With Robinsons shuttering its stores across Singapore, it truly is the end of an era. But you’ve got vouchers and you don’t quite know how and where to spend them.
Did you know you could utilise your Robinsons vouchers at its parent company’s other stores?
Let’s assume this. You have hundreds, perhaps, thousands of dollars’ worth of Robinsons vouchers lying around at home. And you have no idea what to do with them since the departmental store announced the impending closure of its last two outlets at The Heeren and Raffles City Shopping Centre on October 30.
Well, the good news is that your vouchers can continue to be exchangeable for goods at Robinsons. The bad news? You will now have to spend ‘at least double the voucher amount’, according to the retailer's appointed liquidator, KordaMentha.
For example, a customer using a $50 voucher will have to spend at least $100 in a single receipt in order to utilise the voucher. However, that doesn’t mean you have to force yourself to offload your vouchers only at the Robinsons — they can also be utilised at other retailers under Robinsons' parent company, Al-Futtaim.
The brands under the Dubai-based conglomerate include Marks & Spencer, Royal Sporting House, Reebok, Zara, Bershka and Lacoste (yay!).
Not only will you be able to use your vouchers at its original value (no double purchase, phew!), you’ll also be helping Robinsons liquidate its existing stocks. This, in turn, will help the departmental store pay back their creditors and employees' salaries.
But wait! Before you head to other franchises under Al-Futtaim, be sure to check if you have the correct vouchers.
There are two types of vouchers in which you might have — Robinsons vouchers and Al-Futtaim Retail Asia Gift vouchers. Robinsons vouchers can only be used in Robinsons stores, while Al-Futtaim vouchers can be used on any stores indicated on the voucher itself.
So, don’t be afraid of your gift cards going to waste. Here are 8 things you can spend your leftover vouchers on that doesn’t involve you schlepping all the way to Robinsons.
