Buy ikea gift card 20th -23rd December get extra 10% (instore only)

This is my first grabbit so hope its ok and not posted before!!

Was in ikea today and they had posters up advertising that if you buy a gift card from 20th-23rd December they will give you an additional card with 10% of the balance of the first for free.

Example on poster was:

buy a £50 gift card get an extra card with £5 on it:D

I had a good look at the posters and there was no terms and conditions other than instore only so this would be good for anyone thinking of a large purchase near christamas;)

    I dont see why not as it says its just a gift card, I have had more than 1 gift cards for other shops and they have let me put them all through. And there was no small print at all on the poster. I have not got time just now but will email them later to ask :)

    So basically go shopping on those days, load up your trolley, at the till buy as many gift cards as you need to cover whats on your trolley, then have them scan the trolley and redeem your gift cards as a second transaction. Only thing to remember is that if you take anything back, they'll refund you with store credit.
