Gift Card and Voucher Terms and Conditions

About this document

What it’s for

Gift cards are popular but raise frequent questions about expiry dates, balances and what happens if they are lost. Clear terms protect you and your customers. Expiry periods should be reasonable and clearly shown at the point of sale.

When to use it

  • When selling gift cards or vouchers in store or online
  • When issuing promotional or compensation vouchers
  • When training staff on redeeming gift cards

What’s inside

The document is laid out in the sections below. Each one comes with a plain-English guidance note explaining what it does and what to change.

  2. Validity
  3. Using a gift card
  4. Refunds and returns

How to complete it

  • Set the validity period and choose the options
  • Print the key terms on the card or voucher and link to the full terms
  • Keep a record of cards issued and balances

Key points to check

  • Make the expiry date prominent – hidden or very short expiry periods may be unfair
  • Gift card sales may have different VAT treatment depending on whether they are single or multi-purpose – check with your accountant
