Plymouth Sutton MP Linda Gilroy today championed the new Christmas Club being set up by the Post Office.
“I know that Christmas Clubs came under scrutiny with the terrible problems Farepak caused to their customers, but the Post Office has always been seen as a very safe place for
your money, and this looks like an excellent way to save for Christmas and to support your local Post Office – and there is the bonus of a £100 to spend in selected retail partners”
The scheme is open now with customers able to put away amount of £5.00 or more. Funds will be locked away until 1 November 2008, when the Christmas Club card can be
used in three ways:
-
The Post Office has negotiated partnerships providing club members with over 200 places to spend their money, covering
grocery, winemerchants, fashion, travel and leisure, and health and beauty companies. Top names include Argos, Boots, Debenhams,
Halfords, HMV, House of Fraser, JJB Sports, Peacocks, Sainsbury’s, Thorntons,Woolworths and WHSmith.
-
Christmas Club funds can also be redeemed against One4All vouchers which are available at all Post Office® branches. One4All gift vouchers are valid
in 25,000 outlets and are accepted in a wide range of high street stores such as B&Q, Comet, Debenhams, Halfords, Mothercare, River Island, Woolworths.
-
The third option is that sub Post Office branches can elect to be part of the redemption scheme so customers can choose to purchase goods from its
retail side.
