If your eGift Card shows as invalid or you are unable to redeem it, please follow the steps below to identify and resolve the issue.
1. Check the eGift Card Expiry Date
• Make sure your eGift Card is still within its validity period.
• The expiry date is printed directly on the eGift Card itself.
• Please note that expired eGift Card cannot be redeemed or extended, so it’s important to use your eGift Card before it expires.
2. Verify Merchant Compatibility
• Confirm that your eGift Card is being redeemed according to the instructions provided.
• Some eGift Cards are merchant-specific and cannot be used at other stores, websites, or apps.
• Follow the redemption steps exactly, including any restrictions on products, services, or promotions, to avoid errors.
3. Check the Redemption Method
In-Store Redemption
• Present the eGift Card code or barcode/QR code at the cashier.
• Avoid using printouts or screenshots if the eGift Card requires digital display.
• Refresh the barcode/QR code page before presenting, as some codes may be dynamic.
• Some eGift Cards may not be applicable at self-service kiosks, so confirm with the cashier.
• Check if the eGift Card is valid for the items or services you are purchasing.
Online Redemption
• Enter the eGift Card code exactly as provided, including letters, numbers, and capitalization.
• Avoid extra spaces before or after the code; copy-paste is recommended.
• Enter the code at the designated section as per the redemption instructions, as some websites have different areas for eGift Card code entry.
• Ensure you are redeeming on the correct website or app specified by the eGift Card.
• Certain eGift Cards may be restricted to specific product categories or cannot be combined with other promotions.
• Refresh the page or try a different browser if the system shows an error.
• Some eGift Cards might require redirection to the merchant’s website to display the eGift Card code or to add the eGift Card directly to the merchant app.
Use the “Copy Link” Button (If Available):
- On your eGift Card page, click the “Copy Link” button.
- Open a new browser window on your device.
- Paste the copied link into the address bar and go to the page.
- The page will either:
- Display the eGift Card code for redemption, or
- Redirect you to the merchant’s page to add the eGift Card directly to your merchant app.
This is helpful if the voucher was originally opened in an in-app browser, which may block the code display or prevent proper redirection.
4. If the Issue Persists
If the above steps do not resolve your concern, you can:
• Contact your reward provider or platform for verification.
• In-store: Ask the store manager for assistance.
• Online: Reach out to the merchant’s website support team.
