OK success with Amex-Xbox Carphone Warehouse offer - they can do 'gift vouchers', they just don't look particularly gift-like! They instead print out a till receipt with the credit (not all sales staff seem to know how to process them as it's not a particularly common request!). They also sell £25 iTunes cards, but sadly Google Play Store cards aren't yet available in the UK. The voucher is showing valid until 2021!!

It's also worth noting that the terms and conditions say it also includes spending at carphonewarehouse.com

Don't forget you can also split a transaction. I bought the new Nexus 4 and split it 5 ways to get £125 off and less than Google are selling it for direct.

GAP has also gone through for the 2nd time.

Nice, didn't know splitting a tx was possible. Nothing I want just now (happy with my SGS3) so handy to have long expiry on the vouchers - unlike the stupid 6 months on Harvey Nics ones!

The Harvey Nics ones can be used for 6 months at all outlets, but indefinitely at the main London store (according to the gentleman there who sold me my vouchers). Might not be any help to you, in which case you'll just have to treat yourself before then At least that voucher was 'free' if you bought £25 worth

Interesting re. their London store. Yes, were £25 purchases so totally free - will just need to make a purchase in the next few months - oh what a pain

I know, its a tough job but we'll just have to try I've never had so many gift vouchers ever. I'm looking forward to sale shopping. My Amex could do with a rest!

I was told that if you don't use the voucher within the 6 month period - you can go before it expires and they will swap it, presumably meaning they will swap it for another set of gift vouchers giving you a further 6 months (this was in Manchester) - it was the manager that was serving me but I didn't ask to elaborate, I'm guessing you may need the original receipt and/or card you paid for it though.

Has anyone managed to get the AMEX specials to show with a windows phone? I've got a Nokia Lumia and can't get them to show up :mad:

I hooked OH mobile (PAYG) up to the home hub and installed fouresquare app and signed in with my foursquare details and the Amex specials were on there, could I check in to all the shops and load to card a few hours in advance, then go shopping? How long do they stay loaded to card?

Just booked a one-way flight just so I can take advantage of the Dixons Travel/Xbox offer

Sorry don't have access to a Windows Phone.

Once loaded I think they're active for the rest of the promotional period, although in fairness I've only really ever left it a couple of days between loading it and spending.
