Hi there,
Just wondering if anyone knows of a way to use these vouchers on a website like Nike.com? Is there any way to maybe buy a single use credit card that I could then top up further?
The one4all can be used on the likes of Elverys and Lifestyle but limited to €50 per transaction so pretty useless for anything costing more than that.
Thanks a million

Can you not use it in store at Tesco and pay over the €50 with a debit card?

Sorry, I should have been clearer. I want to use it online.

You can't unless it's a chip and pin gold card.

There are certain outlets that take it online but to a maximum of €50 per transaction.

Can the one I have be changed to a chip and pin?

Thanks

Sorry, that's what I meant: You can't use it above €50.

Chip and pin cards have a minimin load of €150 and require ID verification.

You can't change your current card to a different one without buying a new one (and I'm not sure you can buy an o4a with another o4a)

You can, I recently bought a chip-and-pin version with a non chip-and-pin one.

@grimman - how/where can you buy a chip and pin version with a non chip one?

You can just purchase the chip and pin version with your existing One4All Card, I exchanged a €500 non-chip version for a €500 chip version -- use the promo code: HAPPYTOHELP to get free shipping.

I tried mine a while ago in Tesco, no dice. Didn't work at all. The guy on the tills said they very rarely actually work.

They are, basically, absolutely useless.

The hassle of these cards are just one step up from Ryanair vouchers.

While a person giving you the hassle of a 0ne4all card is probably doing it out of love.
People who give you Ryanair vouchers probably hate you

Is its expiry date summer 2022?

Only decent online retailer I found that accepted it was boots. So my Christmas present from my boss ended up being three months supply of formula, nappies and wipes

It's money I would have spent anyway so happy enough though I aged five years trying to actually get it registered and kyc checks done etc.

I'd say a One 4 All is possibly the only gift worse than a donation in the recipients name to the Moscow State Ballet or sending a goat to be butchered in some developing country.

I have a chip-and-pin voucher that I've tried to use online (have activated it etc) a few times since Christmas. Always fails on the secure validation step.

Just wondering - when it "very rarely actually works", is it that it won't work sometimes but might work the next, or that it won't work at all in some shops?

i.e., should I keep trying, or try somewhere else?

I called support about this but after 45 minutes waiting on the phone, the guy knew nothing. Said it would need to be escalated and, predictably, I've heard nothing since. Another guy in work had the very same experience.

My One4all tip is that if a retailer sells vouchers, then use your one4all to buy multiple vouchers for €50 and then you can purchase something fo a bigger value on the site. I did this with mcguirks and bought a new club.

The issue i currently have with one4all is that i have about 3 cards all with less than €10 on them and dont know how to use them up

What I have done in this situation in the past is to find the exact amount on each, and them use them in one transaction, in a bricks and mortar store, such as Woodies

Shelflife

I’ve used one for all vouchers for years and only once had an issue . Restaurants, hotels , sports shops , clothes shop and grocery shops have all accepted them with no issues, even using multiple cards for bigger purchases.

I have a One4all with €500 value.
Made a purchase for €500 recently and had to endure the big wait at the till as the cashier had to input 10 multiples of the €50 max transaction limit permitted with these cards. Loads of frustrated shoppers waiting in line behind me at the till point!!
Grrrrrrrrrr

Got a load of them from an employer a few years back. Small amount for little daily competitions in the office. Bought a Smart TV with them in DID or PowerCity much to the chagrin of the queue behind me. In fairness they opened another till.

I heard you only buy them for people you hate.
They are only one tiny step above a ryanair voucher

You can cash them in for a fee..... https://www.one4all.com/terms-conditions

2.6 You may request repayment of any credit balance outstanding on the Card by calling GVS on 0870 085 4141. A Redemption Fee will be applied in accordance with Clauses 6 and 10.

It's a bit of hassle, but worth it if there's enough on it and you can't find a good way to use it as a voucher. They're ridiculously restricted in usage

You can't do that if gifted from an employer due to BIK.

The staff member must not have realised that there's a difference between instore and online.

The €50 limit is for online transactions only if its not a chip and pin card

Instore/Inperson transactions can be up to the value to the card

SunnySundays

The €50 online limit is going to cause a huge drop in their sales. I know the company can't do anything about this but their usage has decreased do much.

I have 2 since Christmas and finding them hard to spend.

I believe their sales have increased.

Online limits don't apply if you have their chip and PIN card and completed registration for identification.

Most corporate bonus cards are chip and pin and this is where they do the vast majority of sales

Bigtime - never understood the Irish obsession with them. I guess at one point in the 90s or some sh!t they were good as you probably had a book token style paper voucher that could be used in a few places.

But now its just expensive way to give anything to anyone.

You're not taking account of the fact that their big sales are with corporate clients. They are very tax efficient for gifting to employees.

Personally I get maybe three of them a year and have no difficulty using them,

oh I am - they are still a complete pain in the hole (for me and it seems for others too).

Last one I got, went to use it.. didn't work - called them - had to be "activated" - fine done over the phone.. but of course not really as they had to wait until the ticker tape got read out by an operator and the reel to reel backups were synchronised.. 36 hours later my card worked..

That was only 3 years ago or something.. I dont even bother with them anymore tax break aside

km991148

but yeah - very old school company - they dont really care about the user experience of them.. money for old rope selling to corporates. If the small gift allowance was removed or a better competitor came along the business would disappear.
