M&S also used to issue paper gift vouchers which never expire, and should be accepted worldwide. Countries listed on the back are "UK, Canada, Europe, Hong Kong & St Michael Shops abroad". However, paper gift vouchers can't be used online, and are no longer available to purchase from M&S. If you have a paper gift voucher, contact M&S customer service who will agree to you sending them in, and in return they will send you a gift card of equivalent value.
