GIFTS

A gift card is a prepaid stored-value money card that usually comes by a business or bank and is used as an alternative to cash for purchases made within a certain store or connected businesses. Employers and groups may also send out gift cards as presents or incentives.

 In order to encourage the recipient to visit or return to the store, retailers and marketers may also give these cards out as part of a promotion. These cards are occasionally referred to as cash cards. Typically, gift cards can only be used for transactions at the associated retail store
