Arnotts now have their own voucher system system - you can't force them to accept yours.
I also had this problem in DID Electrical - they said that they accepted One4All vouchers but not cards, their system doesn't have the capability to accept the cards or something.
A bit of finger trouble with my original post - what I meant was "your vouchers"....It's not 'my' voucher system. At the time of purchase Arnotts had signed up to all4one voucers. It was only purchased 3 months ago.
How so?I know that retailers actually make a loss on accepting these one for all vouchers
How so?
A rate of commission is paid on them. So lets say a one4all voucher was redeemed for goods worth €100. The retailer pays a commission on this. Not sure of the exact rate but another poster stated it has gone from 7% to 15%. So An Post used to give the retailer €93 for the €100 voucher and according to the other poster the retailer now gets €85 for the €100 voucher. So they are making a loss as opposed to selling €100 of goods for cash.
That's not making a loss. The theory is that being part of the One4All scheme drives footfall into stores...that the €100 is money you wouldn't otherwise get so paying the 10%/€10 is worth it. I can see why certain retailers would run a mile from this kind of thing...branded electrical goods would spring to mind. As I said earlier my guess is the money being batched straight into the bank account with this new gift card scheme is the issue for a multi-concession store like Arnotts.
