3V Gift Card
 

3V Gift Card. Where can you purchase it? I have tried, WHsmith, Morrison, and most of the outlets, i have called them. They have no idea what i am on about.

I mean, how hard can it be to find it.

Any Help :juggle:

You can buy them from any retailer that has a paypoint machine so most paper shops. I've been in morrisons for them before and the staff have told me thy they don't do them even though it says they do on the 3v website

Do you get the card or the voucher, once you do and register it online, do you change the address details to the one you want. Thanks

It's just a 3v number printed on a receipt. You can then enter it online to create your account and change address etc..

Thank you very much....any good with A M A Z O N

What other cards work with A M A Z O N. I got few now, like C A S H- P L U S. T U X E D O. P R I M E- C A R D.

Are these any good?

Not tried the tuxedo card with AMZ by the 3v card does work

thanks, i have called every paper shop in the area i live.....sadly no 3VV....this is a pain.
I can get t u x e d o today, would try, but the sounds of 3VV sounds much better

I had the same problem to start with, they can do them but just don't know.

Go in and ask for a 3v top up and when they try and find it tell then it under prepayment cards. Any Co-op is a good place to get one if your stuck

Put your postcode into here:

PayPoint Locator

Most of these cornershop do sell them - they just dont know what 3V is.

I did phone up and ask. But they have no idea.

Hmm..Still would hunt i down..But for now i would experiment others.

ok just a lil bit of advice

go to this website paypoint kiosk locator

enter your home post code

you will see a list of local stores which have the paypoint kiosk

google to get their telephone number

ring them and ask them to check they do 3v gift vouchers on the paypoint machine

they do although some say they dont because they have never been asked

always better to ring them up as they are more inclined to check, when in shop they may be busy or just cant be bothered to mess about on the machine to check

make sure they understand that it is a 3v gift voucher and not three mobile network top up voucher...it happens

the vouchers start at £20, go up in £10 amounts and the most you can buy is £150 a time

and their is always a £2 fee for the voucher

you want £150, it will cost £152 total

hope this helps and saves you abit of time and ball ache

peace :peace:

Thank you all for your help. GTB, i have moved from Scotland, and sometimes it is so hard to make the English explain in my Scottish accent :doh:

I am giving the 3V a go today, but i have mange to get some other prepaid cards, i would let you know the outcome of them...of to experiment.:typing:

Am I right in saying once you have a 3V voucher for £152 (but actually balance is £150), I will have £150 at my disposal for eB/PP?

Do I have to spend £150 in one go, or can I use as I like until balance is £0?

Whats the expiry on a these 3V vouchers?

Re: 3V Gift Card
 

Watch out, the vouchers are only valid for 2/3 months I think. It's also a rip off if you want to transfer any remaining balance to your bank

yep the £2 is a fee for buying the voucher

you will have to register on the 3v website

enter the code from the voucher and you will get credit card details

and their will be £150 to spend on that credit card

your always welcome to PM me for advice

i dont know much but if i can help i will

also if you do struggle to get a 3v gift voucher

drop me a PM and i will help you get one

Well, today the experiment for one card went well and worked with AZ. Better than 3V.

P r i m e- cards...works wonders. No problems at all. Just like 3v you can put any address and name to match it with AZ. Cost price is okay, £15, credit is £10. This way you are in control over how much you top up in case Amazon charges you.
More cards on the way.....feel free to delete this comment, i quite not sure if we are are allowed to discuss.

at a paypoint ask for a 3v & if they do not know say it is under the e voucher selection.

After all this search, i was in Tesco for shopping...and guess what i found...3V gift card.I was not even looking for it. Standing at the checkout, and my eyes catches gift cards aisle. Oh well, atleast found it. Anyone finding these, try supermarkets at the gift cards section, where you would alot of gift card.

I have still 3 more of test with AZ...would see how they go and would inform you all

Why is the 3V card more favorable than just using the voucher on here?

Re: 3V Gift Card
 

Longer expiry date

Co-Op has them in quite a few locations. Morrisons no longer sell them as do WHSMith not. Any big co-op has them

hustler g....the 3v gift cards (£25) or the 3v gift vouchers from the paypoint machine ?

£25 ones..but co op also do the top ups and ive rang before and in my area they all knew what 3V was about and even offered me to pay via debit card over the phone and they'd give me the code to try..

yeah so co op must have the paypoint machine too

nice 1 bud

no worries GTB..3V is amazing tbf

Re: 3V Gift Card
 

Just a FYI but in my local area i did find a Morrison's that did have the 3V card so they definitely do still sell them.

Re: 3V Gift Card
 

Nice eternity4u on the Tesco find

Re: 3V Gift Card
 

Was in Morrisons last night 07/01/14 and they had 3V gift cards along with all of the other types of gift cards. Tesco definitely have them and they also have another type of visa gift card in £25 and £50 values. The small print says they are from Blackhawk Network. May be another alternative for 'our' use though.

Re: 3V Gift Card
 

I found 3v vouchers - havent tried them out in some time however
