One4All Cards

HelenDotty

Any tips please on how to get rid of these annoying One4All cards?  I have several and have made many attempts to spend them but to no avail as difficult to use as part payment.  Good idea in theory but have found them the most frustrating to try and spend.  Any advice most welcome, thank you.

Yes, they are annoying. I got 20% off face value but frustrating to actually redeem.
I used the bulk of mine in one of the pizza chain restaurants, and part payment is accepted in Asos online.

I feel your pain! Best idea I can think of is to use the Boots self service machines that accept cash. Work out how much you'd have to pay in cash to cover the full amount, pay that in, then change the payment method to card and use your remaining balance on the one4all card to pay the remainder.

They are a real pain to use as part payment, you often have to pay the cash first and then use the one4all card for the remaining balance - depends on the till system for that store. Some will allow to you take the card first, you have to know the penny what the balance is, any attempt to take 1p more than the balance results in a decline, and the store has no access to the current balance.

If you know which retailer you are likely to use, the swap.one4all.com website is useful - you can turn your one4all card into an e-voucher for a specific retailer, this way you can use more than one for a transaction online if you have a few cards, also extends the validity period and avoids that awful monthly service charge after 18 months.
