Looks like the SNK BAC is no longer working with the gwp anymore - I just tried again and it isn’t working.

MrsDahliaTravers · 07/10/2026 10:00

I couldn't get the SNK calendar to work with the GWP, that would have tipped the balance for me!

NC543210 · 07/10/2026 10:12

I wasn't too fussed about the GWP but I'm feeling twitchy about the snk AC
Do I pull the trigger or wait it out. That's the question... This is from the same person who's been saying all along absolutely not.

gianfrancogorgonzola · 07/10/2026 10:24

HHFAC says OOS <cries> <realises can't justify Β£350 anyway>

Thelifeofawife · 07/10/2026 10:24

Annoyingly, I have 2 accounts with SNK and have used both in recent months due to points.
They did email me this week with a Β£5 voucher as an apology for delayed delivery but that’s not enough off a very expensive calendar

Thelifeofawife · 07/10/2026 10:26

MrsBnow12 · 07/10/2026 09:58

Looks like the SNK BAC is no longer working with the gwp anymore - I just tried again and it isn’t working.

They aren’t doing themselves any favours given how slow those BACs are moving, and now they are getting slated for their luxe one, you’d think they would allow the GWP just to get things moving

IDontHateRainbows · 07/10/2026 10:27

SNK have disappeared up their own bum lately. Is it the new ceo? Rubbish deals and they aren't giving out samples with orders. I also didn't receive the free gift I was supposed to get with my JM advent calendar, and trying to speak to CS is an exercise in futility.

DidILeaveTheGasOn · 07/10/2026 10:29

The Debenhams BAC is reduced to Β£102 from Β£120 on TikTok. I’m not tempted by it, I think it would have to be heavily discounted and I would need to be at the end of a bottle of wine.

SummerLimes · 07/10/2026 10:32

I can’t see the luxe calendar in the app. I’m not deluxe though and unlikely to be with the current offerings.

OvaHere · 07/10/2026 10:33

gianfrancogorgonzola · 07/10/2026 10:24

HHFAC says OOS <cries> <realises can't justify Β£350 anyway>

Oh well. That's decided that. I wasn't going to buy it at Β£350 anyway.

gianfrancogorgonzola · 07/10/2026 10:24

HHFAC says OOS <cries> <realises can't justify Β£350 anyway>

I know , I was debating to buy another one and now all gone . That’ll teach me you can’t hang around with these calendars .

Advententhusiast · 07/10/2026 10:35

I absolutely detest it when companies only have proper discounts in TikTok shops forint you to install it. No thanks

Thelifeofawife · 07/10/2026 10:38

DidILeaveTheGasOn · 07/10/2026 10:29

I think this is the first BAC I’ve seen you reject; is this a cry for help? πŸ˜…
I think it’s a decent range for the reduced price, but still a no from me.

Since I ordered The White Company one, it has filled me with excitement, despite it being for the home rather than for me. I did also get the Laneige one but that was more due to me liking a few of their products already and knowing I can gift some of the lip products, so it will likely be opened as a whole rather than an advent.

If I can get SFAC I will, and the main SNK at a discount, but other than that I’m pretty happy with my haul. Harrods BAC is my main one, and I have CB which I’ll probably open as a Jadvent

OvaHere · 07/10/2026 10:38

Got a delivery slot for BT between 5 and 6pm. Was hoping it would be a lot earlier. I wanted to take some nice photos in the daylight.

I suppose I should be grateful it's arriving.

Advententhusiast · 07/10/2026 10:41

Off to Selfridges, going to smell some fragrances in the FAC. Will ask if they know anything for tomorrow

Can you ask them about store availability? I'm going to Selfridges on Friday. Obviously hoping to get one online but if I don't I'm hoping they might have some in store (this is very wishful thinking). πŸ˜„

Beautyfox · 07/10/2026 11:10

MrsDahliaTravers · 07/10/2026 09:58

I've got a 20% off at SNK and not sure whether to get the calendar or not, can't decide πŸ€” It makes it Β£220.

Can you get it to work in the calendar? They sent me 15% off and it doesn’t work.

Thelifeofawife · 07/10/2026 11:12

I need to spend Β£799 at SNK by February to remain Deluxe, it’s a bit difficult when their BAC is so expensive and they haven’t released a FAC! (I’m still convinced that their luxe AC was actually supposed to be a FAC, as the box is the same as last year, though a different pattern)
My birthday is February, hopefully I’ll get my gift early before my status drops

MrsDahliaTravers · 07/10/2026 11:12

@Beautyfox Yes it works and brings it down to £220 😊

Beautyfox · 07/10/2026 11:16

MrsDahliaTravers · 07/10/2026 11:12

@Beautyfox Yes it works and brings it down to £220 😊

Well the 15% off one doesn’t. I’ve tried in the app and online and it says it doesn’t work with my basket. Have you had a 15% off email before? I’m wondering if I wait it out if they will send me a 20% off.

DidILeaveTheGasOn · 07/10/2026 11:22

It’s weird isn’t it @Thelifeofawife πŸ˜‚I do think shopping my stash last night has put me off shopping for a couple of days.

MrsDahliaTravers · 07/10/2026 11:26

@Beautyfox I don't remember getting a 15% off before. I think this might be a we miss you 20% off!

SoloCat · 07/10/2026 11:27

I think SNK have deteriorated since the Ulta deal, maybe before that. I know they’ve opened loads of new shops and trying to line up with more of an influencer type vibe. I just miss the grown up store it used to be, I absolutely hate their new review harvesting, what’s the point of having reviews of people that have been gifted things, most will give a good review to enable future freebies.
Ignore my moaning…just miffed at how disappointing their BACS are this year 😬

They obviously don’t miss me as much because they only sent me 15%. πŸ˜‚. It looks like the code is defective because even if I just put a single item in the basket like a foundation it still doesn’t work. I’ve emailed CS who will
probably get back to me in 3 weeks

MrsDahliaTravers · 07/10/2026 11:29

I have £10 in rewards to use too, so would bring it down to £210 🫣
