Hi

Anyone know how to share  a gift card in your JamDoughnut account with Google Wallet? It's an Asda one.

Many thanks

    I bought an Asda one just a few nights ago and it seems to have changed in that I could no longer add it to G wallet.  I had to keep opening Jamdonut to redeem.

    Cheers for that quick response. I've tried sharing it via email but doesn't work. How did you do it previously?

    Thanks

    Well previously when I bought a gift card, when you opened it in JamD, a message came up on the screen ADD TO GOOGLE WALLET and I just pressed on the message and it done it.  It worked with Tesco & Asda but not Waitrose.  I've only bought Asda this year so far and its stopped offering to add it. Odd.
  • Thanks again much appreciated.
  • Just realised you can add a photo of the gift card and add to wallet that way. If you crop it correctly it will add all the details automatically. Will see how I go on with the bar code.

    Cheers

    Yeh didn't work. Asda scanners did not like it and dirty look from assistant when I said the gift card had come from a third party. Will have to stick with using the JamDoughnut app.

    Will update thread too if I figure something out.  Why change something that ain't broke?!!!!
  • Looks like this is Asda rather than the apps as I've just signed upto Cheddar as well and even though it says on their email you can send it to a wallet there's no option. Just had a better experience by using view in browser and going to landscape then zooming in a little. Such fun to be had.

    Yes something has changed with the lastest gift cards they are sending out.  If I go into my "archive" on Jamdonut where my spent cards go after use, when I open an old ASDA one, it allows me to add it to wallet.
