Gift cards

Every card, and what it can actually do

A gift card is only as good as its rules, so here they are — all of them, for every card we issue. Where a card cannot do something it is shown, not hidden: that is a rule, not a missing feature.

The capability table

Every gift product on iGift is a row in this table, not a special case in code. Where a card cannot do something, the reason is the rule — not a missing feature.

How to read it

Top up — more value can be added after it is created.
Transfer — the value can be passed to someone else.
Withdraw — the value can go to a bank account. Most gift cards cannot; that is deliberate, because a gift that converts straight to cash is not a gift.
Group gift — several people can contribute to one card.
Expires — the card has an end date. When a card expires you are told before, not after.
