I visited a listed venue and they said they’re not aware of the card.

Sorry for this. Much apologies. There's a high probability that the person at the venue who checked the card probably isn't aware of the card. We apologise if you experienced this. This card usually runs on EFTPOS, so it'll only work on EFTPOS terminals. Let the personnel or management know about this and they will assist you. Many personnel in listed hotels and restaurants are well aware of our cards. So, you shouldn't face issues in listed venues.

What if my card is not accepted for payments?

Well, sorry if you experience this. But if this happens, check out the following issues:

The balance is unavailable. That means you can check the card balance to ensure it’s enough to settle the quoted bill.
The other reason is expiration. Good food gift cards expire after 36 months. This translates to three years. The expiry date can be calculated from the date the card was issued and cross-checked by the available balance.
The venue you have selected to use your card is beyond or outside listed venues. That means the hotel, restaurant, or venue you're trying to swipe your card is not recognised or listed by us.

If your card doesn't work, it has sufficient funds, and you're using it at authorised venues, you can call us using this number: 1300 375 346.

Problems with gift cards acquired from unlicensed third parties?

Our gift cards are available for sale from particular retail outlets. We can’t guarantee the validity of gift cards purchased from unauthorised vendors, including discount or auction websites not listed by us.

Gift cards obtained from unlicensed sellers may be fake or counterfeit. These cards may be associated with fraudulent activities including invoice and credit card fraud. We are not liable for any losses from unauthorised gift cards or uncertified third-party sellers. So, ensure that you purchase your gift card from a licensed vendor.

What do I do when an order I placed is declined?

We take security seriously. Verifying that orders are made by legitimate cardholders is an important part of ensuring security. If your card was declined during check-out, it's because we're unable to verify your purchase. It simply means we turned it down out of caution.

We recommend placing your order again and completing all the required personal information – names, email, phone number, and credit card information matching the cardholder's account information. After verifying, we’ll reassess your order.
