    I was in Wilkinsons yesterday and they announced that they are no longer taking these vouchers.

    Hope other vouchers companies are not going to follow suit.

    i've never heard of choice vouchers before yesterday on the radio , a spokesman said shops WILL refuse to take them what you'll have to do is take them back to where they were bought& they will reimburse you for the full amount or give you a voucher to the same value for 1 specific shop in the promotion. only downside is only the person that bought them can return them, so if you got them as a present the person who bought them must return them. they did give an 0870 helpline number but i'm afraid i didnt take it down
    hope this helps in some little way
    all the best

  • Hi there,

    This must be the worst thing I have read on here. I have £100 Choice vouchers in my purse. Have only just bought them. I am really panicking as only turned computer on to see if Tescos offers have changed this week. Must go now got hospital appointment at 9.00 am. Really really worried.

    Oh you're joking.....ordered a choice voucher from a website a week ago. Luckily its only for £5 and am hoping that they can stop the order and put the points back on my account. This is annoying.

    I posted this last night http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/showthread.html?t=145344. We were informed to stop taking them at about 10 yesterday morning. I very much doubt if you will find anyone that accepts them now. Contact the company that sold them to you for a refund or exchange. The reason for the administration is because a major purchaser of the vouchers has not paid for them.

    Already have done molerat. I got the vouchers through doing some survey's so as such haven't 'paid' for them. Hopefully I won't have a problem and my points will go back on my account.

    I've got a voucher, also from doing surveys but I can't remember what company it was from. :confused:
    I'll have to check my survey emails to see if I can get a clue.
    Thanks for the tip off ms01ma

    Oh, no!
