Halfords eGift Cards from Zeek?

Does anybody have any experience with them.

At Zeek it says:

Zeek wrote:

eGift cards are delivered instantly to your Zeek wallet after purchase. Please read the brand info below for instructions on how to redeem your eGift card.

It doesn't surprise me that "the brand info below" doesn't say anything "on how to redeem", but at least it's obvious that it's some code, not a plastic card.

This implies that the only way of using their gift cards/vouchers is in-store. I called our local store about this and they were useless, that, again, is hardly a surprise for Halfords.

Also there is some promotion running ATM at Zeek that says in the T&C "Excludes purchases of gift cards sold at face value". What does this mean? Are Halfords cards excluded or not?

OK, I can answer my question now.

This Gift Card can be used to buy anything in store. It cannot be used online.

You will need to present the gift card number to the cashier. In order to redeem the cashier will need to key in the serial number.

Cannot be used in Halfords Autocentres.

The last 4 digits of your serial number contain the voucher's CVV

A very easy way to save 8% on in-store purchases at Halfords.

The above mentioned promotion helped to save extra £60 on £600+ purchase (split between two Zeek accounts), paid in full by gift cards.

TCB offer ATM £7 for joining Zeek.
