Before Buying a Gift Card

Although buying and gifting an gift card can appear easy, there's an array of variables which can determine the outcome of this transaction. Here are some things to take into consideration when choosing gift cards

1) Start with a Gift Card When you've decided to buy a gift card it is important to consider long and thoughtfully who the gift card is meant for. The amount and kind of gift card must match the character, style, and preferences of the person receiving it. One of the main reasons that retailers prefer gift cards is that consumers often buy more than the value of the gift card therefore, ensure that you make sure you activate the card with enough value to be able to purchase a good present.

2) The type of gift card There are two major types of gift cards that you can select from: store-specific and general-purpose. A gift card that is specific to a store is more personal and sentimental approach since it says, "Hey, I know what you like and where you like to shop!" Do Aunt Vera have an addiction to sweets? Pick a delicious chocolate gift card from brands like of Ghirardelli or Fanny Farmer. Do you have a nephew who is very selective in regards to clothing? Consider a gift card that to use in his preferred store within a certain mall.

3) Take a look at the fine print If you are giving an gift card, do not overlook the fine print. Inexpensive service or activation charges and costs for shipping and handling, definitely dampen the experience of gifting or receiving this type of gift. In general the gift cards that are specifically designed for stores have less fees than cards that are general-purpose that are issued by companies such as Mastercard and Visa.

4) Internet vs. Store Gift Cards The majority of gift cards allow you to purchase items from local and online shops however, some do not. When you purchase the gift card, inquire whether it can be utilized, and consider the person who will be receiving this gift. What kind of gift card are they most likely to purchase? Do they spend much time on the Internet and feel comfortable making purchases online? Perhaps they would prefer visiting the local store? Make sure to purchase the right gift card for them that matches.

5) Electronic Gift Cards or certificates: When you are short on time it is possible to buy a gift card from an online store and get it sent directly to the person receiving it. The emails include an authorization code which must be entered on an online form of purchase when you make a purchase to make the gift effective. These "e-gift" cards are certainly useful, but as they nearly all the time require online purchase be aware of this when purchasing.

6) The Gift Card Scams: It's feasible for gift card to be played in any way, which is astonishing how clever thieves are. In one scam, thieves take note of the identification information on gift cards available for sale, and frequently call to verify whether they're activated. If they have using the order code/PINS for shopping online, draining the cards of their value prior to you receive they are returned. Make sure you examine both sides of the cards before you purchase them, looking out for any indications of tampering or the exposed PINs of the cards. After purchasing gift cards in the store, ask for the clerk to take a picture of your card to confirm that the card you purchased is genuine and has the correct value. (This can protect you from the possibility of the card being exchanged from its package to a zero balance one.) Do not purchase them through auction sites . According to the National Retail Federation, many of these cards are stolen or fake.
