Buying Tescos vouchers from E-Bay for Virgin Holiday

Hello, We are about £200 worth of vouchers (£800 in money) short for a holiday we like in the Virgin catologue.

My question is, if I purchase vouchers from somebody selling them on E-Bay and they change these into Virgin vouchers, can I use them for my holiday.

Many thanks

    I'm pretty sure that you can't,

    because holiday deals come with your surname written on them

    Nope they come with the sellers surname on i'm afraid so unless you have the same name you can't use them.

  • No you can't - surname and postcode must be the same
  • So if i were to use my mums i could use them? We have the same surname and most of my stuff is registered at her address still
