How long is the gift card valid?

Twelve months from activation in the Glede app. We send SMS and email reminders as the expiry date approaches.

Does it cost anything to use?

No. The recipient pays no fees when using the gift card. The 3 % service fee is a one-time cost paid at purchase.

Can it be used at an ATM?

No. Because the gift card can be given tax-free to employees, it cannot be used for financial services such as ATM withdrawals or money transfers.

Yes. You can download the gift card as a PDF with a QR code that takes the recipient straight to the gift. Select "Gift link" as the delivery method when ordering.

How does the recipient get the gift card?
