**Redemption**
Gift cards and e-gift cards can be used as a form of payment using the methods shown on
the gift card or e-gift card for new travel bookings sold by Inspire only and cannot be used in
conjunction with any other travel provider, travel voucher or promotion.
Standalone Flight, Cruise, Eurotunnel or Ferry products may be booked when using a Gift Card and e-gift card as a form of payment but will attract a booking fee which will be
advised at the time of booking. Further travel product limitations may apply, details of such
additional limitations are printed on the gift card or provided when the e-gift card is

Illustrative Example: a calculated refund of £600 due to cancellation on a £1,000 payment
for a booking, where £200 (20%) was paid with a Gift Card, and £800 (80%) was paid on a
credit card, would result in £120 (20% of calculated refund amount) refund on to the
original gift card used on the booking and £480 (80% of calculated refund amount) refund
back to the original payment card used.

**Cancellation**
When you place an order for an e-Gift Card it can be used straight away. In doing so you
consent to it being supplied immediately and you acknowledge and accept that your right to
cancel within the 14-day cancellation period (and therefore your right to a refund) will be
immediately lost. Your statutory rights are not affected.
Inspire Europe Ltd reserves the right to amend the terms and conditions of gift cards and egift cards at any time and to take appropriate action, including the cancellation of the card,
if, in its discretion, it deems such action necessary.

How are digital gift cards delivered?
When the Thankbox is sent the recipient receives a unique and secure link to redeem their gift. They choose their currency, retailer online gift card of choice or prepaid Visa, Mastercard or PayPal transfer option, and are then sent the virtual digital gift card, individual e-voucher or transfer instructions to their Inbox.
How does the recipient spend their digital gift voucher?
Once the recipient has chosen their currency, retailer online gift card of choice or prepaid Visa, Mastercard or PayPal transfer option they can then go shopping. Ensuring to select any ‘pay by online gift voucher’ or similar option at checkout.
Many stores will also allow any virtual gift card to be used for more than one transaction, up to the gift card collection total amount. Split payments between virtual gift cards and credit cards are also common with many retailers, as are payments in physical stores, John Lewis being a good example.
Does adding to an online gift card collection have any fees?
We add a small fee to each gift contribution to cover our payment processing & fraud check costs.
This amount varies depending on the currency you are collecting in: 🇬🇧 GBP collections are charged at 1.1% + £0.17. e.g. contributing £10 means you'll pay £10.28 🇪🇺 EUR collections are charged at 2.5% + €0.17. e.g. contributing €10 means you'll pay €10.42 🇺🇸 USD collections are charged at 2.9% + $0.19. e.g. contributing $10 means you'll pay $10.48
The fee is always clearly and explicitly stated whenever someone leaves a contribution.
To minimise fees when making multiple contributions you can top up your gifting wallet once and use it for multiple Thankboxes.
Are payment details handled safely?
Thankbox uses Stripe as our payment provider. They are the gold standard for internet payments, used by companies such as Airbnb, Lyft and Booking.com. They handle all of the payment details, including security.
All collected digital gift card funds are stored in a dedicated secure bank account with restricted access.
Can I pay for my Thankbox from the collection pot?
100% you can!
It's a great way to split the cost of sending the Thankbox between all the contributors. Just pick the Pay from your gift collection balance option when checking out.
