love2shop voucher help

Posts: 27 Forumite
I have a £25 love2shop voucher that I received online - so no physical card, just the code. I've had the voucher for several months now and cannot get rid of it no matter how hard I try. Every single retailer I'm apparently able to use the voucher at will not accept it. Online, I've tried Iceland, Argos, Boots, Wilko and several others -none of them have anywhere to enter the code online at all. In-store, I've been in to all of the aforementioned stores and all three have told me they can't accept the code without a physical card.
So this voucher seems to be completely useless to me, but I'm posting here in the feint hope I receive some useful advice! I've even contacted love2shop about it and received no reply.
And it's always been a mystery to me why people buy gift cards in the first place. You are basically saying: "I have money here, which can be spent anywhere - I want you to make it where I can only spend it in one shop or a handful of shops."

Do you have the number of a Love2Shop Gift Voucher? I wouldn't have expected that to be valid without the actual physical voucher.
Or do you have the number of a Love2Shop Gift Card (which is acceptable at fewer places, but possible spendable online if you have the correct number(s)).
These are two different things, you see.:heartpuls Mrs Marleyboy :heartpuls

I've used M&S giftcard codes and J.D. codes recently, no problem.0 -
Have you been to
https://www.love2shop.co.uk/
More specifically
https://www.love2shop.co.uk/activate-login-register
There are many references to a L2S E-CODE
and activating and registering them, and checking their balance
Furthermore there is this
View an accurate where to spend list
(Based on your card or e-code)
So maybe yours can only be used in certain places
Where did it come from? How did you "earn/win/buy" it?

I got the voucher code from Surveybods from a group discussion I took part in.
Thanks again.

Thank you for this - I will try this as soon as I get a minute and let you know how I got on! I wasn't aware I might have to activate the code as I've never had to do this with any other gift card/code ever before. However, so far I haven't even been able to reach a point where it's possible to enter the code on any of the sites I'd tried. This sounds like it could help though: "View an accurate where to spend list (Based on your card or e-code)"

IF you don't have any joy have you thought about contacting Surveybods for help?
Re removing the links - I was aware of the new user restriction but never thought about the issue of quoting a post of another user that had some in.
Does it "physically" prevent you from posting whilst the quote has them?There are 10 types of people in the world. ‹(•¿•)›(11)A104.28S94.98O112.46N86.73D101.02(12)J130.63F126.76M134.38A200.98M156.30J95.56J102.85A175.93

Yes, it wouldn't let me quote your post with the links in it.0 -
Just tried it... no luck.
"This card type cannot be added to your account - either try again, double checking the card information entered is correct, or call our Card Services Team on 0344 375 0739."
I'll give love2shop another two days to respond and then I'll contact Surveybods about it. If still no luck after that, I'll just delete the e-mail and write it off!
Quoia, thank you again for taking the time to write that post - I appreciate it.0 -
It's a 14-digit code which seems to be a code that is present on most giftcards you can use online. I've never had this problem anywhere else before with any other giftcards, but this is the first time I've ever had a love2shop voucher code, which just seems not to be accepted anywhere online at all.
I've used M&S giftcard codes and J.D. codes recently, no problem.
Erm .......
Is it a 14 digit ALPHANUMERIC code? Letters as well as numbers?
Possibly sent to you in the format XXXX-XXXXXX-XXXX ?
The only reason I ask is that I had a look at Surveybods to see what it's all about, and it says that your rewards can be "paid" to you as:
CASH - Paid into your BANK account (or PAYPAL account???)
or
VOUCHER CODES will be sent to you via EMAIL ........
....... for AMAZON
I've had some Amazon codes (14 characters) in the past that are like
E2E4-BUW987-1S4P

love2shop have replied to my e-mail asking for the code so they can investigate, so I'll let you know how it goes.
Thank you0 -
Apparently the code needed to be exchanged for a physical card. l received no mention of this and didn't see it on the love2shop website. They've sorted it for me now and are sending out a physical card for me. I've just received the order e-mail.
Thanks again!0
