Original post -

Just saw an advert for this on ITV... Take in any toy and receive a free £5 gift voucher to spend before christmas eve. Tried to find the T&C's but it would appear the website/link isn't active. Anyone any ideas?

    Just found some more info on facebook (I don't have it) the link found in the article will be live tomorrow it will contain the T&C's. However there is speculation that each £5 voucher has to be used if you spend over £35 on toys :(

    PAP

    Edit. They are quoting the link I have but that say's min £5 spends, unless I am missing something?
  • Says minimum £5 spend online with link in first post.

    This is what the link says:

    From Wednesday 17 October, 'donation stations' will be in operation at around 740 Argos stores and 500 Barnardo's retail stores where members of the public will be able to donate unwanted toys in exchange for a £5 voucher towards the cost of new toys (minimum £5 spend), to be redeemed at Argos by 24 December. The initiative was launched in London, where celebrity mum and Argos Toy Exchange ambassador, Danielle Lineker, met with children from Northlands Park children's centre, delivered by Barnardo's, in Basildon, Essex
    :p Busy working Mum of 3 :wave:
  • This is what it says on Facebook:

    From tomorrow bring in your unwanted toys ...
    and we’ll donate them to Barnardo’s to help transform the lives of the UK’s most vulnerable children, and we’ll give you £5 off your next toy purchase over £35. What’s more we’ve got a Facebook competition to support the campaign and you could win yourself £100 worth of Argos vouchers and another £100 for Barnardo’s, check out the link here: http://on.fb.me/V54hT9
