So a while ago I came by (well, was given as a present) a One4All gift voucher thingy worth €50. I sorta forgot about it, and just found it again. After a little bit of research, I can't add it to paypal, or redeem it as cash with a bank (didn't really expect to be able to).

I also saw that you can convert it into a virtual debit card, but this has a large fee (€7.50) associated with it, and has a tendency to be denied by Amazon, iTunes, Paypal, and eBay.

So does anyone know something useful I can do with it? (And no, I don't want to give it away ;) )

Check their website. Plenty of stuff to chose from.

"Plenty"

Only these shops, or converting it to an Amazon £25 gift certificate. That'll be a big loss of capital through exchange rates, and there's probably a fee on top of that.

I never shop in any of those shops, the only one which I've even been to before is Argos, and in my experience they never have anything in stock.

I hate those kinds of gift cards. If you can't think of a gift, just give cash instead of making me buy from one particular shop or set of retailers. :p

I got a $60 Amazon US gift voucher from my former company when I left.

Six months later, I still have no fucking clue what to do with it, since Amazon will only ship CDs, DVDs and books outside the US. I was interested in some British sitcoms like TITC and OFAH, but hey, $60 won't cover those "imports" (which are 1/3 of the US price on Amazon UK).

Gah...

Can you use it on Digital Games? You only need to have a US billing address (can be fake) to buy them.

I'm not very comfortable with faking a billing address. I guess it could work, but...

Which games would I buy, anyway? There's the occasional deal, but my Steam backlog is absolutely huge and I try not to buy anything new if I'm not going to play it immediately (and I guess I still have about 50-70 hours to spend in Tropico 4, for example).

Hah, I worked as a sysadmin for one company for 3 years, so they knew me pretty well. I'm not an outdoors person, but when I left my boss just went to the nearest shop from our building (and we were based across the road from a damn mall) and got me a $50 voucher from an outdoors/camping shop.

That was as much of a "fuck you for leaving" as he could get away with I guess...

There's some shopping centers around Dublin that have gift card schemes where the card is actually a Mastercard debit card, which means you can you use it online and I don't think there's a fee for purchasing them. Check a few online and see if they accept one4all.

Yeh, I live near Dundrum shopping centre, and there are some shops there which accept it (according to one4all's website). However, as I said to TerryNachtmerrie, I don't shop in any of those shops.

I actually meant buying, say, a Dundrum gift card which isn't limited to the shopping centre and can be used online for Amazon etc. That's according to this post anyway though you might be chancing it with this fella's post.

Think yer man above linked the UK site, the Irish site might have some retailers you'd use.

I did use the virtual visa option for a One4All voucher, and it was accepted on Amazon, but it probably isn't worth it to convert it on a €50 voucher. Other than that, I would just use them in HMV, but that really isn't an option any more. I think Golden Discs accepts them though.
