The discounted gift cards we offer are e-gift cards or virtual gift cards. This means that instead of having a physical gift card you can scan in-store, the gift card is sent to your email address. You can print it out if you prefer, or use it straight from your phone when you're out and about.
🛍 If you're in-store, ask the cashier to scan the QR code in the gift card when you're at the till.
💻 If you're shopping online, the gift card will contain a unique code. Enter this code during checkout when prompted. There will be a section during the checkout process where you can add a gift card or a voucher code.
💡 Not all gift cards can be used in-store - please check the gift card portal for details and for any excluded stores.
