National Book Tokens UK

Orn8one · 10-27-2011, 07:06 PM

Hi,
Does anyone know where online I could use a National Book Token? My Brother gave me one for my Birthday for £20 but I use my reader exclusively as large font is essential for me.
I have tried emailing National Book Tokens but the email was returned. I have searched online UK sellers but their policy is not always on the T&C's so I have to get to the basket before I find I can't use it!
Info on this subject would be really appreciated.
Thank you.

Can National Book Tokens be used online?

In the future National Book Tokens Gift Cards will be able to be used against online purchases of books only on the websites of bookshops that have this online facility - this is currently not available. Please visit the specific bookshop’s website for more information on their policy.

To be honest as far as I was aware NBT's can only be used for physical books. Some stores will sell them to you online (not ebooks) but most won't i.e. WHSmiths, Amazon and Play.com all won't.

Most bookstores I know of will order in large print versions of books for you and you can use NBT's for those so it might be worth popping in to your local store to ask.

Thank you Mnementh. I had seen that on the site but as my email sent to the address given for queries was returned twice [reason address failure!] I hoped the site info was out of date.
I'll find a way to use the card :-)
