Gift cards are coupons that can be generated from the Lydia app and used for purchases made in stores or on the Internet. Gift cards are the perfect present if you don't know what you should buy for a birthday. You can even get bonuses when creating gift cards!
Why should I create a gift card
Picking a gift out for someone can be difficult! Especially when it comes to group gifts thanks to money pooled in money pots.
Good news! The gift card feature has numerous advantages:
- Lydia gift cards can be redeemed at numerous merchants in various sectors: interior design and decoration, clothing, home appliances and electronics, sporting goods, arts and entertainment, and large retailers.
- Gift cards are eligible for bonuses (ex. Users get a 5 € bonus for every 100 € gift card purchase)
- Users can use a part of any collected funds to offer a gift card, if they’d like to purchase other gifts as well.
- Users can create several gift cards at different merchants.
