Gift Card FAQ's
Whether you’re shopping for a member of your family, a friend or a colleague you’ll always get a delighted ‘thank you’ when you give an intu Chapelfield Gift Card. Flexible and more fun, the advantage of a gift card is that recipients can choose the present they really want from the store they really love.
That’s because a gift card is the only present that lets people choose anything they want up to the value of the card from over 90 shops, cafés and restaurants at intu Chapelfield. What’s more, they can spend a little bit of the balance at a time – just like on a debit card. So that covers the coat from House of Fraser and a coffee in Costa to celebrate.
