Ok, I don't know where to put this thread so I will put it here. I had a couple of guest who wanted the decorating bottle set when they were on stop sell, they were outside orders and bumped up the host to the next level so I orderd a gc for the bottles and had it shipped to my house. When I go online to place an order like a customer its not giving me an option to input and gc as payment. Anyone know what to do?

Thanks
 
There should've been instructions that came with the GC, but I think you have to physically send the order in. but I could be wrong.
 
Did you go to the main website? You cannot redeem them on your own website, you have to go to PC's customer home page and go to the top under Products, Etc. Then go down to Gift Certificate, then to redeem gift certificates.

You do not have to send them in, you can redeem them on the pc main website.

Thanks Jennifer, I was able to figure it out with your help, but that was a real pain, who would have known you have to go to a special area to use a gc.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why can't I use my gift card to place an online order?

There may be several reasons why your gift card isn't working for online orders. Common issues include the gift card not being activated, insufficient balance on the card, or the card being expired. Ensure that your gift card is valid and has enough funds to cover your purchase.

How can I check the balance on my gift card?

You can check the balance on your gift card by visiting the website of the retailer that issued the card or by calling their customer service. They will typically provide a way to enter your card number and PIN to view the remaining balance.

What should I do if my gift card is not accepted during checkout?

If your gift card is not accepted during checkout, first double-check that you entered the card information correctly. If the information is correct and the card is still not working, contact customer service for assistance. They can help troubleshoot the issue and determine if there are any restrictions on the card.

Can I combine my gift card with other payment methods?

Many retailers allow you to combine gift cards with other payment methods, such as credit or debit cards. However, this policy can vary by retailer. Check the specific payment policies on the website or contact customer service for clarification.

What should I do if my gift card is lost or stolen?

If your gift card is lost or stolen, contact the customer service department of the retailer that issued the card as soon as possible. They may be able to issue a replacement card if you can provide proof of purchase or the card number. Be sure to report the loss to prevent unauthorized use.
