Pinecone Vouchers and Payment

in Boost your income
I just wondered if it's possible to change my Pinecone payment to money rather than vouchers... I got the impression some people did this.

Also, what exactly can I use the vouchers for? It says a 'bona fide meal' on the vouchers?!?!

Thanks :)

    They are Accor Luncheon Vouchers, you can google them for a list of shops that you can use them in, it's also listed on the booklet. Although some people here have said some places don't accept them. I am saving mine for Christmas so I don't know where I can/can't use them.

    I used my vouchers at asda towards my grocery shop but I have changed now and have the money paid into my papal account.

    Thanks :)

    So I don't have to just buy a sandwich or something?

    How do I go about changing it to money into my account?

    I received an email asking me if I wanted to change when they first started to use paypal.

    You can email Karen at [EMAIL="scott@pineconeresearch.co.uk"]scott@pineconeresearch.co.uk[/EMAIL] I'm sure she will help you change your method of payment.

    It will only be into your paypal account though, not your bank account.

    I use my vouchers at my local Tesco store to buy DVDs and have never been refused or had a query!

    I much rather it be paid into my paypal. I usually buy things on ebay with it and I feel as though I'm not actually paying for it.

    All the major supermarkets accept them - if you look inside the book there is a list. I tend to save mine until I can buy a DS game :)

    For those who get paid into their PayPal account - are you deducted a fee? Thats what put me off - don't fancy PayPal taking a cut.
