Smartgift cards can be purchased at participating retail stores as well as online, via this website.
A customer purchases the gift card which activates a UPC code for that pre-determined value. The customer will then use the gift card on themselves in the form of a regular contribution or they will gift it to someone.
The gift recipient will then follow the instructions on the card and visit this website. Once arriving to this website, they will click on the “redeem gift card” button. An encrypted page will come up with detailed instructions for redemption. A quick phone call to your financial advisor will give you your particular account info as well as bank transit number. This information can be saved to your computer, so it will only have to be inputted once.
An e-mail confirmation will be sent after completion of transaction. (Gift recipients can take advantage of government incentives for their investments) If a visitor has no investment account, he/she can open up an account with Investment Partners advertising on the website. If a visitor wishes to transfer the gift card to their personal bank account, the same process is available to them.
We encourage visitors to use the gift card towards their investment since that is what the giver intended it for!
