Love2shop vouchers: Full list of retailers that let you spend them
LOVE2shop vouchers can be redeemed at a number of retailers - we explain where you can spend them.
Gift cards can be a great Christmas present for someone who already has everything they need - but you should know all of the risks before buying one.
Gift cards don't have to be honoured if a shop is struggling financially, which could see you losing the cash altogether if the retailer goes bust.
When a company falls into administration, it’s down to the administrators to decide whether they accept gift cards or not.
It means they could choose to refuse vouchers if they think it’s in the best interests of the company.
Administrators could also decide to accept gift cards at the start of the process, but later stop accepting them.

It's for this reason that MoneySavingExpert's Martin Lewis has previously urged shoppers against using them.
But if you're still keen on purchasing one, a gift card that covers a lot of retailers may be your best shot, as you're covered in case one goes bust.
If you're thinking about buying a Love2shop voucher, or have one at home, here's everything you need to know.
What is Love2shop?
Love2shop is a multi-retailer voucher that’s accepted in over 150 stores - it means you’re not limited to buying products in just one shop.

There are four different types of vouchers available: Love2shop voucher, Love2shop gift card, Love2shop e-gift card and the Love2shop contactless card.
It’s important to check which shops are available with each one, as not all retailers will accept each form of voucher.
You should also note that some of the retailers included on the below lists are in administration.
That means you might not be able to redeem your gift card as they are not always redeemable if a company has gone bust.
You should contact the retailer to get more details.
Where can I spend Love2shop vouchers?

Gift cards - your rights explained
If you're worried about purchasing a gift card, we explain your rights when a company goes into administration.
It's ultimately up to the people appointed to manage the process to decide whether to allow the use of gift cards or not.
It means you'll need to keep an eye on the administration process to see what your rights are.
The administrators are allowed to stop accepting gift cards at any point.
If the administrators later decide that you can't use your vouchers, you should register a claim with the administrations for the value of the vouchers.
This also applies if the company can't be saved through administration and is later liquidated.
However, you may not get this money back if other creditors are owed money too. You may also only get a portion of the money back.
If the voucher or amount put on a gift card was for more than £100, then it may be possible to claim the money back if it was purchased with a credit card.

This is because the card company is jointly liable under Section 75 of the Consumer Credit Act 1974.
If the voucher was a gift, then you'd need to ask the person who bought it for you to claim the money back.
