Our Story

The Love Story of Our Gift Card

We all get them. Our friends and family gift us with gift cards for our birthday, or just because they know what we like. But how often do we actually use these cards?

At my house, it’s rare to find a gift card that still has money on it. But, it might not be always the case in other houses, you might always have a few cards sitting around and not sure if there is still money on it.

A lost opportunity or wasted money? There are so many people out there who can use the money from your old gift card. This is how our idea of creating a community of gift card started back in 2008!

The History of the Gift Card

The idea behind the cards was originally developed in 1950 by a man named Roger Adams and his wife Alice when they had dinner with friends and wanted to pay their share using currency from multiple countries. The dinner took place in France and they were using U.S.-Dollar and French Francs. Eventually they came up with the idea of a card that could be used globally to make payments.

Gift cards have come a long way since then and now offer more benefits than just being able to spend at one retailer, like variety, no expiration date and cash on the card. With online gift card, it also helps to save money on shipping costs.

The love story of our gift cards may not be standard or romantic, but they will last forever! Everyone in our community contributes to our gift card directory. We want to make sure everyone can access these information freely.

How It Has Evolved

A gift card is a pre-purchased amount of money that can be used for purchases at a specific store or a number of stores. They exist to make it easier for the recipient to purchase certain goods without carrying cash. Traditionally, they’ve been paper cards, but today, you can find them in the form of plastic cards, mobile phone apps, or even text messages.

Gift cards have evolved significantly recently, and you can now find them almost anywhere you find retail stores!

Our gift card platform has also beeing evolving. We are using more AI-based machine learning technologies to keep our information up to date.

The future of the gift card is app-based.

This is a new way to give a gift card that is easy, convenient and fun. Imagine a world where you can have a digital gift card in your pocket at all times. Rather than carrying around an old-fashioned gift card in your wallet, why not have it digitally stored on your phone?

Apps are an excellent way to give a gift card and are a brilliant strategy for businesses to get customers to spend more. Apps offer a level of simplicity that other mediums cannot provide. With an app, you can make the gift card purchase as easy as possible for your customer.

Thats how our cross-platform Gift Card Balance app was developed for everyone to use.
