Setting Up Gift Cards with Additional Stored Value

Follow these instructions to set up a gift card that contains value additional to the purchase cost. For example, you can offer a gift card that costs $50 but has redeemable value of $60. In such a case, the basic gift card rules will load the card with the $50 payment, but the additional $10 must be applied to the card as a stored value bonus award.

1. Set up the base card that must be purchased, such as a gift card or promotional card.
2. Set up the stored value bonus rule for the additional amount to be appended to the purchased card.
3. Set up the gift card program. Gift or Debit Program Configuration Reference contains more information about setting up the program.
   1. Create a Gift or Debit program.
   2. On the Gift or Debit/Credit/Award tab, select Do Not Allow Issue/Reload and Redemption on Same Check.
   3. Make sure to configure gift card behavior using the Allow Partial Redeem, Allow Reload, Reserve for Auth, Allow Cash Out, and Cash Out limit options.
4. Set up the card accounts for the gift card program:
