Voucher Holic


Hi there! Nice to have you back!

This time I'll be talking about shopping vouchers. Honestly, I'm a bit confused about the vouchers and coupons, the purpose seems the same.

Vouchers as I know are like gift cards usually given to someone as a birthday present, something that has been paid in advance not like coupon that is free.

One example is the skiing lesson voucher that I received for my birthday which I've used to do my first skiing lesson in Snow Factor, Braehead (Glasgow). I enjoyed that and I actually registered for membership to do more lessons.

Another voucher I've received as a birthday present is to treat myself for an hour full-body massage (my favorite!) and also a very thoughtful wedding anniversary present that allows us to stay in a 5-star hotel.

This is different from the shopping voucher that I usually gets from Tesco, Morrison, Asda or Sainsburry's. Look at the example voucher I have from Tesco where I do my online shopping. This explains that the voucher I got is based on the points I have collected everytime I buy from TESCO online or in-store, but you need to have a Tesco Clubcard in order to collect points and get a voucher.

Anyways, to clarify the difference between vouchers and coupons I've used the dictionary which is the logical way to do it, here's what I've found.

There you go! The main point is that either with vouchers or coupons, you'll get savings from purchasing something by paying for less or no money at all.

Some businesses use vouchers to lure potential customers to buy their products. Amazon is one example where I usually gets different vouchers every time I order something from them. Some vouchers are from Amazon itself but others are from affiliated company like OCADO online shopping, Graze snack box and photo printing voucher.

Vouchers is actually good start to try on things, some vouchers are to introduce a free trial of a product but mostly of a service. I once tried the voucher from Naked Wines that entitled me for a £60 off my first order that has to me more than of what the voucher value is. I've made a good savings from buying the wines and they are good wines actually though I have to buy that much buy hey, I still got a good deal out of it and I enjoyed the wines (ha!ha!). 

I've looked at different vouchers sites that you might find useful just in case you want to give it a try (or you're probably using them already). I'm sure you'll find the best vouchers deal for you and you're more than welcome to share your comments and experience below.
