"I've just watched the whole rigmarole re-enacted with my oh and it's so long winded Dollardog, that I wouldn't know where to start. BUT, I think he had a valid argument. He was refused the use of a voucher for the highlighter, because he didn't have an advantage card - and Sod's Law - it had arrived when we were out. His argument was: where does it say on those vouchers that anyone has to have an advantage card? I can't find one "

I have just been reading the above re: not having advantage card and using illum voucher ~ has anyone else had any experience of this?

I am waiting for my replacement and DaisyFlower (:D ) is kindly sending me a couple of illum vouchers as I couldn't get any H&B mags myself ( appears to be a shortage by me!!) does this mean that I will encounter a problem?

:A

Hubby posted them today so you should get them tomorrow.

I cant see why you would have a problem using it without a card as you can buy the mag if you're not a card holder.

hi went to trafford centre on mon night - had s&g sets and accessorize boxes at full price near ground floor entrance - part of mothers day display i think. Even got SA to scan S&g set but came up at £15.00!!

Where do they normally have reductions/clearance in this store?

Thanks
:cool:

I think the ones at the front or the store are the mothers day gifts not the valentines ones, i dont know where they keep the reduced stuff here, i've been in a few times for the p & p sets but they never have them, will try urmston & stretford and let you know if i find any bargins.

hi guys, just got a little question for your wise brains. Am in the unfortunate position of having my mum's birthday AND mothers day in the same weekend and she is in need of some protect and perfect. I have a £5 off voucher but was wondering what the pc voucher was and if it could only be used online? also is there any particular way of getting a good deal on no7 things for her? I'm happy to buy more than just the cream if I can get a good deal, she's worth it:D

Hi

If your store sells the highlighters, I'd pop one of those in your basket . [Make sure you've got the voucher from the back of the H&B magazine! lol] Then I'd buy her something in the No 7 range that she probably wouldn't buy for herself - maybe the wipes, the face wash, the hair spritz, eye and lip cream etc etc There's a few other 'loopholes' that others have used, and for cheaper items of No 7, but I can't remember them off the top of my head lol. I'm sure someone will add to this, or reply to your post a bit more precisely than I can

Edited: The pink vouchers are for instore only - unless it's changed!

I had what I thought was a good shop today.
I went to Wesfields and decided to spend my last £5 pink voucher in conjunction with a £5 pc voucher. I had wanted to get the Hand Saviour as people had recommended it and my hands get very dry sometimes when gardening. I changed my mind though and was tempted by the Cocooning body balm instead as it weas a lot bigger pot and it also said it was for dry skin.

I got No7 Cocooning body balm £12.50
highlighter £10.50
GWP.

Handed the £5 pc voucher in first, SA stood looking to see if I was going to give her any more vouchers, so I pushed it a bit nearer to her and took out my debit card, she scanned the voucher, then I gave her the highlighter voucher, 'This won't go through' she said, you've already had a free gift. So I asked her to try it, of course it did. Then I gave her the pink £5 voucher, 'You can't use this as well', she said, you've used the other one. I said 'I know, but I want to use that as well'. 'No, you don't understand, you can't use both together', she said.
'Well if you won't try them through the till, then I'll go somewhere else, I said, 'my friend did the same combination and it worked, but the problem is, that you have now scribbled on the voucher, so I can't use it elsewhere'.
'You can still use the pink one somewhere else' she said. 'But I want to use them together, like my friend did' I said. Anyway, reluctantly, she did try the pink one, with me standing holding my breath and with my fingers crossed under the counter (lol). Lo and behold.....no beep!! So I only had £2.50 to pay, much to her disgust!!.
'Well I don't know why or how that worked' she said, ' it shouldn't have.
I'm going to write that down to show my supervisor'

But the best bit was, I 'wombled' another pink voucher that someone had left on the counter at the side of where I was standing, so I actually got paid £2.50 to take them away!!

week

Before I duplicate (and I have already spent over 30 mins reading the posts) has anyone posted the offers in the new mag? I got it tonight and will post if not done already. let me know ladies(and men seemingly!).

Hiya!

I would buy her the P&P Gift set at £20, get a GWP, use the £5 off voucher and any extra points from the ACM.

Then you would get another £5 voucher back to spend - you could buy her another item from the P&P range, say the eye cream at £15.50, pick up a highlights powder, and a free GWP, hand over the £5 voucher, then the highlights voucher, another total spend points from the ACM, Pay £10.50 cash!!;)

There's a mothers day P&P giftset (large round box) which has a full 30ml sized face serum in it (usual price £16.75) and some other P&P goodies too, the box is £20, a bargain. You can get the GWP with it and use your £5 voucher too, some people have managed to get the highlights powder with it too using the voucher from the mag, but not everyone.

Picture here, the serum is 30mls, not 15mls as it says on the site
