Unwanted M&S vouchers - what to do ??

misterjingles

I've acquired £110 in M&S vouchers through signing up with Sky & Orange. Thing is - I hate M&S, so vouchers as much use as a chocolate teapot. Is there any way of converting them into something more useful - for shopping in Argos maybe ??. Don't really want to sell on ebay due to sellers fees. Can I pay them onto an M&S credit card , Then use the card to shop elsewhere ?? :mad: :mad: :mad:

In case noone comes up with any brighter ideas have you tried their food section? Whilst not much of a fan of there clothes, I do love their food, especially the dine in for £10 as a treat.

Otherwise is there a family member who would like them for Christmas? (I come from a family that love M and S.)

Sorry if this is no help at all.

"What can I buy with my gift card?

Gift cards can be used for most purchases. Gift cards cannot be used to pay for M&S Money services, M&S Money products, M&S Energy or outstanding M&S Credit Card & More Chargecard balances. They are not accepted for Made to Measure shirts or large appliances."

Unfortunately looks like you can't buy items then get the cash refunded either - and take note of the 24 month (from last transaction) expiry date, if you decide to just use up the money on birthday gifts and so on then make sure you don't lose out by not using them on time.

Personally, I'd stick them on Ebay, even accounting for fees, at least you're converting them to something you can use - or at least try freeads like Gumtree etc. first. Could you offer them around work, or to friends and family?

Alternatively, while I can understand not being into their clothes, they do homeware and electricals too - is there absolutely nothing you could be tempted to buy from them?

Spend them over time in the food/wine dept.

They do fabulous food, save them for your christmas shop.

Convert them into appropriate amounts and give them people for Christmas?

Donate them to a charity to be used as a raffle prize?

Apparently ebay have free listings (meaing you only pay for the end fee which is around 10% of the end price) but it ends the 9th September- always check this with them first in case its just an offer sent to me only, also look through the terms and conditions to make sure there is no starting price required and so on and remember it does not include buy-it-now listings

Hi, agree with the other comments, but how about add £10 to them and use to buy ,for instance, 4 x £30 gift cards that you could use as birthday/christmas presents !

You can only do this if some 'cash' is involved.

You must like M&S food surely?? You could keep them til December and get your turkey, xmas pud, wine, etc with the vouchers. The food is pricey but lovely quality for a xmas treat seeing as you're lucky enough to have the vouchers.

You could also give them away bit by bit as gifts as and when xmas, birthdays, weddings, etc come around.

In truth, you probably think they are worth near face value, as you have already discounted ebay and they only want 10%. However, folk willing to exchange your vouchers for cash are not going to be willing to pay anywhere near face value.

If you get offered 70p in the £1 snatch their hand off. I tried to sell some a while ago and though people made offers at 70%, 80% etc, they were just dreamers and tyre kickers. When around 50% was all I was truly offered, I just used them myself.

I don't know how big the M&S is near you but there's one near me that sells furniture and things like cookware, bed sheets and duvets - things that you will always need at some point! Also agree with other postings - their food section must have something you could buy?

Send them to me, I am in desperate need of some new bras and M&S are the only place I can get them from :laugh:
