You can now even get a gift voucher in drugstores and supermarkets, but exactly how it works is not immediately clear.
How the gift voucher works
Vouchers are still a popular gift idea for colleagues, family members or friends. If you want to give the recipient the freedom to choose what to use the voucher for, the gift voucher is a good idea.
- You can buy a gift voucher in a store, for example in a drugstore or supermarket, or online. You can choose between different designs such as “Thank you very much”, “Happy Birthday” or “Your gift card for all occasions”.
- You decide the value of the gift card: Do you want to give a gift worth 15 euros, 25 euros or more?
- Once you have given the voucher to the person you want to surprise, they can decide for themselves what to use it for. There are more than 500 partners to choose from, including Amazon, H&M, Zalando, Otto, Thalia, Poco, Ikea, Kaufland, Street One, Intersport, Media Markt and Douglas.
- To redeem a gift voucher, simply visit the website of the gift voucher, go to “Redeem voucher” and enter your code. You will find this on the back of the greeting card or on the receipt.
- Select the store where you want to shop. In some stores, the gift voucher can only be redeemed on site, but in most cases it can be redeemed online. The voucher code for the selected store will then be sent to you by email and you simply redeem it during the checkout process on the store’s website or on site.
