Unwanted Tesco Gift Card

    As a Christmas bonus of sorts we all received Tesco gift cards, usually we would receive One4All cards. This obviously restricts me to use the card in Tesco so I'm wondering is there any options to get the cash and use this elsewhere or even get a One4All instead? Anybody got any good ideas? Its for €250

    Tesco sells gift cards for a load of different retailers. Just buy some for somewhere like Debenhams or Argos or wherever suits

    Tesco sell gift cards for their competitors?

    Larger Tesco stores do yep, and you are able to purchase them with Tesco Gift Cards.

    Argos, Milano, Cineworld, Woodies, Lifestyle, River Island, Debenhams, Halfords off the top of my head..others too.

    Regularly "exchange" Tesco gift cards from Irishopinions.com for Argos ones in Jervis.

    yes, you could also buy itunes vouchers, phone credit, there were a couple of other ideas I saw in bargain alerts threads where people are using €20 off €100 spends and are stuck for stuff to buy. You might be able to buy smaller say €50 tesco vouchers and find some friend or family who would take them in smaller amounts. I do most of my shopping there so would have no trouble taking them off someone I know.

    I usually get one4all and would much prefer if I got tesco ones. They are usually in €250 amounts too as thats the tax break limit, so ask around mates at xmas and they might swop. I'd be wary swopping mine with a stranger.

    Small gift exemption limit is 500 as of last year; as tangental to the topic as that is.
