would this work please

free ts long hair product wyb another mag voucher
free ts professional conditioner wyb ts profesional shampoo pc voucher
100 points acm voucher

to get both products for free and 100 points. OR am i dreaming

No one has reported trying this, so you'd have to give a go to see!

Speaking of vouchers, I am really tired of the 250 points model.me *still* not scanning! I bought one model.me today and the SA had the points put on manually and let me use my other coupons, then I tried to do another transaction and got a different SA and was denied using the mag coupon and the ACM together! She was quite nice about it, so I was pleased I got someone with good customer service skills, but I still felt a bit silly explaining that I had just used both coupons 10 minutes earlier, and that I just wanted my coupons back because it would scan properly soon and I wasn't trying to convince her to OK anything if she thought she shouldn't! You'd think the SAs would notice the tills allowing some good deals and realize that some shoppers are on to it, but most don't.

Not to mention I then stupidly tried to get 3 liz arden glosses on clearance for 2 pounds each thinking I could get 1000 points -- I had forgotten one had to be skincare, so it had to be refunded because I had no desire for any of the glosses and almost didn't get them even when I thought I'd get more points than I'd spent. Doh!

I tried the TS with the mag voucher and the PC voucher on Weds and the mag voucher beeped! BUT I was also doing the Model.Me in the same transaction so the till spit had already been scanned. SA thought that was why it wouldn't work. I think the mag voucher didn't work because it's a new one though so maybe it'll work now.

Got a chance to go out today after all, and found a nice little glitch!

When you buy Trevor Sorbie long hair shampoo or conditioner, the coupon from the new mag is supposed to give this to you for free if you buy any other TS product. This coupon now scans without beeping, fyi. But instead it charges you for the shampoo or conditioner and gives you the other TS item free, even if it's more expensive! Actually, the coupon says you get any TS long hair product free with any other TS product, so I guess it doesn't mean it has to be shampoo. But that's what works for me, and you would think you'd get the cheaper item free, and instead it is only charging you for the cheaper item, which is the shampoo or conditioner.

This happened yesterday, but I thought it was the SA's error as she had to enter the coupon manually. But it happened again today when the coupon scanned! I bought a TS long hair shampoo for curly hair (pink bottle) for £4.49 and a TS long hair curl cream for £4.99. I used the mag coupon for a free long hair product, 100 points on ts long hair and £2 off haircare till spit. The till gave me the curl cream for free and charged £2.49 for the shampoo after coupons! This saved me 50p, which honestly I would've rather paid because the glitch made me 11p short of getting a till spit, and I *so* don't need more of the little things around the register to top up the total (just bought two six packs of Kleenix pocket tissues at Tesco, half price at 89p AND BOGOF!).

But at least I was on to something. I tried it again, this time with the TS long hair conditioner and a TS long hair serum which is £6.99. And again I was charged for the conditioner and got the serum free! I should've paid £4.99 for the serum after the £2 till spit, but instead I paid £2.49 for the conditioner. Not bad.

The most expensive TS items I could see to try this with are hair masks at 5.99 and the serum at 6.99.

Just quoting this with regards the TS , thanks Skibs

is there a certain way around that the vouchers and the till spits have to be scanned so they both go through?

Had a good bargain yesterday, even though it was a small shop. I got

for free, using £5 off olay and 600pts on olay. Also got
for £2.50 since both SA and I forgot that he already gave me the balance. Supposedly it was £7.50, after i used £5 off fragrance voucher. I paid with £10, and he gave me the £2.50 balance twice :rotfl:
Totally forgot about the balance until I went home, and discover that i got £5 back..:rotfl:
So I got 1 free Olay hand cream and £2.50 CKin2u 20ml, and got 628 pts :T

Not Manchester but have found them in 2 branches on the Wirral (which isn't a million miles away).

They're inside an insert which is actually bound into the mag, they're on the last page of the insert. Just went to see what page I found it but DH has took the recycling out :rolleyes: . Think A's Mum explained whereabouts she found them, I'll try and find the post now to quote.

Been today and got a few mags as I had promised to send vouchers to poster, Picked up 2 mags on my way in and went to perfume counter and SA put the mags through, so I said 'oh can I have another 1', checked for voucher first;) anyway the TS ones weren't in the ones located on the perfume counter?!? So got those 2 picked up another couple from original place and went to main tills..no probs.

SA told me that some time delay had been reduced (how sad the Sa's know me now!!) to £2.50 and there was a voucher in back of mag for 200pts, so got 2 TD anti wrinkle serums total £5 with 400 points back. ( they look nice they are in a little glass bottle )

Are you talking TS or Model me? Skibster reports no beeps on TS ones, I would hand the mag one in first and then till spit last.

Model me I think mag voucher still beeping !?!

hi, im going to chester 2moz and was after any info, is there anything worth looking out for, reduced perfume?clearance, new mags with the t&g vouchers?
any help would be useful

I haven't been for ages but the clearance was situated at the very back of the store on the right hand side ( near the back enterance doors) I know alot of stores have got rid of their clearance sections so it may have disappeared, when I last went all reduced fragrances were located around the fragrance section.

If mags are dotted around the store I would check in them first to make sure they have the hair supplement with vouchers before you get it as when I was in my local today they had ones with and ones without

Soz couldn't have been more helpx

No mags in Crewe!
Blooming nuisance!
Will try S-O-T Festival 2moro!!
