How to get 10% off €50 in Dunnes online?

The €10 off €50 voucher is a popular Shop & Save offer. Here’s how to get it and use it online.

Using the Shop & Save voucher online

  • Enable Paperless Vouchers in the app: open the Dunnes Stores App, tap More > Preferences, and toggle Paperless Vouchers on (Dunnes Stores FAQ).
  • Once toggled, Shop & Save vouchers such as €10 off €50 and €5 off €25 appear in the app instead of on till receipts (Dunnes Stores FAQ).
  • From April 2, 2025, these digital vouchers can be applied to online grocery orders at checkout (The Sun (Irish edition)).

Combining with other offers

  • The €10 off €50 voucher requires a minimum €50 grocery spend before delivery fees.
  • It cannot typically be combined with other promotional vouchers on the same order – check the terms at checkout.
  • New online customers can stack the €5 off €25 welcome voucher separately on a first order.

Expiry and terms of the €10 off €50 voucher

  • Shop & Save vouchers usually expire 4–6 weeks after issue.
  • Digital vouchers follow the same expiry dates as paper ones.
  • Balance and expiry can be checked in the app under My Wallet (Dunnes Stores FAQ).
Bottom line: The €10 off €50 voucher works online once you enable paperless. Minimum spend is €50, and you’ll find it in the app after earning it in-store or online.
The catch

Shoppers who prefer paper vouchers won’t be able to use them online – only the digital version counts after the April switch.

The implication: customers who rely on paper must adopt the app to benefit from online redemption.

Can I track my Dunnes voucher balance?

Yes, you can check both gift card and Shop & Save voucher balances through two easy methods.

Checking balance via the Dunnes Stores app

  • Open the app and go to My Wallet – it shows gift card and Shop & Save voucher balances (Dunnes Stores FAQ).
  • Digital vouchers appear only when Paperless Vouchers are enabled.

Checking balance on the website

  • Visit giftcards.dunnesstores.com and enter your gift card number and PIN.
  • Shop & Save voucher balances are not displayed on this site – only gift cards.

What to do if balance is missing

  • Ensure Paperless Vouchers are toggled on in app preferences (Dunnes Stores FAQ).
  • Contact Dunnes Stores customer service if vouchers earned in-store do not appear within 24 hours.
  • Forum users on Askaboutmoney (discussion thread) have reported occasional delays – though this is not an official source.

The pattern: digital vouchers are visible only in the app, while gift cards have a dedicated web portal.

Why this matters

If you rely on paper vouchers and haven’t switched to digital, you won’t see any online balance until you toggle paperless.

What this means: tracking your vouchers requires consistent use of the app or the gift card website.

What are the benefits of using the Dunnes Stores app?

The app is central to the voucher expansion, offering several features paper users miss out on.

Digital voucher management

  • All Shop & Save vouchers earned are automatically added to the app (Dunnes Stores FAQ).
  • App users receive VALUEclub Reward vouchers earlier than paper recipients (Dunnes Stores FAQ).
  • Push notifications alert you when new vouchers are added.

Paperless vouchers option

  • Switching to digital means no more clipping till receipts – vouchers live in the app (Dunnes Stores FAQ).
  • You can switch at any time; the toggle is under More > Preferences.

Unified wallet for gift cards and vouchers

  • The app stores both gift cards and Shop & Save vouchers in one place – My Wallet.
  • Balance and expiry are visible in real time.

The trade-off: going paperless means you lose the physical receipt vouchers, but gain the convenience of online use.

How to get Dunnes Stores vouchers?

There are several ways to earn and receive vouchers, depending on how you shop.

Sign up for VALUEclub to receive vouchers

  • Join VALUEclub free at any store or online – you’ll start earning points immediately.
  • For every 100 points collected, you get a €1 VALUEclub Reward voucher (Dunnes Stores Reward Vouchers).
  • Points earned below 400 in a collection period are carried forward (Dunnes Stores Reward Vouchers).

Automatic vouchers for online grocery orders

  • New online grocery customers receive a €5 off €25 welcome voucher automatically on their first order (Dunnes Stores FAQ).
  • Shop & Save vouchers are issued based on spending thresholds – typically €10 off €50 when you spend that amount in a single transaction.

Corporate and bulk voucher purchases

  • Businesses can order corporate gift cards and vouchers through the Dunnes Stores business portal (details on the site).
  • Pricing for bulk orders is not publicly available – contact corporate sales directly.

Note: The exact spending thresholds for automatic Shop & Save vouchers are not published by Dunnes Stores; they vary by promotion.

What is the Dunnes Stores online voucher expansion?

This is the central policy change that makes digital vouchers usable online for the first time.

Rule change effective April 2, 2025

  • From April 2, 2025, all valid digital Shop & Save vouchers can be used both online and in-store (The Sun (Irish edition)).
  • Previously, digital vouchers were restricted to in-store use only.
  • The change was confirmed in a statement from Dunnes Stores to The Sun (Irish edition).

All digital Shop & Save vouchers usable online

  • This includes €10 off €50, €5 off €25, and any other Shop & Save offers loaded into the app.
  • VALUEclub Reward vouchers (e.g., €1 per 100 points) are separate and not affected by this change – they already could be used online via the app.

Implications for in-store only shoppers

  • If you never shop online, the change doesn’t affect you – digital vouchers still work in-store.
  • Paper voucher users who want online access must toggle Paperless Vouchers in the app (Dunnes Stores FAQ).
Bottom line: Dunnes Stores is moving vouchers digital-first. From April 2, if you want to use your Shop & Save vouchers online, you’ll need the app and paperless mode turned on.

What Dunnes Stores says

“We are making it easier for customers to use their digital vouchers however they choose to shop.”

— Dunnes Stores spokesperson, as reported by The Sun (Irish edition)

“You can switch to digital vouchers at any time; to switch, open your Dunnes Stores App and tap ‘More’ -> ‘Preferences’ and toggle ‘Paperless Vouchers’ on.”

— Dunnes Stores FAQ

For Irish shoppers who have been waiting to use their Shop & Save vouchers online, the expansion is a real step forward. The catch: you must embrace the app and go paperless. Anyone who wants to keep clipping receipts can still use vouchers in-store, but they’ll miss out on the convenience of online redemption and earlier Reward vouchers. For the growing number of online grocery customers, the choice is clear: download the app, toggle paperless, and start saving from April 2.
