Winning a gift card is always a great feeling – but using it wisely can make it feel even better. Whether you’ve won one of our prizes or have a few gift cards tucked away, here are some easy ways to make sure you get the most value out of them.

💡 1. Combine with Store Sales and Promotions

Don’t rush to spend your gift card straight away. Wait for seasonal sales, clearance events, or discount weekends – you’ll get more for the same balance. Many stores even offer extra rewards for loyalty members during these times, giving your card extra power.

🛒 2. Use Gift Cards for Everyday Essentials

It’s tempting to spend a gift card on a treat, but using it for regular purchases – groceries, toiletries, or household items helps free up more of your cash for other things. That’s real-world saving without even trying.

🎁 3. Stack Gift Cards with Voucher Codes or Cashback

Most retailers let you combine a gift card with online voucher codes or cashback offers. A quick search before checkout could earn you additional discounts or rewards, making your gift card stretch even further.

🧾 4. Keep an Eye on Expiry Dates

Some cards don’t expire, but others do, so don’t let your prize go to waste. Set a reminder on your phone to use it before it runs out, or even better, spend a small portion early to keep it active.

🔄 5. Trade or Regift Unused Cards

If you’ve won a card for a store you rarely shop at, consider regifting it or using a secure online platform to exchange it for one you’ll actually use. It’s better than letting it gather dust in your wallet.

💬 Final Tip

A gift card is as flexible as you make it. By planning your spending, stacking offers, and being mindful of timing, you can easily squeeze extra value from every pound.
