Does anyone know if supermarkets, shops etc accept English Switch Cards, we have our daughters birthday coming up and family are wanting to put money in our UK bank account, don't really want them to send to our NZ bank account as get charged quite a bit from the UK bank to transfer over - which is a bit much everytime there is a birthday.

My question then in a round the houses kind of way is, if they put money into our UK account can I then go and use my UK Switch Card to spend in the shops?
