I Am Trying Out Gift Cards On My Site For A While And I Have To Go By Local Rules When It Comes To Gift Cards. These Rules Are
The rules state:
Gift vouchers must have no expiry date or be valid for at least 5 years - see ‘Expiry dates on gift vouchers’ below
Traders cannot specify that a gift voucher is spent in one transaction
Traders cannot charge a fee to change the name on a gift voucher (if you have to register a name on the voucher)
Times When Rules Do Not Apply
The rules do not apply to:
Vouchers you can only use to buy specified goods and services at a discounted price, from a specified trader on a specified date, or for a specified period of 3 months or less. For example, vouchers from deal websites such as Groupon or Pigsback
Vouchers issued as part of a customer loyalty or promotion scheme
Vouchers issued as a refund for goods you returned to a trader
Vouchers and gift cards sold before 2 December 2019. The expiry period and the terms and conditions that applied at the time of purchase still apply to these vouchers
The rules do not apply to electronic money gift cards.
Expiry Date Information
Under the rules, gift vouchers must either:
Have no expiry date, or
Must be valid for at least 5 years from the date the gift voucher is issued.
What If Card Go Walk About Virtually.
They Are Essentially Cash And Should Be Treated Like Cash I Cannot Issue A Replacement I May Charge A Replacement Fee If This Happens.
Thank You For Reading, This Is On A Trial Basis And I Am Just Informing People Of The Current Guidelines And Or Rules On Gift Card. If I Decide Not To Use Gift Cards This Will Be Deleted And The Option Will Be Removed From My Site.
