In the previous issue of Pursuits & Possibilities, we wanted to unwrap the mystery of gift cards and discover how popular they really are.
Based on your responses, it seems they’re a runaway hit. Most of you (84%) have given gift cards as presents to family and friends over the past year. Almost a third (31.9%) of readers said that they gave between three and five gift cards. Another 19% said they’ve given between six and nine, and 17% gave out 10 or more!
Convenient giving
Gift cards are a great choice because you know that your friend or family member is getting a gift they really want.
And now there’s an even better option that offers more choice than ever before: the Visa* Gift Card issued by RBC. What sets this card apart?
- When you give the Visa Gift Card, the recipient can purchase any item or service they want, wherever Visa is accepted. That means more freedom to choose the exact gift that’s right for them — from practical to whimsical, large to small, everyday to exotic.
- Sophisticated security features make the Card unique. An easy online registration process offers protection and allows the Card to be easily replaced if it’s lost or stolen, making it much safer than cash, cheques or regular store gift cards.
- You receive each Visa Gift Card in an attractive presentation wallet, so there’s no need to buy special packaging or even a greeting card.
- Recipients will be proud to shop with a Card bearing distinctive and attractive imagery, including the limited-edition Vancouver 2010 series of cards. Available exclusively from RBC throughout 2009, these cards celebrate the spirit of the Vancouver 2010 Olympic Winter Games and also acknowledge the cardholder as an Olympic supporter.
- Visa Gift Cards can be purchased in any amount you wish, from $25 to $500.
- Visa Gift Cards provide ultimate convenience for the recipient, who can check the balance quickly and easily online at www.myrbccardbalance.com.
