    Stuff that goes out of stock gets removed from the lists. Tesco physical cards are likely not possible to restock now and they'd need to change their setup to handle the digital cards.

    Tesco has come and gone multiple times over the years on IO for various stock reasons.

    Hopefully Irish opinions get the digital Tesco voucher on the website, it’s so much easier.
    Shop and scan have stopped doing physical vouchers for now and added Nike to their reward catalogue which is a result

    They sent me an all gift voucher code today if that counts as contact
    They are becoming the best paying site during the pandemic for me

    So, what i did was add the virtual card to my PayPal account then made a new PayPal account, sent the €50 to the new account then sent it back to my original account then transferred to my bank account.

    I thought they might not let me make a new account with the same phone number and address but they did.

    I hope this helps.

    Am I right in thinking that I can just add it to my Paypal account, and use it for any upcoming PayPal spending over the coming weeks / month - no need to transfer it out and back?

    Look,I was sceptical of this new RED C pay out option as I always got "the cheque" when I reached the €50 pay out.I thought it was quite complicated.But I found it simple to do .You get the code from Red C and transfer the €50 "To a Friend" on your Pay Pal account,using the code(a Master Card code).Then get the friend to send the €50 back to you.No charges(as it's a friend).It took me about three minutes to do it last Saturday.It was easy.YOU can't just add it straight to your PP account.

    You can use it as a card on your PayPal account though for other purchases. Where you might run into trouble is spending all of it if you're left with a few euro and nothing with a low enough/exact value to spend it on.

    Just wondering (again).Would there be an expiry date on them?Like,could you spare up say five or six of them over a few months and then use them all at once?

    Thanks, the only problem is, I don't have any friends.

    if you cant spend it on anything like shopping or a utility bill and really want it in your bank account then make a second paypal account and do it that way
