Free school meals vouchers

caroline231

Hello, 
I am wondering if anybody knows if change is given if the full value of the vouchers isn't redeemed in one transaction? 

To clarify, these are the centrally allocated (Edenred) vouchers, not typical supermarket ones)

Many thanks!!

In particular:

5. Do I have to use the full value of the eCode when choosing my eGift card(s)?
Yes – your balance will be visible on the webpage.

6. Can I choose to redeem my eCode at more than one supermarket?
You can mix and match different supermarket retailers within the same order, provided the total value you’ve chosen for each is equal to total value of the eCode you’ve entered. For example, with a £10 eCode, you could choose £5 for Tesco and £5 for Sainsbury’s.
Simply enter the value you would like to order on each supermarket eGift card and your balance will update so you know how much you have left.
Please note that the full value of the eCode needs to be redeemed in one transaction, you cannot redeem a partial value of the code and save the rest for later
 Most supermarkets accept multiples of £1 per eGift card, however some other supermarkets have larger fixed amounts that can be ordered, e.g £10.
