Way to go CharlieMumof3 :A :T .... a lovely post and very kind too.

I have just got back from another good shop at Cribbs, Bristol.

Very, very busy so No7 SA's rushed off their little footsies

I got the GWP, Illuminating powder and the Hydro Sauna mask. Got another mag given to me at the tills :T ... so dumped first lot in the car and went round again .... I'm learning !!!

Also bought the gift set of Soap & Glory for niece to give to my sis for Mothers Day.

Shall have another go next week before the offer ends.

Lots of mags in Cribbs but only at the tills and they also had the Hand Saviour at the No7 counter ... all boxed in gold/black packaging.

Love, love, love this thread .... :T :T .... thanks to you girls for your feedback :A on your buys.

I had a really uncomfortable experience regarding those magazines, and I refuse to use one No7 counter in one particular store. (Not that I use many No7 counters to be served lol). One SA mentioned the fact that I'd used 1 for a transaction already, and because I was using another one, she gave me some blurb about 1 x per advantage card etc etc. I felt like a thief! What she didn't know, (and I'd forgotten) was that I'd received a few magazines via online deliveries! .... but I've never personally used the highlighter voucher since, that's how embarrassing it was.

Last week I'd forgotten my advantage card, and mentioned it as I went through a till in another store. She said it didn't matter, didn't even bother to scan it, and the voucher inside was used in another store.

So I guess the moral of the story is: if a SA does query the use of magazine vouchers, tell them they're from another store or an online delivery

I have had literally dozens of them this month, having got a lot for people on here, as well as myself. Some I have had scaned, some I have taken to the till to be scanned but the SA has just put them in my bag and some that I have just helped myself to when they have been in a convenient place to just take. Not once has the till beeped or an SA has said that I couldn't have one.
I have used dozens of the highlighter vouchers, getting a lot of those in the early days for people on here, that couldn't get them or the mags, again, I have never been challenged. nor my Advantage card stopped.
The other day, I was in a store and had a CD with me with photos on, as I remembered someone on here having said that each time they go in a store, they get 3 photos done on the 1 hr service. I asked the team leader if it was alright to do several transactions straight after one another, he said as long as I had enough vouchers to do the number of transactions I wanted to do, that was fine, although it was too late in the day to do the 1 hr service. I did 7, I had a phone call this morning from the store, apologising because they had got a problem with the machine and hadn't been able to get them done, they said they would adjust the price, I told them that they were all being done under the offer, so I wasn't paying but I wasn't bothered if they didn't get them done until the weekend. They said that was fine.
It says on the vouchers that only one per transaction, but there is nowhere on the voucher that says you can't do more than one transaction.
If anyone was worried about using the photo one more than once, you could just tell them that as there was nothing to pay and no points to be earned, you hadn't got your card with you.
As for the SA who told the person that people were taking the ****, I would certainy have got his name from his badge and reported him not only to his manager, but also to customer services.

Yes! For example, the giveaways are limited and sometimes offers are limited to being printed a couple/three times per card. Another useful feature of two cards is that if you are using one more than the other, the Total Spend vouchers may well be for different amounts. So check both cards every time and see which offers suit you best. You will also find the offers are different for men and women. e.g. shaving care & "ladies things"

NB - it doesn't seem to matter which name is printed on the ACM vouchers either.

It depends on the SA. I have only once ever used a voucher with someone elses name on and the SA spotted it and refused it.:cool:

It was one that had been left on top of the ACM no doubt by someone on this site, (Thank you.) It was for No7 and there was none issued on my card. I have never tried it since. I wouldn't mind but it was buried amongst a load of others. She did accept the ones in my husbands name though.

Hi Jilly, i frequent the Manchester area (Arndale/Trafford/Manchetser Fort/Bolton/Bury etc) Boot's quite a lot!

Just come back from a very successful shop @ the Trafford Centre where i managed to get a Soap & Glory Small Or Nothing set (Righteous butter/shower gel/moisturising mist) for £3.33.

(It's my 1st time trying their products after hearing about them on here, and i must say the righteous butter - OH MY GOD! - i absolutely LOVE it! Totally converted & it smells so divine.. Yum! Comes highly recommended if you don't love it already, like moi :happyhear )

Anywho, getting carried away..,i can confirm the Trafford Centre has reductions & a 1/3 off on pretty much all the now lovely S&G products. Didnt look for Valentines set myself i must admit, but will certainly ask for you next time i go in. S&G products are upstairs on right hand side, near back, some near upstairs left hand tills.

I can also confirm LOTS of P&P sets and mags @ Manchester Fort & Bury (Woodfields Retail park)

HTH you Jilly and other fellow Mancs, will post successful shopping list soon for all you list lovers :cool:

Thanks for that. I've just nipped in Boots on the retail park in Oldham and no reductions on the Soap and Glory valetines set! They did however have loads of magazines left.

Going to Trafford Centre tomorrow evening so will check out what they have in there.

Thanks

Hi, I lurk every day but rarely post (I do blame you all for the fact that I spend a fortune in Boots though!!) but I was just wondering...

I complained to customer services about an online order and got an email today saying they would add 1000 points to my advantage card. This isn't showing as pending on the online site though - should it be or does it just get added when you go to the machine? Thanks in advance!

No, i typed in Clinique base and it comes up but it says more details where it normally says add to basket, when you clock that it takes you to the main clinique bit so im guessing its oos. Im just going to grab it when im in boots at the weekend.

Thinking of getting the Lancome Star Bronzer thing , has anyone tried it yet?
