    Does anyone have an address I can write or e-mail to, so I can complain to Boots?
    I'm sick of being embarrassed at the tills!
    I recently tried to use an ACM voucher for half price off any Botanics Skin care, it just wouldn't go through for anything so in the end I just said it didn't matter. That voucher is still showing up in my ACM so I tried it again in a different store and still it wouldn't work, just beeped away.
    Today I tried to use the Umberto Giannini for half price dazzling shine stuff, but again it wouldn't let me, and just beeping away despite trying 2 different products in that range. I even had a woman at the till say over and over it's only for a styling product even though they were both styling products! I had to just leave it in the end because they couldn't find the manager.
    This is getting really embarrassing and I'm reluctant to use my vouchers from the ACM anymore :mad:

    :hello: mrsbluebear and welcome :D

    Sounds like you had a good shop yesterday.

    I haven't had chance to try the UG glitch yet myself (others have who Im sure will add their views and help) but from what Ive understood you need the till split (which you have) and also an ACM voucher which gives you the product for half price. Apparently the till split works in addition to the half price ACM voucher leaving you with the pricely sum of 9p to pay!!

    All I need to do now is get myself a tillsplit and an ACM voucher! :rolleyes: :D Oh, and actually get time to get to flippin' Boots in the first place.

    The photo's help to calm me down somewhat though. ;) Anyone else got some pics?
    Oooh meant to ask has anyone got the No 7 Sensitive Eyes mascara and if so is it any good?

    Yeah, i was really pleased, I'm one of those silly people who has never really paid attention to all the coupons I get so I was really surprised to try it and earn so many points, even if i did have to put up with the SA rolling her eyes at all my coupons :o and its all thanks to you guys, well done :T I'm off to boots tomorrow to try and get myself that ACM voucher, cos I actually use UG shampoo n conditioner, so getting some of that range for 9p is a bargain!!! :D

    I'm possibly being completely thick here but could somebody please tell me whether or not Boots are still registered as merchants with Quidco??? I'm sure I've bought things from them through Quidco before but when I looked today couldn't find them listed as merchants!!!!
    Thanks a lot, am well pleased as have just managed to purchase 2 baby born baths for 3.49 each!!!! Bargain!!!! I'm really pleased as daughters have been after this for a while but I felt that 30 was a lot of money for it.

    I got the Echo woman 30 ml the other day in boots, reduced to £18.50 from £27.50. Using the fragrance voucher, I thought it was a good deal, £13.50. However I saw the same fragrance at the perfume shop for £14.99 for 100 ml, as well as echo mean and game men/ women.

    The Game 30 ml for £8 is a nice price still, even thoough more expensive per 100ml. But I prefer smaller fragrances that dont last very long. But the Echo one is not a good bargain. So returned it today, got my £13.50 back and headed for the perfume shop and got 100 ml for £14.99.
