How to redeem your code

First, locate your claim code on the e-mail or paper gift card you received.

To redeem your gift card with a paper gift card:
  • Go to our website and log-in or create an account
  • Once you have logged-in click on the "My Account" tab
  • Click on the "Gift Card" tab
  • Under the "Register" section enter your claim code and click "Apply"
  • Your gift card funds will automatically be applied to your Gift Card Balance.
  • Your gift card funds will automatically be applied to your next order.
  • Your gift card balance will be stored in Your Account. We will automatically apply any available balance towards future orders unless you decide otherwise.

To redeem your gift card via email:
  • Click on "Register"
  • You will be directed to our website and prompted to log-in
  • Either log-in to your account or create an account with us
  • Once you have logged in click on the "Balance" tab
  • Your gift card code was automatically added to your account once you logged-in. The Balance should reflect the new balance and show your recently added gift card code.

If you want to check out without using your gift card balance, you can deselect the check box next to "Use your $X.XX Gift Card Balance" on the same page you select your other payment method options.

Restrictions for using your gift card balance

Gift Cards must be redeemed within the same season in which they are purchased. Gift Cards expire at the end of the season in which they are purchased.

Gift Cards cannot be used to purchase other gift cards or applied to any order containing another gift card.

Refunding gift card purchases

All sales are final.

Checking your gift card balance

You can find your current gift card balance and usage history in Your Account under the "Gift Cards" tab.

Once you have entered the claim code on our site, we will keep the balance in your account for use on future purchases, so you do not need to enter the claim code again when you place your next order. (The original expiration date, if any, applies to any unused funds.)

If your order total is more than your gift card funds, the extra can be paid for by credit card.

You will see gift card funds reflected in the cost summary. If the funds do not show up there and your gift card has not expired, you might have more than one account; please contact us.
Buying

How to purchase a gift card

Go to our gift cards page.

Under "Browse Designs" select the design you want to customize by clicking on it.

You will have the option to print the gift card or email it to the recipient. After you have customized the gift card with all the necessary information click on "add to cart" and you can proceed to checkout.

If you would like to order another gift card you can go through the same process without proceeding to checkout.

Removing a gift card from your order

To remove a gift card from your order before an order has been processed, click on "Shopping Cart" and select the check box next to the gift card you wish to remove from your order. On the bottom left corner of your screen click "Remove selected items".

Printing a gift card

Printing a gift card requires a PDF reader, such as Adobe PDF Reader. Available at http://get.adobe.com/reader.

Once your order is complete, click on the "Print gift card" button. This will open the gift card PDF in a new window or tab. Print the PDF document and follow the folding instructions on the first page.

Resending a gift card

To resend a gift card you can either call 312.374.8835 or log-in to your account, select "My Account", then click "Gift Card", finally select "Orders". Locate the gift card you wish to resend and click on "remind" under the "Actions" columns to the respective gift card. Enter the appropriate information and click on the "submit" button to resend the gift card.

Gift cards can only be resent once every 30 calendar days.

Refunding a purchased gift card

Purchased gift cards can only be refunded back to the purchaser in the case the gift card has not been registered.
Troubleshoot

I am unable to redeem a gift card code

If you are receiving an error message that says the gift card has already been redeemed, this usually happens because the gift card claim code has already been redeemed to your account. Once you have entered the claim code on our site, we will keep the balance in your account for use on future purchases; you do not need to enter the claim code again. To confirm the funds are already on your account, view your gift card balance in Your Account

If this is not the problem, check the Terms & Conditions to make sure your order meets the rules and restrictions for paying with a gift card.

If you are still having trouble after following the above steps, please contact us. 312.374.8835
