Hi all,

I was given a £50 one4all gift card for my birthday last year and nearly 12 months on, I still have £5 left on it and I can't seem to spend it.  I know it's only a small amount, but I don't really want to waste it.  I spend £45 on it with Pandora online and am left with the £5.

I was hoping to use it on Amazon, but they are not on the list of accepted retailers.

Does anyone have any idea on what I can do with it please?  I don't think I can top up the card either. 

Thanks in advance.

    Hi, I did see a reply regarding using it on the Google play store, but the reply seems to have gone!

    Was going to say, I don't use the Google play store, as I have an iphone.

    You can spend in store with many retailers, Boots, M&S, Halfords, Waterstones to name a few, and there is a blue box with 2 arrows symbol on the on line retailers if they accept part payment.

    When you use it instore, do you have to activate a pin or something?  I have never used one instore before and I be able to use it for part payment?

    Have a look at their website, which gives a full list of retailers and explains how to use your card:  https://www.one4all.com/?gclid=CjwKCAiA8OmdBhAgEiwAShr4048457dciHR-JOHV31Xrfp0ebiieaEdggQr-gH-f84G6uvCiMwK90xoCIk8QAvD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds
    Googling on your question might have been both quicker and easier, if you're only after simple facts rather than opinions!

    Boots probably your best bet. I think you can also use it for part payment at Boots if you use the self service machines that accept cash. Pay in the amount in cash over your £5, then change the payment method to card and use the fiver you've got on your one4all card.

    Depends what type of card you got. Most of the cards have no PIN and don't need to be activated. Using the plastic cards can be a pain in the backside - generally easier to download their app and you can then use that to pay contactless with your phone, using your balance. You can add your physical card so you can use it in the app too
