The City Council of Valencia will launch from next month d ejulio a new edition of the campaign ‘VLC Trade Vouchers’, which will give away 50 euros extra to spend in stores in Valencia to all those who pay 50 euros for the value of a voucher trade. That is, the consistory will finance 50% of the value of the bonds of 100 euros to be drawn.
In collaboration with the Chamber of Commerce, and with an endowment of 1.3 million euros, this edition will especially support local commerce in those areas affected by the recent dana of October 29, 2024.
The campaign foresees the issuance of 22,238 bonds of 100 euros, with an acquisition cost for citizens of only 50 euros, since the City Council subsidizes 50% of the amount. These vouchers can be exchanged in stores participating in the campaign throughout the city of Valencia.
Requirements to get the VLC 2025 Commerce Voucher
This year, the vouchers will be drawn from July onwards. Registrations will open on the official Bono Comercio website from July 1 to July 12, 2025.
21,838 vouchers will be drawn, while 400 will be reserved for people over 65 years old, who can purchase them in person at Cámara Valencia (Poeta Querol, 15) from 1 to 30 September.
Only a maximum of one voucher per person will be available, which will be delivered in September in prepaid card format at Caixa Popular branches until November 25.
