’Tis the Season for a Chase Gift Card


WEBWIRE

Cards can be used at millions of merchants worldwide that accept Visa® debit cards.

Chase is helping to make holiday shopping a lot less stressful for consumers by offering Chase Gift Cards in its nearly 3,100 bank branches across the country. Chase customers can load any amount between $25 and $500 onto the card.

Recipients like Chase Gift Cards because they can be used at millions of merchants worldwide that accept Visa® and information about the card’s current balance and purchase activity is just a phone call or a mouse click away using the contact information found on the back of the card.

This holiday season, consumers are expected to spend $26.3 billion on all gift cards, according to a recent survey conducted for the National Retail Federation. Perhaps more surprisingly, nearly all shoppers -- 87.7 % -- said they would purchase two or more gift cards for the holidays.

"Gift cards are a popular holiday gift and a great way to stick to a budget" said Ryan McInerney, head of marketing Chase’s Consumer Bank. "The Chase Gift Card provides a convenient and easy-to-use product in an attractive package"

The card comes with an appealing packet that includes an envelope and a customizable greeting card with spaces to insert both the gift card and a 4-by-6-inch photograph. There are four different greeting card images - two geared to the winter holidays and two others for non-specific celebratory events.

The gift cards, which can only be purchased by Chase customers, are available year-round for a fee of $3.50 per card. The fee is automatically waived for Chase customers with a Better Banking, Premier or Premier Platinum checking account.

Consumers may also purchase the cards for themselves to use when traveling because the cards are accepted millions of merchants worldwide.
