WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF GIFT CARDS?
While there’s nothing better than watching a loved one unwrapping a present you’ve personally selected and seeing their eyes light up, there’s a lot of margin for error. Gift cards and vouchers eliminate the chance your giftee could dislike, or want to return or exchange, their gift. You can still add a personal element to the present by purchasing them a gift card from a retailer or brand you know they love. Better still, you don’t even have to leave your house to make the purchase – you can order in an instant online from the comfort of your couch.
HOW LONG DO GIFT CARDS LAST IN AUSTRALIA?
Thanks to consumer laws that came into place in November 2019, gift cards sold in Australia from this point onwards are valid for a minimum three year expiry period. All gift cards must display the expiry dates.
