Skype and PCHome sell Skype Credit vouchers in Taiwan Family Mart

By My status Jaanus on June 7, 2006 in Partner news and campaigns.

Remember [Sainsbury's](http://share.skype.com/sites/partners/2006/05/skype_partners_with_sainsburys.html)? Skype and PCHome Online are doing a similar thing in Taiwan in Family Mart stores already since April. Family Mart has over 1800 stores in Taiwan.

When you go to buy a voucher, you just select one from the directory and it gets added to your receipt. So when you do your shopping and get your receipt, it will have the Skype Credit voucher code printed on it. You then proceed to [PCHome-Skype web site](http://skype.pchome.com.tw/) and click the right link (I won't tell you which one -- you need to know the language :-) to redeem the voucher and get the Skype Credit added to your Skype Name.

I hear that selling Skype Credit using vouchers this way works differently in different countries due to cultural differences. In Taiwan people don't really use credit cards online that much, they like buying vouchers this way a lot.

Here are some more posters on display in the Family Mart stores about this campaign.

Sorry to hear you've had problems redeeming vouchers - please get in touch with PCHome who should be able to help out.

It has been impossible to redeem the two vouchers I bought from Family Mart. The first one was reimbursed (thanks) but I hope the SKYPE can again normalize the process of redeeming vouchers. I had been enjoying using it for almost 3 years...
