APPLICATION

An Issuer Member of The Australian Gift & Prepaid Card Association will be selling a gift card, gift voucher or an electronic voucher which can be exchanged for goods or services to the value presented on the voucher or for a specific service as detailed on the voucher. Issuer membership falls into three categories:

⦁ Voucher Issuers and Redeemers - companies providing an in-house branded voucher scheme redeemable only within their own organisation or trading group. These vouchers may originate from either the corporate/incentive route or from their own retail sales.
⦁ Multi-Retail Voucher Issuers - Companies issuing and administering vouchers redeemable at many retail outlets participating in the scheme.
⦁ Open loop scheme vouchers - Companies issuing and administering vouchers which operate via a payment scheme network and are redeemable at many retail outlets participating in the scheme, and operate under relevant scheme rules.

A Service Member will be providing a support service to the Issuing Members in the gift cards, voucher and stored value market. This can be a security paper printer, a manufacturer of gift cards, platform providers/operators or a provider of consultation, marketing and/or fulfilment services to the market. The Executive Committee shall determine from time to time the range and scope of this membership category.

A Distribution Member will be distributing a range of other retailer’s Gift Cards, vouchers or stored value solutions through their physical or digital environments. These can include retail outlets offering a Gift Card mall proposition or a rewards and loyalty program offering Gift Cards, vouchers or stored value solutions as part of their program. The Executive Committee shall determine from time to time the range and scope of this membership category.

A Supporting Member will offer products or services to the Gift and Prepaid Cards value chain. This type of membership may be limited in its duration or purpose. The Executive Committee shall determine from time to time the range and scope of this membership category.
