LIFE HACK: Buy and sell unwanted vouchers with Zeek

Posted By: Kate RussellPosted date: December 18, 2014

If you’re stuck for ideas when buying a gift picking up a voucher is probably the safest option. Zeek is an open market place for people to buy and sell unwanted vouchers, so you could save a little cash on the transaction or offload any vouchers you receive from an outlet you’re not that keen on. Download the free app on iOS or Android and you can browse what’s on offer and click to buy. If you’re selling you need to scan the voucher, set your price and send it off to the people at Zeek. They will put it on their books until someone snaps it up. The funds will be credited to you within 14 days of the sale. It’s only operational in Israel and the UK right now, with more locations due to roll out, starting with the USA next year. Right now there is no fee for transactions in the UK to promote the launch, but the developers say a flat fee of £3.00 per sale will be applied after this promotional offer ends.
