    I have 2 med soaps somewhere, from ages ago. But i think i could get into trouble for taking them into a store just to use them to get something for nearly free cos i know that the voucher doesn't work correctly on the till.

    To all the people doing this please please be carefull there are lots of boots glitches out there i really really want one of the med sets, just because, infact now it is becoming a need/obsession.

    You have to think though they could call the police or perhaps worse ban you from the store.

    You couldn't really say i brought it in so i could get it free with my med purchase they would know you new there was a glitch and plausable deniability would go out the window. Isn't it something to do with obtaining goods by deception?

    You nrought the soap in so you could pretend to be getting it free when you knew you would get the gift set free cos ur subscribed to mse.

    I don't have any moral high ground or anything just think you guys should be really careful i would hate to see or hear of anything bad happening.


    Opinion well and truly shared, feel so much better now.

    Anyone tried any of the other west yorkshire stores
    wakefield?
    Dewsbury(only small don't know if stock med range)?
    Bradford?
    Halifax? (they didn't like highlighter glitch much)
    Leeds ikea retail park?

    Just wondering

    Hi it works in the one in leeds town centre. Not sure about wakefield, as thats where i went first but couldn't get vouchers from acm there and the staff are not that nice in there

    This is a do-it-yourself test for paranoia: you know you've got it when you can't think of anything that's your fault.

  • Phoned CS today about the lack of Expert GWP tins in the north east. Also told them about the Arnison Centre keeping them back. He's going to e mail them to point out that they should be on display as they are a NEW offer.

    Also asked if he could tell me the stores that did have them in stock, was told that the mainframe is not available to them at weekends but if I call back tomorrow CS will be able to pinpoint those stores which have stock.

    Anyone searching fruitlessly for these, it might be worth a phonecall tomorrow to see which stores near you have them.

    Thats good to know as I couldn't find any in either of the Liverpool city centre shops on Saturday, did anyone else find any?

    Just an update. had my list with me on Sat after work and went straight to the ACM first luckily I had the med offer and allowed me to print 3 times and also the extra 75 if spend £7.50, then realised that it didnt print as it had no paper :0( so went to the ACM upstairs and the med offer had disappeared and I forgot to take my mums card too.

    But managed to get the TS through at 51p but no extra 100pts, brought the body wash scrub for 4.99 got the additional 100pts and 250pts. I was so thrilled that I quickly gave the SA my credit card instead of my gift card. Never mind i'm sure there will be more offers that i'll see on MSE that I could spend my money on. The SA was so nice she congratuled me on doing so well on getting so much, she congratulated me the first time I tried the glitch on the S&G too. think I will go to her everytime I shop and let her in on MSE so she can save some money too, but I dont want some of the other SA's know as they're quite moodly and rude when I first went in to just check if they sold a particular perfume.

    O not sure if there is anyone from the west midlands but there were LOADS of expert tins in Hereford branch. HTH someone.

    Hi :wave: fellow Coventry bootser, the first one I've 'seen' on here :D

    Ooooh, looks like a trip up to Central 6 will be on the cards tomorrow then ;)

    I don't know about the yellow & black MF GWP, haven't tried that one yet, but the black Lola Rose one definitely works at the precinct. Tip - the SA at the back of the store, at the electrical counter is lovely and will try any voucher/coupon for you and is always really pleased at your bargains :D

    What med. product did you get with the soap then? Were you brave enough to try for the gift set?!

    hi :wave:- yes - i was brave - i got the 2 gift bags - 1 green one and 1 blue one which is fab - went through no probs (and plenty more left) they also had some nice looking gift sets in a square box for £10 but I only got 2 vouchers (and none on dh's card :( ) I am sure they will have the no7 nail polish sets left as there were plenty and they were marked at full price. - they were on the bottom shelf of a little stand beside the no7 counter.

    I really wanted the flat MF gift bok with the lip gloss in it - found one at precinct a couple of weeks ago but SA wouldnt scan it even though i had a basket full of stuff :( they seem to have all gone now though and i havent heard any reports of theblack and yellow one going through free yet.

    have a fun shop tomorrow and dont forget to report back. I find some of the sa's a bit scary and central 6 but i gota saturday girl. i often try the pharmacy counter though which usually works ok...
