    I am not getting even this; just a message 'I am sorry, extension 6-4-1-6-8-0 does not answer'. I am then cut off.
    Reading the Express link, it seems to suggest a 2-stage redemption, to be achieved by 31 May - might be pushing things a bit?

    My reading of the instructions is that you have to apply by 31 May. I also think there will be a delay because after you phone, you will then have to send back the voucher and only then will they despatch the voucher.

    The tel line has just opened! I've just spoken to someone and they will give you an address to send the newspaper voucher to (must send back by 31/May). The 5 pound voucher will then be posted to us within 7 days.

    Sorry if this has already been explained but...... is there a minimum spend, or is it just a straight £5 voucher to spend?

    Also, is there a link to show which garden centres accept them ?
    Thought I might get a couple and give one to my old Dad - not much use if his local GC won't accept it!

    Thanks for any more information.

    Doesn't look like a conditional spend as it's a £5 Gardening gift voucher, which are a bit like book tokens and accepted widely at most garden centres.

    Follow the link to read more and then there's a click here to find your nearest one. Homebase take them.

    On the website, it says:
    You can use your HTA National Garden Gift Voucher against purchases of £5 or more on anything from bedding plants to garden furniture, the choice is yours.

    Many thank for all the useful replies.

    I checked my post code and my Dads - and the small garden centre in my village is listed, as is the Homebase near my Dads - so I think I may buy several copies of todays Express.....
    70p purchase => £5 voucher => BARGAIN:T:j


    p.s having re-read all the posts again.... Does each person have to phone and register their newspaper voucher, or does everyone just get given the address to send the voucher to?

    If the latter, would some kind person who has already phoned and got the address please post it here, and it would save everyone else having to phone in.

    Many thanks
