Remember that your gift card is subject to terms and conditions that govern its use. For information on these terms and conditions, see Terms.
Remember that your gift card is issued by the Card Issuer. For information about the Card Issuer, see Card Issuer.
Remember that your gift card is redeemable only up to the available balance of the card. You should keep track of the card balance. For information on how to make balance inquiries, see Balance Inquiry.
Remember that your card is a single load card. As a result, after your card is purchased, you cannot add or load additional value to the card.
Remember that your gift card is redeemable to purchase gift cards at www.tangocard.com/reward-catalog. For information on GC/Tango, visit www.tangocard.com.
Remember that your Tango Rewards Link gift card is redeemable only to purchase other gift cards and, unless required by law, is not redeemable for cash even if your gift card has a small remaining balance. A limited number of states have enacted statutes that require gift cards to be redeemable for cash in certain circumstances that are set forth in the statues. Most of the statues require gift cards to be redeemable for cash upon the consumer's request when the balance of the card is less than a specified dollar amount. For inquiries or additional information, see Contact us.
Remember that your card is not usable to make "card not present" purchases.
Remember that your gift card cannot be used in any illegal transaction.
Remember that the initial available balance on your card will be an amount set at the time of activation and/or purchase. Thereafter, the available balance will be reduced by each authorized use of the card or as otherwise provided in the terms and conditions except as prohibited by law.
Remember that if you use your card to make a purchase for less than the available balance of the card, the remaining balance will not be paid in cash to you, unless a cash payment is otherwise required by law. See Tip on "Goods, Services, Cash" above.
Remember that if you use your card to make a purchase that exceeds the available balance of the card, the transaction will be declined. If you wish to use the card to make a purchase that exceeds the available balance on the card, you must combine the use of the card with another acceptable form of payment such as cash, check or another payment card.
Remember that any returns or exchanges of goods purchased with your gift card will be governed by the policies of Tango governing returns and exchanges.
Remember that some establishments (like restaurants, spas and salons) typically accept gratuities or tips. If you use your gift card to pay for a meal or service at such establishments, the establishment will request authorization to accept the gift card. At that time, the establishment may not know the amount of the actual gratuity. Therefore, in requesting authorization, the establishment likely will add an estimated amount to the price of the meal or service to cover a gratuity. If the available balance on your gift card is not sufficient to cover the cost of the meal or service plus the estimated gratuity, your gift card may be declined. If the available balance is sufficient, a “hold” may be placed on the available balance for several days in the amount of the cost of the meal or service plus the estimated gratuity. During this time period, you will not be able to use the amount that was placed on “hold” even if the estimated amount exceeds the actual cost of the meal or service plus the gratuity.
Remember that if you have not used your gift card within a time period set by state law, the unused card balance may become subject to escheat under various state unclaimed property statutes. These time periods set by state law usually are two, three or five year periods. If the remaining card balance becomes unclaimed property subject to a state unclaimed property law, the Card Issuer may be required to escheat the card balance to a state in an amount and at the time required by the state law. At that time, you may lose the ability to use your gift card. If this occurs with respect to your gift card, you may inquire about the status of your card by contacting us. See Contact Us. For information about escheat and unclaimed property, visit www.unclaimed.org.
Remember that your card is a limited-value and limited-use store card. It is not a credit card, a debit card, asset account, or a deposit account. Your gift card is not a bank issued card. The funds loaded on the gift card are not segregated or kept in a fund pending use of the card. Therefore, the gift card obligation is not backed by segregated cash funds.
Remember to safeguard your gift card. Although it is not cash, you should safeguard your card like cash. Your card is not subject to replacement if it is lost, stolen or damaged. Therefore, you will bear the risk of any lost, stolen or damaged gift card.
Remember that if you have questions about your card, you can contact us. For inquiries, see Contact Us.
