Everyone forgets one important thing about plastic gift cards
June 24, 2019 by Love2shop
Plastic gift cards can be reloadable!
We want to banish the idea that plastic gift cards are single-use, disposable products.
We stock reloadable gift cards that offer real long-term value. Reloading takes a one-off gift and turns it into a reward mechanism that works for years.
Reload your own gift card
Reloading plastic gift cards is the crux of our Everyday Benefits (EDB) service.
Staff reload their own gift cards at a discount, and make huge savings. Even a casual EDB user will save hundreds of pounds a year.
Beyond discounting gift card top-ups for staff, the card comes with other benefits. That includes:
- Cinema tickets
- Theme park tickets
- Holidays
- Other gift cards
- Supermarket card top-ups

Reload someone else’s gift card
Reloadable plastic gift cards offer you more than a one-time reward. They give you the chance to think long-term about staff rewards and customer loyalty.
Staff achievements
Topping up Everyday Benefits cards makes rewarding employees easy. You don’t need to order new rewards every time you thank staff for their achievements.
Top up their reloadable gift cards. Then thank them face-to-face, or through your company’s recognition systems, like you would anyway.
This makes it very simple for situations like:
- Large-scale team achievements
- Issuing different values of reward across a whole organisation
- Rewarding staff across multiple sites
- Needing to reward mobile or remote staff
It also works for rewarding a single employee, too. It doesn’t matter if you’re rewarding long service, reaching milestones, or anything else.
It’s simple and effective when you use a reloadable plastic gift card.
Customer gratitude
Our Member Benefits card is the customer-facing version of the Everyday Benefits card. Rewarding your customers for their positive behaviour has two benefits:
- Boosting loyalty through rewards
- Building more positive behaviour in the future
Reward for pure longevity, buying promoted products, referrals, and more. Anything that makes sense for your business and your customers.
The customer doesn’t even need their card on them – you only need to keep their card number in your database to top it up.
You can then email or call them to say thank you after the top-up. Or say it face-to-face when they’re on the premises.

By the way, if any of this sounds like a good idea for your business, get in touch. We’re experts on this, and we always want to talk about it.
