There may be times you want to give a complimentary gift card to one of your guests. You might run a contest on social media and the winner receives a gift card to apply towards a trip. Or, maybe you had an unhappy guest and you would like to offer them a gift card for an opportunity to create a better experience.

 

How to Comp a Gift Card 

  • From within the Gift Card order, select Edit 

 

  • Check the box that says Complimentary 

 

  • Choose Save 

You will then see the gift card change to Complimentary and the status change to Active

 

  • Select Reserve to finalize the gift card activation 

Important Note

Typically, a gift card order status automatically changes to Reserved when a payment is applied. However, if you're comp'ing a gift card, the order does not automatically change to Reserved. It is important to complete this step, otherwise the gift card will not be redeemable.
