Thanks Jake,
that was very useful, have just written the new prices on my size chart.
Just one question: is the last price £4.25 for packets correct? That would be a price that's gone down.

Hiya fellow money savers

Printed out the WHSmith voucher and went to the branch in Coventry, only to be told that they would not accept a fiver spent on stamps. She put my Clubcard through her till and it did not register any points.

Surely it is not the stamps but the amount you spent that gets you the 200 Clubcard points. Felt fobbed off by that, so talked to another person upstairs who said it was in the general T&Cs (which they didn't show me and I should have insisted on).

As pointed out by Martin, some branches accept stamps with voucher, some don't and I think WHSmith need to decide which one it is to be.

The only thing worth having from that shop and they are being difficult.

Any advice would be appreciated and cheers for the reminder re postage - forgot all about it. Thanks.

I used a voucher on a load of stamps in bognor regis whs with no problem at all. Guess its dependant on the stores?

arent stamps legal tender?

Whether or nor you could get 34p for them, they are not a legal tender (which has quite a strict definition)

Having visited WHSmith in Scunthorpe yesterday, I can confirm that they do not accept the voucher for stamps. I bought 12x 1st class and 12x 2nd class, total was £6.XX. I handed over the voucher but it was refused. Just checked the WHSmith website and it states:

Are there any restrictions?
Points will not be awarded on and cannot be redeemed against, purchases of gift vouchers, charity products, stamps, National Lottery products, phonecards, book tokens, theatre tokens, tobacco, cigarettes and certain other goods that may be notified from time to time.

Nice idea Martin, close but no cigar. Still saved money on the stamps, so it's not all bad.
