LONDON - Kingfisher Gift Vouchers (KGV) has temporarily suspended trading following talks over the future of scheme-member Woolworths.

Woolworths shares were suspended on 26 November amid talks to rescue the 840-store chain. The retailer has been in talks with restructuring firm Hilco over its offer to buy the store for £1.

Sources close to KGV, which also runs Comet and B&Q's voucher schemes, says the company hopes to be trading as normal in 2009.

KGV was unable to comment.

I want to know the same thing. All i want to do is use my vouchers in B&Q! I have bombarded 'sales@kgv.com with tonnes of emails then found out i had to post a letter to a Rochdale still no response. I never give up!
