I have received a 拢1000 voucher from world gift cat. because a national newspaper gave the rub card free.?

Should not the newspapers and magazines that include these rubcards be held responsible for these scams? Why do they include them if there have so many complaints. Why doesn't the government legislate against them to protect the general public. I know there is a common rule, nothing is free, but I paid for the newspaper and the rub card was given away with it. Sometimes the Nat Lottery gives free cards away and we trust them if that free card wins. There must be hundreds if not thousands of people who have paid over 拢6 just to hear what they've won and to obtain the claim number. Once you send off a claim, THEY DO NOT GO AWAY. they are constantly writing saying there are unclaimed prizes, BUT it will cost to get them! I thought PRIZES were something you won - free. They do supply an address: Unit 10 Tavistock Ind.Est, Ruscombe Lane, Twyford RG10 9NQ - anyone work there? How big a scam is it?I have received a 拢1000 voucher from world gift cat. because a national newspaper gave the rub card free.?
yes, you are right! The newspaper is distributing these scams to all there customers and if there was many complaints they should be responsible.





There should be a disclaimer on the cards, if not call a lawyer and maybe you can sue!!

Have you used Cash Saver $10 voucher for hotel room stay from Gift Checks (fundraiser) coupon book?

Has any one used the voucher from the coupon book, Gift Checks, it's sold as a fundraiser for sports teams. There is a voucher in it for 3 days 2 nts hotel at either Las Vegas, Anaheim, Tahoe and others for $10. You send your money to a Company called Cash Savers. Tell me your experience. I'm interested in using it for Anaheim.Have you used Cash Saver $10 voucher for hotel room stay from Gift Checks (fundraiser) coupon book?
Read the fine print carefully on those. Chances are that it's either a timeshare presentation, or you have to enroll in something. There are lots of restrictions. Remember, nothing's free.Have you used Cash Saver $10 voucher for hotel room stay from Gift Checks (fundraiser) coupon book?

I see these questions all the time, and the replies always sound something like, ';get your own card'; or ';get a job';. So i don't think you'll have any luck finding someone willing to give you anything. If you're that desperate, use this site.

Yes, it's another one of those survey sites, but I know from experience that this one is not a scam. It can become quite tedious though, filling out those forms. If you feel you have the time signup, read the directions, and earn the points for an itunes gift card. Otherwise, good luck bumming one! :)Itunes gift card voucher code?
Suggestion: go mow the neighbor's lawn, do some yard work, babysit, or something of the sort for people in the neighborhood and earn some money. Go to walmart, or any store of the sort, and buy a card :)

  • Is there a way to avoid putting your credit # on itunes if you use a gift card or a voucher?

    Yes, it's in the FAQ. What I did was put my credit card in and then as soon as I was activated went in and removed it. I found out thru the FAQ that there is a way to do it.





    I want to create an account with my card, but don't want to enter a credit card.


    That's easy! Follow these simple steps





    Install the latest version of iTunes. You can download iTunes (it's free) from the Download iTunes webpage. If iTunes is already installed on your computer, check your version and update if necessary.


    Open iTunes.


    In the Source list (on the left side of the iTunes window), click iTunes Store.


    In the upper-right corner of the iTunes Store window, verify that the button next to Account says ';Sign In.'; If this button displays an email address instead, click the button and then click Sign Out.


    In the iTunes Store window, click the Redeem link in the right column.














    In the resulting screen, enter the 16-digit code printed on the back of the card (it starts with an ';X';), then click Redeem.











    In the resulting screen, create your new iTunes Store account. You will have the option to enter credit card information; if you do not wish to do so, click the None button on the Payment screen.


    Once you've successfully redeemed your music card, the credit amount will appear next to the Account details in the upper-right corner. Each time you purchase music, iTunes will deduct funds from the credit until it's depleted. If a pending purchase exceeds the credit amount, iTunes will ask you to enter a credit card number. You do not need to re-enter your music card number to make multiple purchases.

    Would you ever buy a babysitting voucher as a gift???

    i run a babysitting business and am thinking of intrducing vouchers where people would buy them and pre pay for our service for there grandkids nieces and nephews.


    to give the parents a break?


    thinking if demand would by great????Would you ever buy a babysitting voucher as a gift???
    Well I don't have any kids but yes I would. I think that a person might buy say a voucher for a meal, or offer to pay for a night out, and then buy the babysitting voucher too. Obviously it can be annoying when you get bought a present for an evening or event out but then have to get a babysitter too. I'd definitely buy it for a friend. Maybe parents could buy vouchers in bulk, so they prepay if you do babysitting every week or at set times?Would you ever buy a babysitting voucher as a gift???
    Not sure, if it was me i would rather offer to babysit myself so they can go out rather than buy them a voucher

    How do i ask people for vouchers instead of wedding gifts in my invitations?

    No matter how cute the phrasing is you would be viewed very badly by some for mentioning gifts on the invite. That's a word of mouth discussion or if you put up a wedding website you can post the information there. Or if you have a bridal shower those invites can say this is what we would like but no one is obligated to bring anything or specifically what you request.How do i ask people for vouchers instead of wedding gifts in my invitations?
    No. Very TACKY!How do i ask people for vouchers instead of wedding gifts in my invitations?
    just put on your wedding gift list vouchers and where you wan them from if you want them from any where i particular.


    if thats what you want than just ask for that!!
    Ive been to a few weddings now - one had a list on debehams site for gifts - on the list were vouchers for those who didnt know what to buy - and also do the same at argos!
    write it as a poem so it don't seem as cheeky
    ';Kindly respect that gift vouchers are requested in lieu of gifts.'; Just have it printed in italics at the bottom of the inside page of your invitation. That's the Ms. Etiquette way of doing it. Congrats!
    do a search for wedding etiquette
    You just DON'T. It's rude, crass and tacky. Don't be selfish and greedy.


    Just graciously accept whatever gifts guests choose to get you.
    You never mention gifts, registries or money in wedding invitations. NEVER. Your wedding is not a fund raiser. Your guests are NOT obligated to give you gifts...if they choose to bring a gift, it will be whatever they choose, not something you dictate.





    The most polite way for you to handle this is to spread the world with your bridal party and immediate family. When your guests check with your family and friends to find out what your registries are, they will find out you would prefer vouchers/giftcards/money instead of gifts.
    you don't that is tacky
    Just come straight out with it. State that vouchers in lieu of goods would be very much appreciated. Only those who are used to griping will moan. Let them. Its your big day.
    People are going to be stuck for what to buy you anyway so they will probably be relieved that your letting them know what you want. My brother is about to get married, he wrote a poem in the invite asking for money to go somewhere sunny. Enjoy your special day. Goodluck.
    If the wedding gift has a receipt then go ahead and return it; then, you'll have your vouchers.
    we received a wedding invitation recently, and it says the following:





    ';Presents - your company is gift enough! But if you insist; music, concert, restaurant or garden vouchers would be much enjoyed.';





    i reckon that people will def send vouchers because of this - i dont think anyone would turn up empty handed because their company was gift enough!!!





    congrats, and good luck with the invites.
    yeah i had the same issue, I wanted to put: cash In lieu of gifts and people still thought it was tacky so I Put nothing and hopefully they ask what I want from close family
    First of all, people come to witness your marriage as a form of approval. NO ONE is obligated to give you anything. To ask for gifts is very offensive and ethically wrong. I wouldn't give you anything if you requested me to give you certain things like that- very BAD taste!
    NEVER ask for or mention gifts in your invitation - that's the height of tackiness. What you do is tell your family members and bridal party where you are registered, or what sort of gift cards or vouchers you want, and then THEY can inform the guests if they ask. If you have your own wedding website, you can put a link to your registry or the stores you're interested in.


    Remember, guests don't have to get you anything, or get you what you want - it's a gift, not an exchange.
    easy..you dont. thats rude! how would you like if people send the rsvp cards back with that they want to eat at the dinner, what kind of booze they want served and what kind of wedding favour they want at their table when they get there? would that be ok with you? because if its ok for you to tell them how to spend their money then is should be ok for them to do the same to you. you get what you get and thats that.
    I dont know if any of this lot have ever been to a wedding, but I have been to many, and everytime have received a gift list in the invitation. Only the last one, a couple of months ago with a polite poem explaining they have everything and argos vouchers would be appreciated. It was very unoffensive.





    Your guests will hardly appreciate it when they are having the meal and chatting about how they all got you a toaster. Many of my guests have contacted me or my parents to ask if they are to get us a gift or money. I'm requesting vouchers towards my photographs. Everyone wants to contribute or give us money for a house deposit.





    Remember, the people you invite love and care about you and want to get you what you want - gift, voucher or cash. Obviously no one here wants to buy you anything, they don't know you (or anything else!) hee hee!





    Try a poem. It really does work and shows a bit of effort. I wish I hadn't thrown it away now. GOOD LUCK
    What kind of vouchers?
    Just return the gifts you get. Put a separate note inside the invitation that the bride prefers a gift card at your convenience. Good luck!!


    Christina
    Frankly, you cannot. And I would suggest to you that, while you may think it is more practicle for you to go out and buy the exact things you want rather than depending on the random taste of friends and relatives, you will come to cherish the things that these people have given you as the years go by.


    Gifts are given from the heart. Allow the people who care about you to express themselves through their gifts. If, however, someone should ask you what gift you would like to have, then by all means ask them for a gift certificate from a specific store.


    All the best to you on your happy day.
    You don't. Asking people you are inviting for money or vouchers of any kind is tacky and not etiquette. Forget the idea and accept what you get. Most people are going over to money instead of wedding gifts anyway.
    this is TOTALLY tacky to do. you NEVER ask for any type of gift....it says that you expect a gift and in this case, a particular one. GREEDY is how you'll look. How embarrassing!!
    You can't. It's rude to demand ANY kind of gift. Only a bad mannered avaricious person would actually stoop to put a gift demand in the wedding invitation. Why not just charge admission.


    As a previous poster suggested, I suggest you Google 'wedding etiquette'.
    Just put in a note with the invite saying that the presence of your guests is more important to you than their presents, however, if they wish to buy you something you would appreciate vouchers from .... to put towards.......


    Honestly, nobody minds buying vouchers!!
    You don't. No mention of gifts should be put on any invitations what so ever. Gifts are optional and making it sound like they are required or expected by telling people how/what to give is EXTREMELY rude.





    You can tell this information to your parents and the bridal party and if someone asks them about gifts they can pass it on. Anything else is unacceptable. Period.





    See any question about asking for money, giftcards, anything before you. I would love for somebody to email me the web address of any ettiquete website or book that says otherwise.
    Do you mean gift cards? Most stores have those as part of the registry items. So, you could set up a wedding registry with just gift cards.
    you don't. You happily accept what people give you.
    just ask them man, its ur wedding and u gt to decide wat u want tso just tell them that you really want vouchers.
    Write ';As a way of making gift selection easier for everyone, we would appreciate your buying us 'gift vouchers' instead of named gifts. Of course if you still prefer to buy us a gift we would be more than happy to accept them. Vouchers can be purchased from:............'; then list the places where you want vouchers from.

  • Would you be mad if you got a gift voucher for christmas?

    I don't understand why people don't just get you the money instead of spending it on a voucher you have to use at a certain shop. PS: Off your parents! ....I wouldn't mind off a friend but a parent is different.Would you be mad if you got a gift voucher for christmas?
    well OK OK OK I NO MY XMAS'S ARENT PERFEKT


    but a gift voucher is what id give a homeless guy or give to the salvo's for less fortunate people


    LMAO so yes id be madWould you be mad if you got a gift voucher for christmas?
    Be grateful for what your given, if you do receive one.





    So what if it's a gift card for a certain shop. At least you get the choice of spending that money on something you may like, not something you don't.





    Learn to accept what you get, and be happy.





    Some people don't even get a single present for christmas, so think about that first before you go complaining about what you get for christmas.
    l think these days you can get multiple shop vouchers giving you


    a bigger choice,they are possibly better than a present that you may


    not like.money as such is too impersonal if however the gift is from


    a close personal friend no no no anything other than a real present


    will not do
    because if you just give money lots of young people buy things like drugs, smokes and alcohol








    and i would be happy its much better than a unwanted gift,. this was you an choose what you like
    no i wouldnt mind


    but then I`m not ungrateful selfish and spoiled.
    no id be happy, but i have to admit i dont really use them but they are handy, especially when its hard to find for som1
    id actually be happy
    No, cuz I don't celebrate Christmas

    Ways to be creative with wrapping up a gift voucher for bf..please help!?

What creative ways can i give it to him? Im stuck for ideas. I thought about puting those photo holding corners on a piece of card to hold the voucher then stick foil covered chocolate racing cars round the edge....but i cant find any chocolate foil covered racing cars! lol! please help..this is his main pressie and despite how much it cost in its paper form it doesnt look anything special and i so want it to look special!Ways to be creative with wrapping up a gift voucher for bf..please help!?
    Try going to a charity shop and get him a racing track set, get a little lego man and stick a photo of his face on it sit it in top of the car, then present him his voucher


    xxWays to be creative with wrapping up a gift voucher for bf..please help!?
    Thornton's used to do chocolate cars and you could get a loving message iced onto it or else i would go with the toy car idea you can pick up toy sports cars quite cheap I know Asda were doing them for under 50p 'cos I bought some for my son to destroy (I mean play with)!!!!
    How about buying a book about racing, something he would be interested in, then attach the voucher inside the book. Or a model racing car, in a nice box, tuck the voucher inside.
    Buy a toy car in a box similar in size to the outline of the voucher and wrap them together


    You might even find a chocolate car if you go to one of these specialist confectioners who make the items in the shop


    I am sure he will enjoy the surprise of the gift and any way it is wrapped up is just really an accompaniment ';';


    Have a great Christmas
    Buy him a pair of leather driving gloves. The gift voucher goes between the gloves when wrapping them.
    just give it to him - he wont care to much afterwards !
    Put it into a Christmas Themed or Race Car Themed picture frame. Merry Christmas.





    PS: What a cool gift! You're bf is so lucky.
    Put it in a box, and then that box in another and so on! Or create a treasure hunt around the house! You could also blindfold him and drive him to the location!
    When ever i buy someone a gift card/ voucher i always but in a box and wrap it, then i put it in a bigger box and wrap it, then a bigger one and wrap it and keep going until its as big as the room if u want! ect. The more layers the more funi, i once bought my ex a voucher for something he wanted and did the same technique... the last box was huge! it was so funi watching him open it! its a great idea as it ul get him all excited! then he get to ur gift and find it really great that u put so much efort into it!


    hope this helped xx
    wrap it up, then put it into a box, which goes into a bigger box and so on.
    you are a very special gf. I support the idea of a small model car. I think that is a lovely idea. And as a plus, he'll get to keep the small car as a reminder later.
    how about opening up the end of a christmas cracker and putting it inside then put it to one side so you know which one it is. on christmas morning ask him if hed like to pull the cracker with you.
    Put it inside a pregnancy test box, and wrap that.
    Find a toy car instead of a chocolate one. One that you can open the doors or boot or something and roll the vouchers up and put them inside with a bit of tinsel or something ;-)





    What a lovely idea you have.

    If a five pound gift voucher too cheap for a wedding gift?

    A girl in my circle of friends is getting married. We went to the same school and have mutual friends who are close to each other but I do not think I have ever even spoken to her on the phone, one to one.





    Anyway, she is having a kitchen tea/bridal shower thing before her wedding (which will be abroad). I am going to travel down to london from liverpool for the weekend and I will see a couple of friends as well as go to her party but I have made the effort specifically to come to bulk up the numbers.





    she is a very sucessful doctor, I am a struggling single mum. She has a gift list and like the cheapest thing is ten pounds apart from five pound gift vouchers. I could not go empty handed but even the travel to london is expensive for me.





    what should I do, I do not think I have time to make something and it will be a hectic rush from work, then dropping my kid off then catching the train so I would not manage carrying around a bulky homemade gift.





    Suggestions please.If a five pound gift voucher too cheap for a wedding gift?
    I got married last month and got a 拢5 voucher from someone who is on benefits. It wasn't a problem to me.





    Edit..Expecting a lot more from everyone is greedy. We don't all have 拢50 to blow at one time on a present for someone. We give what we can afford.If a five pound gift voucher too cheap for a wedding gift?
    Wedding lists are also for guidance, there is nothing to stop you buying something that you know the couple will like that isn't on the list.





    This way, even though you only have a few pounds to spare they won't know the picture frame you bought them from Asda (for one of their wedding photos) wasn't hugely expensive.
    Are you attending the wedding or the bridal shower?


    If you are not going to the wedding, there is no need for a wedding gift.


    If you are going to the shower, pick up some kitchen or tea towels for her. Or if it is easier to the gift voucher. A gift is always optional. It is not required. And if it causes you a hardship, then don't do it. A card wishing her well is all that is needed.
    My friends are from all economic backgrounds and I honestly can't remember who gave us what or who didn't give us anything when we were married. What I DO remember were the people who went to great trouble to be with me for my hen bash and those who were with us at our wedding. She must be thrilled that you are making such an effort on her behalf, and she certainly won't expect a gift. Have a wonderful time!
    Hi. I do think 拢5 is not enough to give as a wedding present. If you don't really know this woman and are going to find it expensive to travel down and to buy drinks etc is it not better for you just to say that you are very sorry but you have other arrangements?
    If you really can't afford anything more than a 拢5 voucher then I would suggest going and buying something for 拢5 instead and wrapping it up. Even a bunch of flowers. Have a look on ebay as you may be able to pick up a vase or something similar for a fiver.
    I have to say I find it a bit strange to have a gift list for this type of event as it would appear to be a replacement for a hen night when you don't normally give gifts.
    Just bring a bottle of wine and a bottle aspirin and say ';Here, you'll be needing these';. If she an ounce of humour in her, she'll love it. It isn't your job to buy some rich casual acquaintance a super nice gift.
    If she knows your situation then she should not expect anything. If 拢5 gift vouchers are on her wedding list then go ahead, if not don't bother.


    Enjoy a well earned break!
    Give her a card and a pretty little picture frame or a little bridal prayer book, depending on her religion. They are sweet gifts that don't cost a fortune.





    Best wishes!!!!!!!!!
    You would be better to give just a card than to give 5 quid. why not just avoid gou=ing to the party, therefore saving money so that yu can afford a decent present?
    拢5 gift? It's actually not cheap. As long as you're a true good friend that all it matters. I value friendship than gift.
    yes





    a card would be better - if you can't afford a gift, then don't, 拢5 is a bit cheap and seems mean. x
    Yes, very cheap. You'd be better off giving nothing.
    yes it is too cheap
    do you want to go?
    i'll lend you a tenner, i'm frickin minted baby! Lol
    I'd give a very inexpensive gift rather than a gift card for so little. You can afford what you can afford, but a gift you find on sale somewhere may seem a lot nicer even if it cost the same, plus there is effort involved. I'd look at what she registered for and either buy a cheaper version of something she wanted or take clues from what she registered for to guide you on what to buy. In keeping with the kitchen theme, I'd definitely go to a bookshop with a good clearance section and look for a nice cook book. There are always tons of them on clearance. Some of my best ones were the sheapest! You could also give her a bottle of wine or a basket you make up with different teas, honey and some home made cookies.
    If she is a good friend she would understand about the money side of things.


    When I got married I appreciated anything and everything we were given.


    How about a nice photo frame? That way they can put wedding photos in it which would be great.


    Have you thought about a cheap way to travel, Big yellow bus runs coaches and trains but at limited times so may not suit, and on normal rail if you book before hand you can often save money - apoligies if you have already done this!
    For the average guest, 拢5 is a bit cheap, but you have extenuating (sp?) circumstances. If you can't afford much else, then they should be thankful. It's the thought that counts, not the gift itself. I am sure that if she knows you are a single mum with money problems, then she will appreciate that you don't have much to give.





    If you really feel bad about it, then perhaps give her this, but in the card say you will buy her something bigger when you have a bit of spare cash saved up. I'm sure that if she's a real friend then she won't mind.





    I know what it's like to live hand to mouth (I'm doing it as we speak), so I know that ANY amount is a lot of money to spare. But as long as you speak to her about it, or mention in the card, she should be fine. It would be rude and inconsiderate for her to give you a guilt trip after that.
    rather than a gift certificate (which is obvous how much you spent), why not do something cute with it? maybe get a cute gift box and make ';wedding day survival kit'; and maybe put little things she may need in a pitch like saftey pins, hair pins, clear nail polish (smudged nails or run in stockings), maybe a make-up remover pad, gum or mints, and a little good luck charm. also include a little note explaining what it is and your best wishes for the wedding. Also, you would be able to get all these items (those you may not have) at the drug store at the train station.





    Also, since it seems you will be friends with many there, is there anyone that you can get together with and buy something?





    good luck!
    Yes 5 pounds doesnt sound very nice, but you could either buy her something small for the house (even from Ikea),try a f;ea market and buy her a vase or something small and cheap.Alternatively go for the 10 pound gifts on the wedding list. You could also write her a nice card and exolain your situation.I am sure she will be ok with it,afterall wedding are not for the gifts (or at least that is what i think).It is all about celebrating the unification of two people and being with all your loved ones!A gift in the long run,isnt that important! Good Luck xx
    Five pounds? That's a joke, right?

    Get him the shirt and let the shopkeeper know that its a gift for someone and if he doesn't like it then he can come and change it, then tell this to your friend when you give him the shirt. Tell him that he can have it changed if he doesn't like it

    Well, I am not sure what his interests are, but maybe some of these ideas can be adapted. These are some of the things I have done as gifts in the past for some of my friends.





    Host a Packer party for him and some of his friends. In the living room. sort of a tail gate party.


    One time of shoveling out the driveway and the sidewalks, boy we get the snow.


    A fishing day, I buy the bait and row the boat.


    Making his favorite dessert.


    Depending on the area, a night out at his favorite pizza place or restaurant.


    A free oil change in his vehicle.


    One time cleaning of the garage.


    One time mowing the lawn.


    Depending on your area, take him to a farmers market or a concert in the park.


    Create a cheese and sausage tray for him to munch on while renting a good movie.


    A man and his friends day, hosting a cookout.


    Well I hope this gets some ideas flowing for you.


    I think that the home made vouchers are a wonderful idea. It can really personalize a gift. Good Luck!
