Gift card as part of wedding gift, should one write in the amount somewhere?  email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 84/100. TremendousMachine (615) 3 years ago

Bought a $100 gift card from a department store, the amount is not shown anywhere on the card. Later, I requested a slip showing the amount. Should I leave that slip with the card or should I write down the amount somewhere?

I would write it on the back of the card. It can be aquward to get a gift card and be unsure of the amount. The couple may loose the slip but they will not loose the card and it will make it easier to plan what they are going to buy and therefore write the thankyou card sooner if it is on there somewhere.

Thank you for the quick answer. I think I will do that.

It's good to do both. If you give them the slip, they can prove that there is money on the card. Sometimes when you buy a gift card, the cashier makes a mistake and doesn't apply the money to the card. Hence, a slip proves that there was money placed on the card. thumbupthumbupthumbup

Do both? That's an idea. Thank you for the fast answer. I was a bit paranoid after I bought the gift card so I went back to another cashier to double check on the amount and that is the slip I was thinking of leaving with the card.
