Anybody work for Boots?

I used to until redundancy 12yrs ago, I was fortunate to keep my discount card

. I know its double discount week but you can't order online, so I tend to go into my local store with a list and they order for me to collect and I get double discount.
I had a set of No7 perfect and protect on the list, �74.95, but noticed it was online only, but forgot to cross it off. I told the assistant, so she tried it and said it had gone through ok. Well, I checked my receipt when I got home, and it says discount exempt, so that will be returned when it arrives.
I have gone on the website as it said online only and put it in my basket, however, instead of giving me the single 22.5% discount, it is only giving me �9.37, does anyone that works for Boots know why?

You can�t use double discount online, it has to be in store, so that�s why it�s only showing the single discount. There are a few things that are discount exempt so it might just not work at all in store. I was trying to double check on my account but can�t see a No 7 item for �74.95, have you got the link to it?

I know you can't get double discount online, but it wasn't even giving me the single 22.5%, just �9.37.

Ooo yes sorry it�s No 7 so the higher discount. Weird it�s giving you the non No 7 discount

You�d think it would be the full discount or nothing!

I�ve just added it to my basket and it�s only giving me the �9.37 off too. Maybe because it�s already on such a good saving it�s not letting much more be taken off?! I�m in there tomorrow so will see if anyone knows why for you

Its very odd because other No7 items it gives 22.5%

Even odder, I've just put each item separately into the basket and it has given me 22.5% discount, so if I go in store and get it, it should, by rights, give me double discount. Bought separately its on 3 for 2 so I'd also get 6 items instead of 5

Yea exactly. It should either go though as no discount, 22.5 or 50%. Not sure why it�s adding the lower non No 7 discount!

Hopefully buying them separately will work for you. It�s still a fair bit cheaper buying them like that at least

It sounds like when the product was set up, it was set up with the wrong discount. Can�t help with the discount exempt thing though.

Do you want to PM me the item code, and I�ll flag it when I�m back in the office on Monday, but it won�t change anything for DD unfortunately.

I went to Meadowhall to do my DD shopping today, spent a small fortune.

PM sent
I'm due to collect in store on Tues so I'll just return them and re-order individually while I'm there. Wonder how many others have bought it and not noticed though.
Like you, I spent a small fortune too.
