    Love2Shop vouchers are owned by Park Group Plc (Park Christmas Savings). Park are a founder member of the Christmas Prepayment Association along with Variety Christmas Savings Club Limited.

    Furthermore, the Post Office are now a member of the Christmas Prepayment Assocation (CPA) also.

    All members must adhere to a strict code of practice and saving is very much improved for consumers.

    More details can be found here www.cpa-advice.co.uk


    Are they the company who own Park Hampers ? If so I hope they don't go the same way as Farepack Hampers, into administration, cause a lot of people lost money then.
  • I tried using my Kingfisher (B & Q /Comet / Woolworths) Voucher this morning at B & Q and they informed me that they are no longer accepting them.

    I find Love2Shop vouchers are great. Such a variety.
    Used some in Woolies yesterday. Total spend was £6.44 and I gave the guy £7 in vouchers. He said 'it's £6.44, don't you have the 44p?' to which I said 'oh that's ok, it's only a few pence' (I had picked up real bargains, so was ok with that). As I was waiting for the receipt, he opened the till, took out 56p, and said 'have the change-I don't care anymore!'
    Bless I felt so sorry for him!
    But back to the point...Love2Shop vouchers are my top tip

    There is an issue with change in most of the stores but he shouldnt have done that! If you were paying with vouchers you should get cash back now anyway, that was just plain rude. I work for Woolworths and just cause we are loosing our jobs, dont mean you have to be rude. Sorry just had to say something!! :-)

  • I had a kingfisher voucher, which i'd had for over a year....finally got round to spending it in B&Q a couple of weeks ago, glad i did it when i did!!

    i always get given those love2shop vouchers for various things that i can spend in loads of stores - if one of them goes bust i can use them in another - less risky than for the one shop.........

    No necessary. Tesco/Sainsbury is less likely to go down compared to issuer of Love2shop (Park Group). So, it depends.
  • Hi everyone

    Years ago I used to work in Superdrug and they were part of the Kingfisher group then, it was about 10 years ago so not sure now but it might be worth checking out??

    Sorry if this has already been mentioned?
