• For ample choice, we should choose a kind of voucher that can be used at more than one shop.
• Check out the expiry date attached to the gift voucher.
• Check whether the expiry date could be extended, if need be.
• Check how the voucher could be used: whether it should be used at one go or in the case a product of a lesser value is bought, whether a new voucher with the remaining value can be issued.
• As receivers of gift vouchers we should make sure to use them and not to lose them.
• When we are not allowed to use gift vouchers as promised, we may file a complaint with the Office for Consumer Affairs.
