Unless you are very lucky, its all over. When you buy a greetings card now, and ask for a £15 gift card for £10 , which is the offer, they give you a different gift card to the normal ones, at the moment the ones they are giving out expire in June, and also they say in the terms and conditions on the back that they cannot be used to buy certain items, including other gift cards - and sure enough,if you try, till says no. Some SAs may still give you the normal gift cards, until they get properly trained... Oh well, it was fun while it lasted , that's for sure!

I would say keep trying, I went last Sunday and used gift cards to buy stamps, phone top ups and loads of gift cards with gift cards, young SA was very accommodating, said I could choose any style smiths gift cards I wanted However tried yesterday and was told no to everything :cool: just depends who you get, I will definately be trying again this weekend

a quick question,

has anyone had trouble adding on cc points to your cards since the weekend?

My mother tried to add some of her points on to her card on sunday, i've told her you can only add on 2 receipts and have to be in date by 2 weeks, but when she went to CS she was told that the policy has changed and now you can't add on any points unless the sa forgets to ask for your clubcard at the till and your still in the store and sa confirms that you just made the purchase!!

I told mam that was rubbish but thought i would ask if anyone was told the same this week?

Just looking at my emails and there is one from WHS lol 20% off everything in store (including greeting cards)

Is the gift card advertised or do I have to ask for it?

I usually take a greeting card to the till and ask if the deal is still going where you get the £15 gift card for £10, when they say yes and ask for payment, I give the gift card to pay. If they take it, I then usually say "that's a good offer , do you mind if I go and get some more birthday cards?" they usually reply with "of course not" so I then go and grab another 5 cards, pay gift cards for them and then ask if I can go and get some more and so on and so on :rotfl: :rotfl:

hi....yes the offer is still on, and the giftcards they are giving out are the promotional ones expiring on 30th June (these were supposed to be used all along throughout the deal but staff weren't aware).....but H/O have apparently decided that you cannot use a giftcard to buy a giftcard - HOWEVER....if you get lucky with a nice SA you can still use the giftcards to purchase another giftcard - the till wont say no...thats up to the SA to decide whether to do it or not.

Its still working in one of my locals and was working on Saturday in another store too....the till will allow you to purchase a giftcard using a giftcard...its the SA that may refuse.

good luck!
