Buying vouchers in WHsmith with their own vouchers.

Options
Hiya!
I think this is the best place for this question! I have a few vouchers for WHsmiths and I don't really need anything from there at the moment.
Does anyone know if they'd let me buy vouchers to other stores with WHsmith gift vouchers (the stands they have with New Look, Arcadia gift cards on).
Many thanks for any replies :)

    I'm pretty sure that you cannot exchange vouchers for other vouchers, it's usually something that is explained in the T&C's on the back of the voucher. I could be wrong, but have a look.

  • My daughter used to work part-time for WH Smith before she went to Uni. She is home now, and she is adamant that you can do what you are asking. She suggests approaching a "younger" SA, as the older ones tend to be a bit red tape. She also says that you can buy lottery tickets, cigarettes or postage stamps. You can have your paper vouchers transferred onto a gift card, which enables you to only, say, spend a pound at a time.
    We could all learn a little something from the weather. It pays no attention to criticism.

    i had a £20 whsmith voucher that i wanted to change for 4 x £5 ones and they let me (they were for gifts for people), so i wouldnt see it being a problem.
