    So One4All starts expiring after 12 months with the monthly fee, Perfect Card has a €12 fee so that's ruled out. Not clear if FromMe2You expires after 12 months as well... initial Google didn't turn up anything, anyone know?

    Me2you has a €1.40 monthly fee from month 13.

    All these cards have costs and they "rent" the numbers, so they have ongoing charges if the number remains live.

    Me2you are valid in a far better variety of stores than one4all primarily because it's issued by retail excellence group and they charge a far lower commission to retailers.

    I did notice that Me2You was accepted in Smyths whereas One4All is not, but then again One4All is accepted in 360 Cycles and Me2You isn't listed.

    These 2 seem to have same terms/fees so I'll just try to predict which stores I'll spend the most in and decide on the supported retailers :)

    Note only some Supervalu's accept the gift cards so scratch that idea I think as mine isn't included

    One4All stopped being any use when they dropped support for Amazon.

    While reviewing this today I spotted that Me2You is actually accepted in Tesco.

    Neither One4All or Me2You are accepted in any supermarkets (apart from a select few Supervalues), so this is quite a major gain on the part of Me2You.

    I'm just confirming a few last shops where I intend to use the gift card that definitely accept One4All, but don't have Me2You listed (but may still accept the Me2You). Certainly having Tesco is a major pull for going with Me2You.

    the posts are deleted because the user closed their account.

    Redeming the vouchers as suggested in this post?...

    Yeah - thanks, its a Tax free present thing - so it says thats not an option - I'm hoping to buy Amazon.co.uk real voucher Cards somewhere...

    Want to buy some PC bits - and Argos/Currys/PCWorld are just not the go to place for harddrives etc...

    O4A no longer support buying Amazon vouchers unfortunately, you'll have to try elsewhere

    Got a O4A voucher from work. Can't put in my bank as its a company-bought one, both rang and emailed O4A themselves and they confirmed. Is there any way I can get it in my account? Revolut doesn't accept it either.

    Edit, alternatively are there any garage I can use it for fuel?

    No way to cash it out (law for small gift exemption ones) and filling stations would be insane to take it (the commission is vastly higher than the margin on fuel).

    They charge many retailers 12,3% net commission, so don't expect any place such as fuel stations that work on margins of 5% to accept them.

    You're stuvk with shops that sell items with high margins.

    Suggest to your company to buy me2you gift cards - far better selection of stores including Tesco

    Thanks all, some family members have been using it and giving me the cash alternative. Win - win!

    I had no problem cashing mine out into a bank account last year (less an €8 fee). Guess I was lucky.
