    Got a one4all card at Christmas. Whilst grateful for the gift I find these cards a pain in the neck !

    Is there any way that you can convert the card balance in to a lodgement to a post office or a bank account (not banking online) ?

    Sell it on Adverts.

    you can now convert them into Amazon vouchers which you might find more useful. Otherwise hold onto it until you need to make some big purchase.

    Not too sure, but I realised recently you can add them to your Amazon UK account if you want to spend them online. Quite handy.

    You can convert them to cash for a processing fee. Has to be done by phone, fee is currently €8.

    How do you do that?

    You can also load them onto a prepaid credit card and use it anywhere.

    How would one do that?

    I have 2 cards coming up on 12 months since issue that I'm not going to want to spend for a while, would this be the best option? I don't want the balance on them to start reducing

    It's not a particularly good option - the fee for converting to the other card is about 10% and they take a monthly maintenance fee as well.

    Could I use the two soon to be 12 months old cards to buy one new One4All card? At least that was it wouldn't depreciate monthly

    I never understand people's issues with these. You can use them in some supermarkets last time I had one. Why not do your shopping with them?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,673 ✭✭✭AudreyHepburn


    OP why can't you just go shopping with them, maybe buy yourself something nice to wear for example.

    Some of my favourite items of clothing and half of the books on my shelf were bought with One4All cards.

    It's beyond me why people have such problems with these cards - I love being able to treat myself!

    A limited selection of SuperValus mostly in Dublin - less than ideal

    Totally agree. It's a gift. Buy yourself something. There are shops I only ever visit when I have a one4all card. I buy books, clothes, shoes, car cleaning accessories, etc.

    We all need clothes, so buy some and use the money saved for the groceries.

    Thanks for the informative replies.

    Problem solved by my other half - she spent it for me :)

    Was just going to offer to help :D:D:D

    Was lucky enough to win one at work recently - didn't even make it home - straight into Debenhams to treat myself to some new clothes :D:D:D

    I've had loads of them as presents over the years and almost none of them will work, they always fail to read when scanned in. Tried many different places and usually end up topping up my amazon account.

    They dont seem to like been mixed up with other cards as it seems to mess up the magnetic strip.

    First of all apologies for bumping an old thread but Id just like to point out that converting the cards to Amazon vouchers ends in 7 days from now.

    Tis a pity....and a balls indeed. I never had to use the facility personally but I do know a couple of people who have and they wont be best pleased. Ah well, noting much we can do about it.

    I am strapped for cash but have a one4all voucher. I need to buy something to bring to a party. Can I spend one4all on alcohol?

    Oh fantastic, thank you. Embarrassment avoided.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,766 ✭✭✭RossieMan


    Only SuperValu accept one for all. None of the other big shops take them.

    Just realised that after checking outlets. Nearest Supervalu that takes it is 30 mins away. Could be worse.

    Is it possible to buy one large denomination voucher from multiple smaller ones int he post office?

    I have a few 20s, 50s etc that are no use for a single large purchase online! Or even get a redemption from one4all and take the €8 hit on one card rather than them all!
