lol:rolleyes:

Off to bed now - brain hurts - nite nite passion8 zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

When i have bought a highlighter and another item then used the two vouchers and then iits come under ten pounds to pay i have found that they don't give you another pink voucher

Same here....never get a pink voucher unless the cash (or card) part of the transaction comes to over £10

There's no rhyme or reason to this, is there? IMHO Boots don't know the difference between their a**s and their elbows when it comes to their offers, at least when it comes to training their staff in a consistant manner. All the staff up here seem to shed pink vouchers like confetti.

Does that mean that all the times ive handed over about my vouchers and paid about five pounds towards my purschase for no7 i should have got a voucher back as before i handed any vouchers over it came to over ten pounds, that means ive missed out on about ten vouchers. Is there anything i can do about this
