Redeeming your voucher
I have a voucher but don’t know what to do with it
-
Take your mobile phone to a PayPoint store.
- Hand the voucher to the store assistant who will scan the barcode (or key in the voucher number) and give you cash to the value of the voucher.
Please note: this voucher will expire on the date and cannot be re-issued once expired. Vouchers can only be redeemed once, check that your voucher has not already been redeemed by another person from your household. If you are certain the voucher has not already been redeemed, please call the Warwickshire Local Welfare Scheme on 0800 4081448.
The email says I need to print the voucher, but I don’t have a printer, what should I do?
You do not have to print the voucher, just take the email along to a PayPoint store. The store assistant will scan the barcode (or key in the voucher number) and give the value of the voucher.
How can I find a PayPoint Store to redeem my voucher?
I am in a PayPoint Store, but the assistant won’t redeem my voucher
Explain to the assistant that this is a standard PayPoint service that works on the PayPoint terminal, and they need to try. If they still won’t help, please step aside from the counter and call PayPoint on 0330 400 0002. If the store assistant has any questions, they should call the PayPoint Contact Centre on 0800 310 0000.
The store assistant says my voucher is not valid
Please check that your voucher has not already been redeemed by another person from your household. Vouchers can only be redeemed once. If you are certain the voucher has not already been redeemed, please call the Warwickshire Local Welfare Scheme on 0800 4081448.
Is the PayPoint retailer obligated to redeem my voucher?
If your retailer appears on the voucher site finder, then they are obligated under their contract with PayPoint to process your voucher providing they have the funds available.
I tried to use my CashOut voucher and the store refused because they didn’t have enough cash to give me. What do I do?
Retailers are only able to process CashOut vouchers if they have enough cash in their tills. If the funds are not available, the retailer will not be able to honour the voucher. We would suggest looking for the next nearest store using our store locator or arranging a suitable time with the retailer when more cash will be available.
