Gift vouchers: minimise the risk
When buying a gift voucher or gift card for friends and family, try to minimise the risk by:
- Buying vouchers that can be used at more than one outlet or chain, such as shopping centre vouchers, or gift tokens issued by trade associations
- Using a voucher as soon as possible
- Looking for a gift voucher that has a clear expiry policy
- Always checking the terms and conditions and taking special account of:
- The expiry date
- What happens to any unused portion
- Whether it can be used in every outlet in the chain
