:mad: Right, maybe i've got the wrong end of the stick here. Someone on freecycle kindly gave me 3 No7 pink vouchers. Went to Boots today & picked up 3 packs of No7 wipes and had 3 x No7 GWP 250 points on skincare voucher. Went to till and asked for 3 separate transactions and SA said that won't work as it is combining offers which isn't allowed. I gritted my teeth smiled politely and said please could you try. She scanned and the till DIDN'T beep. She then pressed something which then made the till beep, showed me ACM with points on and said "told you it wouldn't work". So i asked for my vouchers back and scuttled away fuming.
Should this have worked and did she deliberately make the till beep as i'm sure it went thro ok and she stopped it?
I need to try again as really want the points but don't think i can handle the humiliation. Would the ACM till machine have shown the points or have i been conned? HELP

I used my last 2 pink vouchers along with my 250 points from the current GWP today.

The only things that they have worked with is the mens range! Although I had not tried the wipes. Although I have come to the conclusion that their idea of Facial skincare is very limited! Also wanted to use the vouchers so that I could spend the points on something that I really want in the future. Won;t need any more lotions or makeup for a long time now.

I only wanted the cocooning body balm and the points voucher would not work on them with. So used all of my points vouchers (4 of them) to buy the new No7 mens range for dh. Only the things that were £6.00 or £6.50 mind you, so actually spending £1 or £1.50 in cash after deducting the £5.00 No7 voucher....but hey, hes worth every penny ( I did treat him to the p&p anti ageing serum £16.50, less £5.00 pink voucher and points! And hes going to get them all next month for his birthday!!)

It depends how many you buy. The more you buy the cheaper they are. Also if you go for 24 hour service rather than 1 hour its cheaper but can't tell you the exact price. Something like 1-49 prints 24 hour is 25p each ( don't know exact price) whereas same no on 1 hour are 35p each (this i know is price as i got several 3 free 7x5 from last mag offer on 1 hour. HTH

Just back from a Boots shop. Put through several transactions and put through a magazine with each of them. The SA said 'sorry..one magazine per customer':eek:

That's fine....said I;) - put them through anyway and I am happy to pay for them (knowing they would go through for £0.00). She did, and she wasn't happy when each transaction for No 7 for Men Shower and Hair Wash and magazine totalled £1.00:rotfl:

So, we get to the final transaction - No 7 stay perfect foundation £13.25 and No 7 Perfect Light Portable Loose Powder £11.00, and of course, GWP. Total was £24.25 - handed over pink voucher and PC voucher....total to pay £14.25. SA says you can't have the GWP now madam:mad: She'd already put it through the till and scanned the vouchers and till said YES:mad: - she said NO:mad:

So...I asked (well DH did) to speak to the manager and said we had been advised by customer services that SAs should try all vouchers if requested by the customer and if the till does not reject a voucher or part of the combined transaction then it is fine. The manager wasn't happy but said on this occasion I could have the GWP, buts he wouldn't do it again. Glad it wasn't my local Boots:T

Oh dear! Wasn't the dreaded store that 'shall not be named' in Staffordshire was it???

hi all
not a very good bootsing trip! sa was snooty over exchanging the xfoliator even though (lovely!) no 7 sa said its ok! im sure i heard her arguing with the poor girl over it!! when she got back from talking to the no 7 sa, she kept repeating that i could have used the no 7 voucher on the exfoliator, but they'll do it this time bla bla, i said 'ok i understand' 3 times but she kept repeating it like i was 3 years old!:mad: the nice male sa was going to let me do it but she stuck her oar in! anyway got it in the end, exchanged it for herbal essences bogof, 3 x simple moisturiser for mum, (3 for 2 on all simple skincare) foam bath shapes for lo, (75p) toothpaste for lo and got no 7 post shave stuff for oh. i was too scared to use any extra points vouchers! so didnt chance the 250 points no 7 voucher! her face was like thunder because i had a no 7 voucher!!:rolleyes: wish id known she was gonna be awkward cos i wouldve got the no 7 hairspray and just paid 75p instead honestly it was like i was stealing money out of her pocket not just returning something!
didnt try the 17 offer because im skint! so these vouchers are up for grabs!
all vouchers from mag
250 points on no 7 skincare NOW GONE
100 points on oral b stages
50p off oral b stages (thanks for those broclo, decided not to use though as i didnt realise oral b stages toothpaste only came in fruit flavours)
p.s is it right you cant pay with points if youve used a no 7 voucher?

Went to regents road boots in manchester and the soap and glory bag going through at nothing so got the bag fror free loads on the shelf and also has the soap and glory set for 7.50

I would like to get the free S&G bag. Could someone please let me know if they are they located along with the products or hidden away somwhere?
And can I pick one up on its own without purchasing any of the S&G products and get it for free?? Or do they only go thru as free if you have actually bought a S&G item???

Thanks
