Wow £8 of points :beer: that was good! Just for research purposes (hehe) what did you get? I hesitated at the Clinique counter but DS was getting fed up. Called into Debenhams later and visited Dior & Chanel counters and was amazed at how friendly they were, was given several samples, made up for snooty EL girls.

I got:
Take the Day Off makeup remover for lids, lashes and lips £11.50
TouchBase for eyes in Canvas Light £10.00
Superfine liner for brows £9.50
GWP in box
GWP for buying 3 things

I got:
500 points for buying 2 Clinique items (from bf's Mum when she got the GWP)
100 points for spending over £15 (Spring mailing)
50 points for spending over £7.50 (ACM)
124 points from double points coupon from the £31 total spend (Spring mailing as before)
44 normal points (from the third item cost... didn't get normal points for two items due to the 500 points coupon)

Total cost: £31 (£9.98 credit from returned items, £10 pigsback voucher, £11.92 cash)
Total points: 818

I pointed out that the items I was returning were only sold in Boots. Also pointed out that I wouldn't dare do anything illegal in there, as they all recognise me!! She laughed, but did agree with me!

The young Clinique girl is lovely, and so is one of the older ladies that works in the same area (sometimes on the No7 till, but not always). The latter was really pleased for me when I got No7 bargains when the No7 £5 vouchers were on.

Haven't shopped so much in Debenhams, though the Chanel lady there was lovely to me too when I had a voucher for a free trial size mascara.

How did you get £8 in points? Did you have one of the 500pts on elusive clinique?

Thinking of doing the 3 x shampoo/conditioner for £24 then getting the GWP plus 2 x 75ml you get for third item...despite not using clinique :rotfl:

Yes, bf's Mum had got two items and GWP in the first two weeks of the promotion, when you got the extra points voucher. Since she wasn't going to get anything else, she gave the voucher to me It wasn't valid until this week, so couldn't be combined earlier.

I was going to get the things earlier, but I've had exams Thursday and Friday this week (and have another on Tuesday!), and have been studying with a friend from 9am to 6pm every day, so couldn't get there earlier. Didn't want to wait until Tuesday after my last exam, as the GWPs might have finished by then! Did get told to go home and rest, though... I must have looked as tired as I felt!:o

Hey slow down, for all the dim people out here, can you just back track on how you know all this stuff. I hate asking all of these, (what I feel other peeps will be saying) stupid qustions. What do I know? Well nothing but I did see someone at the other till pay £41.00 with clinque products and get a GWP tonight but I just thought £41, ..... £41 she must use the stuff...
Where do I find this stuff out Bro. Where do I start looking? How did you find where the 2x 75ml stuff comes from?
Owwwwwww, Should I have sent a PM

ahhhhhhhh, having one of those 20+ moments:p


Must have been seeing that young guy all of a flutter at the till that has got my hormones racing:rotfl:

The 2x75mL item are the "bonus" GWP you get when you buy three items rather than just the two that you get the GWP box with. It should be advertised in-store as well, though not usually as obviously as the box is.

The extra two items are VERY good sizes. The full size of the liquid soap is 200mL, but the full size of the scrub cream is 100mL (£15), so you effectively get 3/4 of the full size for free!

I haven't tried the liquid soap yet, but the scrub cream is one of those items that I have bought several times in the past and really like.

Hi Ladies...

A quick question. I got mailing but not really gonna use much and my mate got one i will.. is it possible to swap vouchers or will the till not allow it (as the vouchers are named)

Ta

The till will let you use your friend's vouchers.
The SA might not like it, but they don't usually stop you.

Just had my free ROC bag through the post, it has a headband, mirror and make up bag plus a £5 voucher - voucher is valid until 31/3/09 so plenty of time to use it.

Cant remember who originally posted the freebie link but thank you very much :T

Cleansing wipes £5.99 x 3
Till takes off £5.99 for 3 for 2

So £6.98 for 3 packs of roc cleansing wipes?
EDIT: Wouldnt have to just do roc 3 for 2 would you? Lots of mix and match skincare on 3 for 2, is this in store too?
