Q: What are Yiftee gifts?

A: A Yiftee™ gift is a real gift, often $20 or less, sent by smart phone or the web to say Thanks, Happy Birthday or Just Because. Yiftee™ gifts are the new way to acknowledge life's special moments, in two minutes or less. Giftees receive them on Facebook, email or text and stop by a local merchant to pick them up. When you send a Yiftee™ gift your friend will immediately receive notice via email, text or Facebook with a single-use digital credit card along with the gift and merchant descriptions and a personalized note from you. The Yiftee™ gifts work just like a regular credit card at the merchant you choose. Merchants and restaurants simply type in the 16-digit number as they would any credit card.

Sending a Yiftee™ gift to a friend almost always results in smiles – yours and theirs.

Q: Do you need a special occasion to send a Yiftee Gift?

A: No special occasion needed! Send a Yiftee™ gift anytime. Recognize a birthday, promotion, new baby, new puppy, passed (or failed) an exam, etc. without breaking the bank. What about that friend who brought you chicken soup when you were sick, or picked up your child from school when you were stuck in traffic? Send them a Yiftee gift.

Q: I just received a Yiftee gift, how do I redeem it?

A: Redeeming your Yiftee gift is as easy as using a credit card.  Each Yiftee gift comes with a prepaid, single-use digital credit card. Open the Yiftee iPhone app to view your Received Gifts; or click on the link in the email or text you received, click on the "Redeem Gift" button to access the prepaid credit card, then simply take your phone (any smart phone) or tablet to the merchant to pick up the gift by showing them the credit card.   The merchant then rings up the gift as usual charging it to the prepaid credit card.  It's that easy!

Q: How do I send a Yiftee gift?

A: Using the free Yiftee™ iPhone App or via the Yiftee™ website: Choose a real gift at a local merchant (usually $20 or less, but up to $100) or create your own using the "Build A Gift" option. Select a friend (via Facebook, email or text). Personalize it with a note. Pay with a credit card. Quick and easy!

Q: Do Yiftee™ gifts expire?

A: Yiftee™ gifts expire after 28 days. After 28 days the Yiftee™ gift will return the value of the gift to the gift giver. At any time within the 28 days the value of the gift can also be donated to charity by clicking on the "Donate" button.

Q: What is a "Build A Gift"?

A: Yiftee™ "Build A Gift" allows you to create custom Yiftee™ gifts at both our Featured Merchants and Foursquare Merchants for up to $100 to send to family & friends.

Q: Can I only send Yiftee™ gifts via Facebook?

A: In addition to sending Yiftee gifts via Facebook, Yiftee™ gifts can also be sent via text message and email. A Facebook account is not necessary to send someone a Yiftee™ gift.

Q: Do my friends have to have a Yiftee account to redeem a gift?

A: Recipients of Yiftee™ gifts do not need to create an account in order to redeem a gift. They just need to show the prepaid, single-use digital credit card to the merchant, who then rings up the gift as usual charging it to the prepaid credit card.
