Update on KINGFISHER GIFT VOUCHERS
Flogistics -- a Woolworhs Group company issues the KINGFISHER GIFT VOUCHERS (KGV's) Woolworths Group (and therefore Flogistics) is NOT in administration.
Woolworths PLC which owns UK stores IS in Administration.

Woolworths actually gave cash for them without any purchase, yesterday -- Christmas Eve.
They cannot give credit, so HAVE TO return cash.

Ask for store manager if any problems.

Neither Bent&Questionable (A KINGFISHER GROUP Company!!) nor Comet (Ex Kingfisher Group) will accept KGV's

Someone mentioned at the start of this thread that Kingfisher will be back in business this year.... is there really any chance of this? And if so, would they still honour their old vouchers? (the B&Q, Comet, Woolworths ones)

Also I have seen in several places that Flogistics is the company that issued the vouchers and they are still in business according to the companies house website.

So could people with vouchers bring Flogistics to the small claims court? If reports are correct there are up to £10million worth of these vouchers still outstanding so many people are still out of pocket.

About 11 minutes in....more on Gift Vouchers...more stores are not accepting them (Zavvi still don't).

Viyella is the latest not to.

instead of vouchers or cash we've got into the Amazon wish list habit - a habit I am sure Amazon are thrilled about! It's a very clever way to get folks loyalty I think, and I do use wish lists on a couple of other sites too to remind myself what I want as you can save them and then come back to them to see if that really is something you want!! All of us in the family who are online keep our lists up to date so each bday or Christmas it makes life very easy for those who prefer to give a pressie than cash. The slight downside is it is not always the cheapest option anymore, though more often than not the price is pretty competitive. We've got friends and family scattered about the globe so it makes for easy buying when they are in an Amazon-friendly country too.

BUT what I'd love to know is are there any reliable listings for Amazon money off offers as I have trawled a few lists online and the promos are really restrictive. Do they just not need to bother I wonder?

I also have my Amazon wishlist. Because I feel Amazon will actually go from strength to strength, I save and use Amazon vouchers and am working hard to buy the entire contents of my wishlist.
