How GiftRound works

GiftRound is a UK online group collection platform. Organisers pay no fee and contributors pay no fee, meaning 100% of contributions goes towards the gift.

Contributions can be from £1 to £250, and a single collection can receive up to £3,000. The normal collection window is up to 60 days. Messages can accompany contributions, so contributors can add a personal note alongside their gift.

Redemption is currently a FlexCard e-gift card rather than a cash withdrawal. GiftRound's terms set a maximum aggregate FlexCard value of £1,000 in one order.

What it suits

GiftRound suits groups who want every pound contributed to go towards the gift, with no fee deducted from organisers or contributors, and who are comfortable with the gift being redeemed as an e-gift card rather than cash.

The trade-offs

Because redemption is a FlexCard e-gift card rather than a cash withdrawal, GiftRound will not suit a group whose recipient specifically wants cash. The £250 per-contribution limit and £3,000 collection limit are worth checking against what your group intends to collect.
