Retail Partner Benefits

Join the OptionsCard network to access a nationwide community of happy engaged shoppers. OptionsCard holders can choose where to spend their value using e-gift cards from a range of local and national brands featured on our network.

Unlike network branded cards, open loop or restricted loop, we prefer our customers to engage with your brand directly through your own gift card, to become your customer. We want the experience of using an OptionsCard to build a trusted relationship between us and our preferred retail brand partners.

Value to our retail partner is presented by:

  • Bringing incremental sales to our retail brand partner that otherwise would not be available
  • Delivering proven up-spend on purchases over the value of give cards presented at the till

We are not a payment method or a cash substitute. We are a marketing channel for brands that delivers engaged, active customers.

To add your e-gift card to our network please get in touch.
