I’ve lost my gift card, what can I do?
Gift cards don’t have any security attached to them, it’s simply a swipe of the card. Due to this, the card has to be treated as cash, and anything which has been spent before we have been alerted to the card being missing will be lost.
If you are able to remember the card number, or have the original receipt with the card number on it, please contact us and we can cancel the card and transfer the balance onto a new card.
If you have made any purchases using the card, please provide as many details of this sale as possible – date, store, what they bought, the total spent – and we can try to find their transaction to locate the gift card number. If we can find the transaction, we can then locate the last six digits of the card number. We can then transfer the balance onto a new card.
If you have not made a purchase using the card and do not have proof of purchase or receipt, then there is nothing we can do for the customer.
