Features of gift certificates

A gift certificate is an electronic document, plastic or cardboard coupon, which gives the right to make purchases for a certain amount. During ordering, the recipient enters a unique code in a special field, after which the amount is recalculated. The certificate can be used once, two forms of payment are available:

• If the amount of the order is less than the face value, the balance is burned. The buyer cannot divide the amount into parts;

• If the order amount is larger than the par value, the recipient can pay the difference with his/her own funds.

Gift vouchers can replace a standard payment if you don't want to pay cash or use a credit card. They can be an appropriate gift for holidays or any other special occasion. You can use them to control expenses (it helps avoid bank overdrafts). They are simple and easy to use.

Certificates have disadvantages as well. For example, there may be a small amount of money left over after making purchases with a gift card, and if you don't use it, it will go to waste. To reload the card, you must pay a purchase or reload fee. Closed-loop cards limit purchasing power. If you lose your voucher, you can recover it if you register it in advance or save the number. You may be charged for inactivity if you don't use the card.

In terms of gift giving, gift cards may be preferable if you don't know what to buy someone on your gift list because they allow the recipient to buy what they want and when they want it. Just keep in mind that if you choose closed-ended gift cards over open-ended ones, it limits the giver's options as to where they can use the cards.
