Gift card
A gift card grants the right to purchase according to the conditions set by its issuer. Its face value, validity period, participating retailers, and terms of use must be known. The digital format facilitates distribution but does not eliminate the need for information, collection, and assistance.
A concrete example
A member exchanges their points for a digital voucher. They must know the retailer, value, validity period, and terms of use before confirming.
A point to consider
Issuance of the code, activation, and use are three different steps. Provide support without exposing codes in reporting tools.
Verify usage before distribution
Create a record for each offer: country, currency, retailers, accepted channels, validity, terms and conditions for combining offers, and support. Test the process of retrieving the code on mobile and its re-issuance according to the issuer's rules. Tracking should distinguish between sending, receiving, and any usage when this information is available. Do not promise usage tracking that the issuer does not provide.
Questions to ask your team
- Is the card usable in the beneficiary's country?
- Are important restrictions visible before ordering?
