You can exchange one4all gift cards for vouchers

[Flamango]

Hi, just to let you all know if you get one of the dreaded one4all gift cards for Christmas, you can exchange it for a voucher at lots of shops

Thanks for @PigeonPigPie for this tip about 2 years ago! My SIL is addicted to these bloody things and I can now just exchange them for lovely JL vouchers.

How do you do this??

Thanks

Just click the link and it explains how x

I have sooo many of these things, really hope I can change them all!

I’m confused. Why do you need to? Just use the card surely? It’s t(e gift card I don’t dread receiving as it’s valid so many places.

They lose value over time so don't hang onto them for too long.

Thank you! I also have an obsessed relative who always gives us these and they never seem to bloody work properly to do a split payment online! I never want exactly £10, £15 or £20 of things from anywhere!

They’re an absolute pain in the arse! Dh gets a substantial amount from work as a gift, I’ve had various ones as gift, but by god are they user unfriendly.

Thanks OP

Thank you

I’ve got a love2shop one which is equally irritating. I’d love £50 to spend somewhere I want to. Instead it’s shops I don’t use or heron foods!

Yes this is the issue. They seem like a good idea but the reality is you can’t use as part payment online (unlike any other gift card I’ve come across!) and you have to know how much is on there to use in store and it costs money to text and find out what the balance is. And if not used for X Period of time the balance starts to decrease.

They're ok to use in person but almost impossible to use online without swapping to a voucher because you have to spend exactly the same or less than the value on the card. Plus they lose their value if you don't start spending them in the first year (I think) whereas evouchers don't.

Oh dear I just brought one of these for someone.
But they can use in person!!?

I always buy an M&S voucher with any that I get. At least that way you don't need to remember exactly how much is on it.

How do you swap for vouchers? I have a voucher from work for £150 but I want to swap to John Lewis and put it towards an iPad. Has anyone done it recently?

Yes you can go to JL to exchange for vouchers directly or use to buy JL vouchers in a different shop.

@modgepodge that's not true. They have a website and you can check your balances for free on there by inputting card number.

Thank you. The one4all website isn’t allowing swap for vouchers currently so wondered if you could swap in store

And I agree, awful vouchers. So difficult to use!

Aargh I have just gone into WHSmith and been told they won’t allow “voucher swaps”. Wondering if this is a general thing @Namechangedforspooky

i’m annoyed if so because I’ve promised my kids I’ll exchange the ones they got for Christmas for gaming vouchers

I hate these cards.

they always go to waste n our house.

It says that this service is unavailable?!?

Does anyone know what I can do with the cards?!?

I’m surprised by many of these comments. I’ve used them for years- in actual shops. There’s no problem at all if you know what the balance is which you can check for free online. If you have less then the item costs you tell the til person ie £10 item, you have £8.16, they will deduct that and you pay the remainder how you wish. Simples!

I use them in shops too, @Hadsuchahardday , but it’s stupid that you have to know. The till must be telling them - they aren’t taking your word for it.

Though this is a zombie thread so not sure why you resurrected it.
