Kingfisher group (comet, b&q, woolworths) vouchers suspended?

62rab

I few months ago I received £150 worth of Kingfisher vouchers from my employer as a long service award, These were valid at B & Q, Comet and Woolworths until this tuesday when Woolworths went into the hands of the administrator, I assumed being Kingfisher Vouchers these would still be valid at Kingfisher Group companies Comet and B&Q, Comet will not recognise them and say the vouchers are owned by Flogistics (part of woolies), I am awaiting an answer from B&Q.

I had only just received £200 worth on Wednesday to spend in comet, but they would not accept them. fortunately I was able to return them in exchange for Currys vouchers. I did contact Kingfisher vouchers this morning who said that Woolworths and B&Q were still taking them, but for how long!!!!!

I always spend vouchers immediately. I got some capital bonds and had two days to spend them before they went bust.

gghh

Capital Bonds have gone bust??? When was this?

I think you should check your facts as this is not correct. Capital Bonds are still in business and their vouchers are still accepted.

It appears only Comet have stopped honouring the vouchers at this time, as 2 B&Q stores I phoned will still take them, and the Woolworths branch said they were sure they were still valid.

I have used £20 of kingfisher vouchers in B&Q today, along with the 15% discount too. I did check with the cahier first and he said there was no problem with using them.HTH

Comet haven't been part of the Kingfisher group for over a year now. I used to work for them and I could use my discount card in Woolies and B&Q but that all stopped just before I got my first house ~ typical eh? :rolleyes:

I also used a £10 voucher in B & Q today - no problem at all.
