Favourite gift card?

[TinselTitz]

If someone was to buy you a gift card, what one would you prefer?
Would you prefer somewhere you shop regularly or for more of 'treat yourself' place?

I'm trying to gather as many options as possible/the most popular!

Merry September!

I prefer an Amazon gift card 😄

John Lewis

A ‘treat yourself’ kind of place. If it was Amazon or John Lewis, I’d probably end up spending it on the dc as I shop for them more often than myself.

Treat myself, so a clothes shop I like or a Bluewater voucher for variety. Like the pp an Amazon card would be frittered away for me sadly.

I would choose an amazon gift card because i love reading.

John Lewis, M&S or book tokens. I don’t shop at Amazon so end up offloading those onto someone else

I try to avoid Amazon where I can. Mine would be Waterstones, John Lewis, even though we don't have one in my City, Boots or M&S I think

Amazon

M&s, liberty of London or the local farmshop

Oh can I have a Book token please? 📚📖📕

Waterstones

As long as it doesn't require the recipient to travel anywhere they don't usually go, it should be all good.

I like a gift card for a meal somewhere local-ish.

Definitely NOT a One4All gift card- they are an absolute nightmare!

John Lewis. If you buy JLP gift cards in Sainsbury’s you can collect Necter points on the purchase.

This! It’s awful! A scam

I vote for John Lewis, M and S or Amazon.

Amazon for me, Tesco for my father, Sainsbury's for my sister.

Marks and Spencer for me!

I would appreciate anything, but I would choose John Lewis or M&S because I’m most likely to buy myself clothes or something nice for my home. But something like a massage voucher would be an absolute hit as well.

I’ve never been bought an Amazon voucher before but I won one once. Something that really pissed me off about it was that once I had opened it and added it to my account, it was automatically used for my next order. Admittedly, I probably placed the order too quickly and didn’t look properly, but the fact that it defaulted that way annoyed me. I think I ended up spending it on cat food 😂

This!

Amazon for me or cash. I’m put off others as shops regularly close down and I’ve also had a gift card with nothing on it. It wasn’t activated properly

Was coming on to say the same!

I hate gift cards… I’ve had so many which expired before I use them.

I will never buy another gift card unless online and sent by email.

there is a significant issue where people take the non activated cards, scratch the info panels, and replace them. When bought and money added they then can use them, and the recipient will find that their card has a nil balance.

happened to us with a £100 tesco card and took weeks to resolve. Also an m and s card.
