Hi


There is no way that the experiance was worth £149.

So please beware, unless you choose wisely, you may well be fleeced!

Wow - did you complain like mad??

Hi

Sorry to butt in on this thread, just wanted to warn you about an issue I had with a gift experiance from Boots..

I was given a gift experiance as a Christmas gift and it was £149. (I know this because I had to take it back to boots as it went out of date a week after I was given it, they had last years stock on the shelves last Christmas!) Anyway... When I traded the voucher in for the experiance which was for 2 tickets for the Theatre and a meal for 2, I found that the theatre tickets had a face value of £15 each (up in the gods with the biggest post in front of the row. I THINK it was Phantom that we saw, but can't be sure!!) and the meal was ceaser salad for starter and chicken ceaser salad for the main course (little Italian place in soho). No other restuarants were available on the same day as the tickets.

There is no way that the experiance was worth £149.

So please beware, unless you choose wisely, you may well be fleeced!

Hi

I didn't complain, It didn't occur to me. Just vowed to not buy one as a gift or ask for one as a gift again. To make matters worse, the person who bought it didn't have an advantage card so didn't benefit at all!!

I won't bore you all with the drama that went with exchanging the original, nearly out of date, experiance purchased! It involved me standing in the piccadilly branch for 3 hours before they found a cashier/manager who knew what to do.

To add insult to injury, I only really wanted to see Billy Elliot and that wasn't even one of the choices!

I think form previous posts it has to be two products from the same range and one has to be styling

Nope myself and others, Pollsdolls being one have done this with items from different ranges under the model me name. I think its just store specific.

Question about the N7 voucher inside the GWP: are they cosmetics only?

Anyone tried it with suncare or bathing products?

Now that would be super handy

Still havent seen a GWP for the med range, my BOGOF voucher is begging to be spent. Managed to find the Boots in the retail park in Falkirk (Thanks Catherinehenderson1972 for the tip) but none there yesterday. They did have the £5 tubs of body butter just to tempt me but I'm hanging out for my freebie.

My local store didn't have any Med GWPs the other day, but today they had 3 on the shelf:j I got 2 of these and used BOGOF PC.

The GWP is gorgeous. It's well worth waiting for:D I especially love the almond, pistachio & mild body butter. I could eat it:rotfl:

BTW the 250 points voucher out of the mens NO7 GWP wouldn't scan for me yesterday?? Had to have the points added manually[/color]

Minx did you get the pink ones?

.....did the SA def scan the £ side as opposed to the euro side? I remember this being a problem before.

I did think of putting it in a gift bag or something, but the one it comes in is so pretty! I looked at the receipt again, and it's described as a "gift bag £10" and now free. Hmm. I may have someone scan it next time to see if it rings up. Has anyone had theirs scanned before other med products? And did it ring up with a total of £10?

yes, I have. The SA scanned it first. It came up at 10.00. Then she scanned the preg body butter. Linksave came up on till and reduced the total. HTH:D

I've been using the mini med body butter since the soap deal.....that almond, etc one is LUSH!!! I love it.....the GWP has disappeared from all my locals though.:rolleyes:

Right....I'm off on holiday for two weeks......10 of us, large villa with infinity pool....and a suitcase full of Boots products! I'll be back in a few weeks primped, preened, buffed and spritzed up to the hilt.....in fact....100% Gorgeous!!!

Happy bargain hunting, ladies....and men!
