Activating Gift Cards
If you have ordered over £75 in your pack, and have chosen 1st class or recorded post your pack will require activating (over £500 for courier). Please email us at [email protected] with your order number before 2pm on a weekday and we can activate your pack normally by 6pm weekdays depending on the brand. Some brands take a further 24/48 working hours to load as we send these direct to the different brands. Activations are applied for up to two years after the date of purchase. Any activation requests after 2 years are not able to be honoured due to your Gift Cards expiring.
Issue with my Gift Cards
Rarely, but it can happen! We might have an issue where you have presented your card and it does not work. This could be due to an activation issue, 99% is when the card needs activating, but sometimes we find that the brand have advised to us your gift card works, and they have made an error. We work really quickly here to rectify this, including sending replacement digital gift cards for same day useage. We cannot give compensation sadly, as these issues are normally out of our hands, but we do have your best interests at heart, and we will work quickly to resolve! No one makes a mistake deliberately even the big brands!

TheGiftCardCentre use the Royal Mail to deliver your items. We use 1st and 2nd class post which can take up to five working days to arrive. For live Gift Cards over £150 we will only send out your package using special delivery, which is insured for you and paid for. If an item is out of stock we will let you know and give you the estimated delivery time, and will be able to substitute for you if you are unable to wait for another voucher, or cancel your order if required.
