Expiry of Paper Love to Shop Vouchers

ThePeopleDirector

Hi all,

Has anyone had any luck getting an extension for Love to Shop paper vouchers?  Seems really unfair that my £350 of vouchers will become worthless at the end of March when Love to Shop can’t fulfil their end of the bargain by having shops open to spend the vouchers in (I know it’s not their fault but still seems they are going to profit of the back of COVID).

Thanks in advance.

Have you asked them for an extension?  What did they say?

Can you not spend them in any of the shops that ARE open ? As far as I'm aware Argos, Boots, Iceland  and Wilkos at least are still open...

Their Facebook page is telling people to send an enquiry through here.

Although they do seem to be telling people to spend them in the few shops that are still open. 

Is it worth looking at the shops that are open - Boots, WH Smith, Wilkinson’s, any others and seeing if friends/family who want things from there will buy some from you?
Even if it means stocking up on toothpaste, books and garden stuff for the next 12 months, better than losing it.

If you look on their website you should be able to see all of the places that accept them and then check which ones are open if you get no luck trying to gain as an extension. Worst case is do some early Christmas or Birthday shopping as the poster above has suggested!

I’m in the same position but to a much smaller extent (£16 I think it is). I found a review on Trustpilot where someone said that they transferred the vouchers onto an electronic card and so I contacted them about this. Unfortunately, they said they couldn’t do anything until after they had expired (when I’m guessing the response will be, too late, you should have contacted us before they expired).

I’m in Northern Ireland and so appreciate the lockdown rules might be different but the only place I would want to spend them is in Argos but I can’t because they are only offering pre paid click and collect.

Loads of places are open, if those places aren’t your cup of tea then take a 15% or so loss and sell them to someone.

...and just about every retailer has been open at some point during the period of validity of the vouchers.

Everywhere was back open for quite a few months last year at some point, you had a chance to spend them.

I'm not sure I understand the relevance (or helpfulness) of these two posts?  The facts are that the OP has not already used the vouchers and neither have they yet expired.  If the OP has chosen not to spend them before the latest lockdown, I think it's a bit unreasonable to suggest it's their own fault that they may not be able to use them before expiry.  Is there some kind of unwritten rule that vouchers have to be used at least six, or twelve, or 18 months before expiry, "just in case"?

No unwritten rules but with a pandemic on our hands it might of been sensible.
