A Takealot gift voucher is the gift that fits everyone, because Takealot sells almost everything. This guide covers the questions people ask before and after buying one: how to buy a voucher for someone else and send it, how to redeem it on takealot.com (two ways), how long it lasts, and where it does and doesn't work, including Superbalist, Mr D and physical vouchers in shops.
Takealot gift voucher denominations
Evopoints sells Takealot gift vouchers in four values at face value, with no fee. Add several to one order for a larger amount; each arrives as its own code.
How to buy a Takealot voucher for someone else
- Pick a value on our Takealot voucher page and pay by card, Ozow instant EFT or bank transfer. You do not need a Takealot account to buy.
- The voucher code is emailed to you within minutes and saved under Profile → Order History.
- Forward the email, or copy the code into a WhatsApp message with your own note. The recipient redeems it in their own Takealot account.
Whoever enters the code first gets the credit, so send it only to the person it is for. For a team or clients, order the number of vouchers you need in one checkout and forward each code separately.
How to redeem a Takealot gift voucher
Takealot gives you two ways. Both need a Takealot account, which is free.
Option 1: add it to your account balance
- Log in at takealot.com or in the app and click your account name at the top right.
- Choose Enter a gift voucher code.
- Type or paste the code exactly as shown and click Apply.
- The value is added to your Takealot prepaid balance and is used automatically at your next checkout.
Option 2: apply it at checkout
- Add items to your cart and go to checkout.
- At the payment step, open Redeem Gift Voucher.
- Enter the code and click Apply. The voucher value comes off the order total.
If the order costs more than the voucher, pay the difference with any other Takealot payment method. If it costs less, the remainder stays in your account for next time.
Where a Takealot voucher works, and where it doesn't
- takealot.com and the Takealot app — everything on the site: electronics, fashion, home, baby, beauty, books, groceries and more. Marketplace sellers included.
- Superbalist — no. Superbalist is a separate site in the Takealot group with its own vouchers; a Takealot voucher cannot be redeemed there.
- Mr D — no. Mr D is a separate app with its own voucher system, even though it shares a parent company.
- Other gift vouchers or coupons on Takealot — no. Takealot does not let you buy vouchers with a voucher.
- Cash — no. Vouchers cannot be refunded for cash once delivered.
How long is a Takealot voucher valid?
Three years from the date of purchase. Vouchers that Takealot gives away in promotions carry their own, usually shorter, expiry printed on them. Credit already added to your Takealot account balance follows the same three-year rule, so it is worth redeeming and spending rather than keeping a code in a drawer.
Can I buy a Takealot voucher at Checkers or Pick n Pay?
Physical Takealot gift cards are sold at selected supermarkets and retailers, and they redeem the same way once you scratch off the code. The difference with buying from Evopoints is time and place: the code is emailed within minutes, any hour of the day, and it is already digital, which is what you want when the recipient is in another city or the birthday is today.
If the code won't apply
- ✓Typo. Paste the code from the email rather than typing it; a zero and the letter O are the usual culprits.
- ✓Already redeemed. Check your account balance first: the credit may already be there from an earlier attempt. If not, contact us with your order number and we will check the code with the issuer.
- ✓Wrong site. Superbalist and Mr D will reject it; use takealot.com.
