Workaround to buy a phone from Three with a ME2YOU voucher?

xboxdad · 08-12-2016 01:37PM #1

Hello,

I'm trying to buy a Galaxy S6 Edge (499 EUR at Three) with a 500 EUR me2you voucher.
The "where to spend" list on the me2you web site doesn't have Three on it. (other places sell the phone for 600-650 EUR)

Apart from the usual "spend the voucher on food and buy the phone for cash" method, is there any way to bridge the gap between me2you and Three?
Like buying another voucher that Three will accept with the me2you voucher (does Three accept any sort of voucher? Is there any place that actually sells you a voucher for a voucher?). Etc...

Thanks for any suggestions.

"Buy it from Carphone Warehouse instead, €450 on prepay with Vodafone, apparently they take the me2you vouchers according to their website

Thanks for your suggestion.

Unfortunately that's the non-Edge version. ...and for some strange reason they don't have the 499 EUR Edge version from Three.

This isn't a sales site - try adverts.ie if they allow voucher resale.

I didn't open this thread for sales activity. Back to the original topic...

Well, maybe someone on this thread knows the answer. Extra question: would Three take that one?

Why not ask 3 what vouchers, if any, they accept, first??

I think Tesco stores that have phone shops do sell for other Networks, not sure if they sell just the phones, but tesco stores do accept ME2YOU cards.

Leave the moderating to the mods please. A winky eyes emoticon does imply a certain acceptance on your part that you are willing to sell. L1011 was just reminding you that sales activity is not welcome here

Please delete this topic if possible. Its original direction is now completely lost. I can't seem to find the delete option. (maybe because of the mobile interface I'm using)

Gift cards take from 5% to 15% of the net sales value. So buying a voucher with a gift card or buying a different gift card with a gift card just won't be possible.

Neither will any place give you cash in exchange.

I can close, but we don't tend to delete unless personally identifiable information is posted. Would you like me to close the thread?
