Retailers may set expiration dates for eGift Cards in addition to other restrictions and requirements.

If you have questions relating to the applicable Retailer terms, please contact the issuing Retailer. As the issuers of eGift Cards, Retailers (and not Giftme) are fully responsible for all aspects of their eGift Card programs. Retailers are responsible for all liabilities and costs suffered by you or any other party caused – directly or indirectly – by the Retailer or their products or services. We have no obligation to resolve any dispute between you and any Retailer.

Why do I see an extra $1 on my statement?

When you attempt to store a card to be charged later, our payment processor may send over a request to your issuing bank for either a $0 or an $1 authorization to verify that the card is issued and the bank will allow it to be authorized. Our payment processor will first attempt a $0 authorization. If the $0 authorization fails, they will then attempt a $1 authorization. Regardless of whether or not the authorization is accepted or declined, we will reverse the amount immediately thereafter it is charged. Some people may still see an authorization for $1 on their credit card statement. The important thing to remember is that this is not a charge, and it will disappear from your statement. Depending on the bank, it will be removed anywhere from a few minutes to a few weeks.

eGift Card Activation

All eGift Cards sold via our Services are activated at time of purchase. Activated eGift Cards will be available within approximately 30 seconds however additional time may be required for certain activations and are subject to each Retailer's own terms and conditions regarding activations. If your eGift Card has not been activated within five minutes of purchase, please contact us at [email protected]. In rare cases it may take up to 24 hours for activation to occur, we appreciate your patience.

Giftme Smart eGift Card Inactivity Fee Terms

Inactivity Fee Structure:

  • First Year: If the Giftme Smart eGift Card remains unused for a consecutive 12-month period from its last use or any previous balance reduction, an annual inactivity fee of 25% of the card's remaining balance will be deducted.
  • After First Year: Following the initial 12 months of inactivity, a monthly inactivity fee of 3% of the card's remaining balance will be deducted at the end of each subsequent month of inactivity.
  • Minimum Balance Clause: Should the card balance fall below JMD $100.00 due to the inactivity fees, the entire remaining balance will be forfeited. If the balance is already less than JMD $100.00 before the inactivity fee is applied, the entire balance will be set to zero.

Activity Resumption: If the Giftme Smart eGift Card is used (balance-reducing activity) occurs after an inactivity fee has been charged, no additional inactivity fee will be applied for the next 12-month cycle. The inactivity clock resets upon each balance-reducing activity, initiating a new 12-month period before any further inactivity fees can be charged.

Fee Notification: Cardholders are encouraged to regularly check the balance of their Giftme Smart eGift Cards to avoid unintentional inactivity fees. We do not send out notifications prior to deducting these fees.

No Refunds Policy: Once charged, inactivity fees are non-reversible and non-refundable (except required by law). It is the cardholder's responsibility to be aware of these terms and to use their Giftme Smart eGift Card to avoid such fees.
