    My granddaughter is 11 years old and getting very interested in makeup having been a devotee of Clinique for years I want her to take care of her skin. I wondered if you ever do promotions with suitable products. Her birthday is in December so I am trying to plan ahead.
    Thank you l hope you can help.

      Brown Thomas often mirrors Harrods and Fenwick over here, Harrods bonus I think is coming up end of the month. I usually do a haul once a year and travel to Harrods especially as the bonus gifts are a lot bigger than those given out Boots, John Lewis etc.

    Travelled round trip of 50 miles on 8th July to House of Fraser Metrocentre only to be told tgat bonus time doesn’t start until 9th July. Your info doesn’t say that bonus time is not available in all House of Fraser stores. Misleading and promoting travel ti stores when not necessary. Disappointed 😥

    I can see that you have mentioned Debenams as being the current store with Clinique Bonus time (12th May- 25th May 2020) but I cannot see this mentioned on their website anywhere and also, not sure if you have noticed but Debenams and House of Fraser both appear to have very limited stock of Clinique products, I can’t even find their standard most popular 3-step for sale, have you heard of this from other people or experienced this yourself?

    I have a leaflet with a Free Clinique Gift offer.
    The leaflet says it’s available online but when I go online it says it’s only available in store.
    Considering the government guidelines are to stay at home, stay safe and save the NHS I am amazed that you are encouraging people to go to the shops.
    This would not have been deemed necessary travel or shopping for essential items
    The offer was only available until today (4 April) so I I have now lost out on this.

    Really disappointed when I wanted to buy Clinique products from John Lewis online when the last Bonus Time offer was on. You could only buy bundles that John Lewis had put together, none of which I wanted. If you chose your own products, even if you met the criteria for a gift, you didn’t get one. Won’t be doing that again.

No email notification or offer to replace the missing product. Boots are misrepresenting the offer & I didn’t even get the 6 products on the standard bonus as they only put 5 in. NEVER ordering online bonus again. All they did was apologise & now I have to spend £17.50 🙁 Rubbish

    I went through the online chat and explained My normal foundation is Cream Chamois even better and asked what the equivalent is to this in the new even better glow so I can try this. Your Charline assistant was useless and took a very long time to come back and tell me to buy the same shade in the new glow. I spend ages trying to find this online then went to store to be told this shade didn’t exist. Thanks for wasting my time I have been a very loyal customer for over 25 years buying no other skincare or foundation and I honestly do expect (and have always experienced) better.

      If you check the previous promotions you will see that the next GWP will most likely be at Debenhams (early October, like it was last year). Bonus time at Harrods was from 20 Oct last year, so you can expect the start around this date.

    I bought 2 skincare items from Jogn Lewis on 2nd September which was the last day of their bonus time. I did not receive my free gift with my order. I contacted them to be told that they must have been out of stock! I would have held off and ordered from elsewhere to get my bonus time if I had been informed at the time. Is there any way of getting my gift if i can supply proof of purchase?

    Hello.

    I purchased two skin care items at my local boots today (pep-start exfoliating cleanser and pep-start blue moisturiser) £41 in total and I did not receive the current promo gift. I did not think about it until I returned home and I thought I qualified. Is this correct?

    I can provide a receipt copy to prove I did not receive the item (I am aware that these promos normally have to be processed through the till system)

    I visited the Boots in Broughton Park – Chester Rd, Broughton, Bretton, Chester CH4 0DP

    I look forward to hearing from you

    With kind regards

      Why are you expecting this website to reply re this ?

      This isn’t Clinique, it is a website about Clinique, and, more specifically, Clinique Bonus Time, so shoppers can maximise their purchasing – the poor lady running this website does a cracking job of informing consumers, and you would be better contacting Boots or Clinique.

          I don’t run this site but I think I can answer your question.

          Boots haven’t had a Bonus Time recently. The current Bonus Time is on the Clinique.co.uk website, so you have to make your purchases online from the Clinique website to get the Bonus gift. The lady who runs this site will let us know when the next Bonus Time is on at Boots.

    I placed an order with John Lewis yesterday and when I checked out I was not given the option to obtain the bonus time gift set. Customer services said that my order did not qualify for the bonus time gift set. However, on checking the Clinique Bonus Time Website I should be entitled to the gift set as I ordered two skincare products. I have been buying Clinique for 33 years. Very disappointed.

    I have sensitive skin and buy Clinique products as they are excellent value – however could I request the bonus gifts include colours of lipstick or eyeshadow that can be used on darker skins. The colours tend to suit lighter ladies – I am african and can never use the the lipsticks or shadows – you must have colours that are applicable to all.

    As per your email with Clinique bonus time at house of fraser – you offered a full size make up remover when purchasing a third item. I went into House of Fraser Milton Keynes to purchase three skin products and was told that if I had received this offer that they were sorry they couldn’t give me the make up remover as they never received stock. I was not even offered an alternative. I have been a customer of Clinique for aboutt 20 years (In South Africa and UK) and was shocked at this service. The ladies were lovely and not fault to them at all – but the fact that there was no alternate item for the mess up. Please can someone respond. Kind regards.

    Hi I ordered the Clinique sonic cleansing brush online worth £79.00. My package arrived yesterday and there was no bonus time gift (Online qualifier: yours free when you spend £50 or more on Clinique products) and no other free gift (and get something EXTRA: with every 3rd purchase (instore) or with £65 spend (online) you will receive a full size Take The Day Off makeup remover (a £17 value). Free shipping is when you spend £50+.) as quoted above. I rang up to ask where they were and the person I spoke to said that I woud only qualify for the gifts if I had a recognition card. This is clearly not stated anywhere above, and as a result I will now be returning this item to yourselves and you you will lose the sale. I would appreciate any comments you may have regarding this mix up.

    from Clinique. It is a scam and a con from a company that goes by the name Find Beauty and Truth and
    I almost fell for it. They get your bank details for post and packaging, but you find later that you have
    given them the opportunity to keep charging £69.00 a month, an absolute con, please be aware of this,

After some days I checked the website again and I saw “with purchase of any Clinique bundle” note there and I have updated this page. very sorry that you had such a experience, always check the shopping bag if the gift was added.

However, I post only regular bonus times (happening nationwide, not only in one store in one city).

    Hi I am one of clinique client since I was 18. I am 42 years old and always using clinique for 24 years it was such my happiness that everytime i buy clinique products i always get my free gifts. I was just gutted when I bought my serum last month which cost me £69 and ahe just gave me 2 mousse wash and 2 sample foundation in a tiny little tub. I was desperate to buy my serum as I have no more time to buy somewhere as im going away and dnt want to miss days without applying them. I was really gutted i have not received my free kit. I bought my clinique serum at Boots aituated at Trafford Center in Greater Manchester UK.
    I would like to ask if thongs like this will I still redeem my free gift as I love to have them.

    What is going on with the recent Bonus Time at Harvey Nichols ? ( Liverpool in my case) Demand massively outstripped supply. As a lifelong Clinique customer I always look forward to Bonus Time – it seems bad marketing to promote this more generous than usual gift, then run out of stock . Poor management from Clinique & Harvey Nichols. I welcome your response to this complaint.

    I visited Harvey Nichols in Leeds to replenish my favourite dramatically different moisturising lotion and deep comfort body lotion with pumps while bonus time was on, specifically to also have the small sizes for a forthcoming short trip. I was most disappointed to arrive home and open the gift bag to find only 4 of the promised products including half a bottle of dried up nail varnish! The small bottle of moisturiser, wanted for my flight of Friday was one of the missing items. This is very poor service and not what I would expect of either Clinique or Harvey Nichols!

    There seems to have been lots of different Bonus Time offers over the last few months but none of them have been for men. Please can you advise when and in which stores we can expect the next men’s offers.

    Hi
    Can you please answer as to why is there such a big difference in the bonus time gifts that are offered at Harvey Nichols, Harrods etc as compared to Boots and House of fraser. The ones offered in Harrods etc are so much better despite the fact the customers are paying same price for your products in every store. Please make it fair for all by offering same bonus time nationwide.I really hope you will not disappoint us and will be offering same bonus time gifts in all stores.
    THANKS

    To ehom it may concern,

    I have been a clinique customer for about 10 years now. Today I popped in to House of Fraser to get my bonus clinique present with the purchase of my must haves: the anti blemish foundation and deodorant. I have been refused the gift as none of the items are considered asskincare. Nevertheless, the online store still offers me a gift for the purchas of foundation and deodorant.
    Please advice why customers are treated differently online?

    Kind regards,
    Darja

    Is it possible to buy a clinique gift voucher for foundation and one other item and still qualify for the gift. My son wants to surprise his wife but obviously doesnt know the best foundation for her

    Your website mentions a spécial offer at John Lewis but the offer on John Lewis website is different, more restrictive (2 skincare products instead of one plus other) and fewer freebies. Can you please explain what to do to get the offer you mention?
    Thank you

      The offer may differ store by store, as well as from the online offer. I believe the mentioned gift on my website can be obtained in-store. And yes, you are right with the new restrictions, I will make an update…

    Hello, I have been a Clinique customer for more years than I care to remember but am becoming frustrated at the lack of availability of products at in store concessions during Bonus Time offers.
    To-day I visited John Lewis, Newcastle where I intended to purchase blended face powder and dramatically different moisturising lotion. They had the latter but not the colour powder I required. I left without making any purchase and instead went to Boots where I made the necessary purchase minus my freebies.
    Last month I had a similar experience at Fenwick, Newcastle for their Bonus Time when they did not have any dramatically different moisturising lotion in a tube.
    Surely these items are very basic and concessions should be well stocked up for their respective Bonus Time. I am not sure how things work between Clinique and in store concessions but if possible I would be obliged if you can investigate. I await your reply with interest.

      Unfortunately, Grace, Clinique cannot stock infinite amounts of products. And they have no way of predicting what may or may not sell well during bonus time.
      Some stores go as far as to triple their stock of popular items during bonus time, however this still doesn’t rule out any chances of things being out of stock. One day they might sell 10 Dramatically Different moisturisers, then they might not sell one for 3 days, then they might sell 30 in an hour.
      it would waste money, space and time if Clinique were to order excessively.
      Most stores should have an order terminal, where you can order your products that are out of stock and they will be delivered to store for free, the next day. You would still be eligible for your bonus bag and it means you rarely ever have to worry about it being out of stock.

      I hope this helps, Grace.

    The Bond Street store Fenwicks ran out of mild face wash and toner so I couldn’t buy anything! And they told me they were closing the offer a week early. Not impressed.

      Exactly the same has happened to me! And the sales assistant was not helpful at all i.e. she didn’t even tell me when and if they’ll replenish the stock & instead tried to sell me the face wash for oily skin! Like I could change skin in front of her?? Not impressed as well.

        They tried that with me! And tried to tell me to use the bar soap (which doesn’t suit me) then told me to buy from Fenwicks website even through that isn’t a transactional website! I emailed them but all they did was ask for a description of the sales assistant so they could tick her off!

    I was told by the Monument London H 0f F store that the free gift was not applicable to the purchase of two mens skin care products. I feel this is wrong as it doesn’t state that on any promotional material.

      That’s not true Catherine. Clinique HoF staff probably keeping all those freebies for themselves and then selling them off on Ebay! I always buy 2 deodorants for my husband and have the choice of either a male or female gift but I only buy from JLewis or Boots

    If they are advertising the bonus yet no stock – they are. Reaching ‘advertising standards authority regulations’. Send them a quick email and it will stop as brands/stores are scared of them (but invisibly don’t care for the consumer!)

            I also received an email from Debenhams stating the bonus gift was out of stock and no longer available, below is the email, but from your email it was available so I wonder why I didnt receive it with my order

            Dear Mrs Arnold,

            Thank you for your email.

            I am sorry to learn that the Clinique free gift was not added to your recent order 700003399812.

            We strive to ensure that all customers? orders are shipped with relevant free gifts. However, during busy periods like the ongoing sales, this may not be possible due to stock availability.

            I am sorry to advise that the free gift is currently out of stock, and will not be sent out with your order. The free gift is out of stock if not added to the shopping bag.

            Kind regards,

            Pramod

      Because we pay twice the price for the original products! What is $15 in the US is £15 over here. I always stock up when I fly to the USA or send a shopping list with visiting family of four my brother to bring when he flies back. And if that’s not possible I make sure that I get my bonus time gift!

      That’s because some customers are literally so greedy asking for so many samples, when I worked there we hardly got any in store so only give them out when we genuinely had a recommendation for a customer. Samples are very expensive for the company to produce- that’s what bonus time is for.

    I have been to 3 Clinique stores in in Holloway, Brent cross fe wick and Brent Cross john Lewis to enquire the samples to try for my over sensitive skin. Each assistant refused to give any samples for me to try before buying in case of a flare up and then said we are not given any sample.
    It’s better I go to my usual helpful Christion Dior counter if I ever need any make up.

      Dear N. Ahmed

      If you can get to a House of Fraser I have found their counters to be a bit more inclined to give a small sample, even if they don’t have pre-packaged one’s you can ask them to take from the tester in a small plastic container, which they do have. Failing that-I can’t speak to John Lewis-but if you purchase a product and it causes irritation just take it back to HoF and get your money back.

    I went to Harvey Nics last Friday to buy my clinique to be told there was no gift as they had sold out. As you walk into the Beauty section of Harvey Nics there is a massive promotoinal space for Bonus time. Whats it all about? How can you run out of a promotional gift yet still be advertising it as available. I’m afraid I walked out and didnt buy!
