Local MP Welcomes Launch of Post Office Christmas Savings Club
13th February 2008
Aberavon MP, Dr Hywel Francis has welcomed the recent launch of the Post Office's new Christmas Club, which is now available at all 14,000 Post Office branches nationwide.
The Christmas Club will allow customers to plan ahead for Christmas by making pre-payments at any Post Office on a Christmas Club payment card. The funds are then locked away until 1st November, when customers will be able to use the card to buy goods and services directly at retailers or to purchase gift vouchers.
Customers will also receive a booklet of special offers worth at least £100 to redeem in selected retail partners.
Dr Francis said,
"I fully support the Post Office's Christmas Club. Christmas can be an expensive time and the scheme will provide a valuable service in helping people to plan ahead and ease the financial pressures many people face at that time of year."
Application packs to join the scheme can be picked up from any Post Office branch.
