You may obtain information about the remaining balance on your Gift Card at any till point in store or by calling 0800 151 0900. You can top-up the balance on your Gift Card at any time in store.

    Treat your Gift Card like cash: lost, stolen or damaged Gift Cards cannot be replaced. Gift Cards do not expire and can be used for purchases as long as there is a remaining balance.


    We will cancel the value of your Gift Card if we fail to receive payment from the purchaser’s bank or card company for the initial purchase of the Gift Card. Further action may be taken where the fraudulent use of a credit card is suspected.
