    Not sure if this is the place to post for this so feel free to move mods if needs be.

    Basically we get a bonus from work every year coming up to Xmas in the form of a One4All gift voucher. The last couple of years I've used it to get a virtual visa and do my Xmas shopping with but this year its a bit too close for comfort for delivery times so I was wondering, is there any way that you could manage to change the voucher for cash via the virtual visa? Or possibly PayPal or something? Because other than changing it over to the visa, I'd have bugger all use for the voucher.

    Thanks for any suggestions!

    Would you not just go to the shops to do your xmas shopping with it there?

    Argos take them, if you have one nearby, as do some Supermarkets.

    The shops are pretty limited in terms of who will take the vouchers AFAIK.

    Although the Argos suggestion above isn't a bad shout.

    You can exchange them for cash for a ~€8 fee. Read the t&c's and let us know what it states.

    I don't believe you're able to change them for cash, at all, to be honest.

    I was thinking something along the lines of buying a virtual visa for the amount. Then load the cash from that virtual visa into the Paypal account (don't know if that's possible) and then transfer to bank account.

    both M&S and Superquinn take them according to the one4all website, you could do your Xmas food shop in one of those?

    The shops are pretty extensive IMO

    You can attach a virtual visa to your paypal a/c and spend it through that, but you can't add funds to a paypal account using a credit card.

    Keep it for the post-Christmas sales, maybe?

    It'll be €250 more than likely.

    This is correct; from their T&Cs page, section 9

    So, if the OP had read the t&c's of the product, he'd have his answer and would not have to post here at all at all at all ?
