Love2shop vouchers limited places to spend

Posts: 6 Forumite
While Love2shop have quite a few places that accept them the range is not brilliant.
We had quite a few hundred pounds worth and ideally wanted to use them at a big supermarket but none of the big supermarkets accepted them.
What we found, and have done today is spend them in Argos and buy the generic Visa gift card, options of £25 and £50, but they have a loading charge of £2.95 and £3.95 respectively. Yes it cost us changing for the £50 card and an extra 8% but they have a promotion on where spend £100 in store and get £10 voucher back.
Just have a look at the argos website, sorry as a new member I can not yet post links
So for each £100 (2x£50 Visa card) it cost us £107.90, but Argos gave us a £10 voucher. So we have the flexibility of a pre paid Visa card and are in profit with the vouchers.
And we are about to buy a freezer from Argos with all the vouchers we got today
