    Sorry tee pee not sure about Debenhams, but know that in Argos you just hand over your card and they swipe it and take balance off, so maybe worth a try at Debenhams and then if they don't accept it that way, telll them that's how Argos do it - maybe if you get a nice cashier she might be able to do something for you!

    Or it could be just a case of going to their customer services and them giving you the vouchers - anyway, if the sale is only on for a couple of days, it's worth a try or hopefully somebody else will come along on this thread and be able to help you more than I can!

    Good luck - really don't want you to get pneumonia - let us know how you got on :grouphug:

    Hi tee pee - just had a thought - isn't it that you can only EARN points at Debenhams, but can't SPEND them there - sorry, not what you want to hear

    Possible I was being a touch dramatic with the pneumonia bit, but it's been a long day ( and a cold one too)

    I see you have some help here, but I think the various expert voucher hunter gatherers on the Vouchers Board will be able to help you out here too, and so I'll move this thread across for you.

    Good luck :)

    As far as I know, you can use Nectar vouchers at Debenhams. HOWEVER, getting them is a bit of a hassle. :rolleyes:

    Until now, you could just go to your local Sainsbury's (your 'home store' or whatever Nectar call them) and ask them for your vouchers. (As posted by someone else, you don't need the actual paper vouchers if you're redeeming your points in Argos, Blockbuster or Sainsbury's.)

    However, this has now changed and you have to request them from the Nectar website (or by calling them) and they'll post them out, which is a bit rubbish -- no spur-of-the-moment shopping then. :(

    So, I'm afraid if the OP wanted Nectar vouchers by Friday, it ain't going to happen. :( Good to know for future reference, though... :o

    i recently when shopping in sainsburys (i hardly ever shop there) and the lady offered to see what vouchers i hado n my card. did she mean that she was going to redeem my nectar vouchers (which would have been bad as they're worth twice as much on adams) or that sainsburys offer different vouchers based on spending?

    These nectar vouchers are fuddling my brain. I was going to buy my coat cash tomorrow ( from debenhams ) and do my shopping at Sainsburys and pay with vouchers, but you have just put me off that idea, if they are not worth much there.
