What’s the difference between Gift Certificates and Gift Cards?
Are you looking to share the gift of a turkey in your workplace this holiday season? Be sure to understand the differences between Turkey Gift Certificates and Gift Cards when choosing what’s best for your employees and customers.
gThankYou! Turkey Gift Certificates allow recipients to choose any brand, size and preparation of whole turkey — Butterball®, Norbest®, Smithfield® or any other brand from major grocery stores in the U.S. Gift cards are typically not specific to a particular food type.
gThankYou Certificates are Manufacturer Coupons which are only good for specific items (such as a whole turkey or ham or groceries), have an expiration date, and provide no cash or residual value, all key differences from gift cards. They cannot be deposited in the bank or used to buy other merchandise.
Gift cards can be a great choice when it’s the right time to give recipients the option to buy any store merchandise. Gift cards are typically limited to one store or group of store brands. However, if you are looking to restrict your holiday gift to a Turkey or Ham or Groceries, it’s wise to give gThankYou! Gift Certificates and use Gift Cards when less control is more appropriate or desired.
Companies often choose gThankYou Gift Certificates because they are Manufacturer Coupons. If you are concerned with the tax implications of employee gift-giving, particularly for gift cards, please consult with your accounting or tax professional. You may find there are benefits to use gift certificates rather than gift cards when it comes to tax.
