Certificates are usually fully transferable and in face make perfect gifts for friends, family or holidays.

Keep the certificates you purchase in a safe place until you are ready to use them.

RESTRICTIONS

All certificates are subject to any restrictions or conditions listed on them.

These restrictions must be observed. If you have questions please ask a Smart Shopper Show host or station associate to explain any restrictions.

We encourage you to try different businesses and not to use a certificate every time you visit a given business. Keep in mind that The Smart Shopper Show exists to introduce you to new businesses and save you money. Whenever possible please spend over and above the value of the gift certificate. Be a repeat customer. This will help keep the Smart Shopper a "win, win, win" experience, not just for you, but also for participating businesses..

EXCHANGE POLICY

If a valid certificate does not work, please contact us prior to the expiration date listed on the certificate. At our option we will exchange it for another certificate of equal purchase price. For example, if you purchased a $20 certificate for $8 dollars, you would be credited $8 towards the purchase of another certificate(s).
