Just had a refusal:mad:

Took my illuminating powder and a Hydro quench serum to till with the GWP,some reduced socks and a pack of batteries.
The SA rang it all through and then looked at my vouchers:shocked: and said "Oh no you can't have the GWP when using any other vouchers",she wouldn't let me use the £5 off OR the illuminating powder one .The other SA she called over agreed with her:huh:
:rolleyes2


I'd already done the same tranaction in another branch,wish I'd done it twice there now.

Got the Sanctuary GWP with a Toner and a Hand Lotion in first branch too!

I feel a bit less confident now but I guess I just have to get out and try again!

You have my heartfelt sympathy! Why can't they just put the vouchers through and let the till decide whether we can have the goodies or not?:( Good on you for walking away to try another day though - I ended up paying more than I wanted to cos I "wasn't allowed" (sounds like I'm a naughty child!!) to use the pink £5 off No 7 voucher.
Keep trying - good luck!

I know its a glitch so we shouldn't really complain when they say NO!
At least I am not the only one

I asked her to try as I had got the same items the day before,but she wouldn't even try.

I need to pluck up more courage to try again tomorrow;)

Thing was,I only was buying the socks and batteries to get the total up for another voucher,so ended up with no No7 ,just sock and batteries and no voucher:mad:

Eye tests are free...or at least, mine was free last year and I'm not in a concession group. She said the rules have changed again. Or is that only in Scotland?

Edit: Yup, just looked and eye tests are free in Scotland. I'm pretty sure they won't give me 1000 points on a free eye test, lol...or would they?

Not free in England though

[quote=clare+3;8575119Hurray! I found the P&P giftsets (should prob have been doing some housework rather than driving round the country investigating Boots stock situation!:rotfl:)

BUT boo! Got a Jobsworth SA who wouldn't let me have the GWP and use the £5 off voucher. I'm rather miffed. What should you be able to do it at some Boots and not at others??!! She wouldn't even try the £5 voucher through the till, just said she'd asked her manager on Sat if she could do GWP and £5 off and been told "No"!. My requests for her to try the till - with the logic that if the till accepts it, surely it's ok - fell on deaf ears.
Anyway, I'm going to open the giftset and start using it tonight - how long till DH remarks on how young I'm looking (Oh, look - there's a flying pig....):rotfl:[/quote]

Which store did you find the P+P in Clare+3?

Eastgate Bristol. - there was one on the shelf when I went in, so I asked if they had any more and she brought some down from a stockroom. There were two left on the shelf when I'd bought mine. HTH!

good morning all!!!

I am a truebootser im sooooo proud of myself. Not only have i lost 3 pounds this wek in the boots change one thing campaign. I also did my bootsing with my vouchers!!!

Shop 1:-

Spent 5 pounds on 17 plus GWP
Spent 20 pounds on sanctuary 2 GWP and 2 3 pound savers
lots of reduced stuff including bottles of vitamin E body lotion for 25p
and a new 5 pound voucher
No no7 illuminators so didnt bother

Shop 2:-

Spent 5 pounds on 17 plus GWP and 100 points
no7 lipstick, lip liner plus GWP
no illuminator though
and another 5 pound voucher

so how did i do?

Just a tit bit of insider information i received from one of the managers of the stores for those of us who havent found a p&p set in our local stores these boots stores dont intend to put them out until mothers day and also thats when you'll find the best mothers day gifts on the actual day!!! Hope this helps!!!

And also a huge thnk you to week shes been my mentor and now im finally getting to grips and understanding things!!!

:T :T :T :T

Well done you!!
I got the p & p set today in st enochs, there were another few on the display(near the no7 counter on a square perspex stand with other gift sets). They were on the top and middle shelves displayed facing out, so quite prominent. None in S st or B galleries(tried there first). I also treated myself to a Guerlain gift set with INSOLENCE 30ml perfume and body lotion for a weird amount under £18(like £17.77!!).
I so love this bootsing!!!
PS I got an email from the "cherrymonday" people saying the emails are not coming out until March. If I hear anything from them(ie gift vouchers) I will let you know.

anyone tried this yet with the £5 voucher off no7?

I managed to use the free highlighter voucher with a pack of No7 nail buffers and case for £4.00, however the SA had to manually override ( well void off the highlighter !! ) as the till just kept beeping.

Also managed today to get the p+p set and GWP and used £5 off No7 and got another No7 £5off voucher ~ well impressed with the set, there were 2 more left on the shelf but the SA was very interested said she was going to get them on her lunch !!! , was tempted to buy another one again using £5 off voucher but couldn't justify!.

Treated myself to the p&p giftset today. Had them on display in Greenock today. Returned some Annabel Karmel baby things that I didn't want;) but without the receipt and SA kindly put the refund onto giftcard, so I got to keep my £13.50 worth of points.:j
Got the giftset and GWP £20, used £5 off voucher then £10 from giftcard so just £5 to pay:j . No magazines here today so will have to try another store tomorrow so that I can use my ebay vouchers.
