BIZNOTE: West Seattle Junction launches multi-business ‘gift card’

With the holidays not so far away, the West Seattle Junction Association is launching something new – a digital “gift card” good at multiple Junction businesses. You can buy a card by going here – choose an amount, create an account, buy the “card,” send it to your chosen recipient via email or text. (No plastic card available – the program is all digital.) WSJA executive director Lora Radford says, “We’re just getting started – it’ll be exciting to see the merchants roll onto the program.” Four are signed up so far in the very early going: Pegasus Book Exchange, Virago Gallery, VAIN, and Doll Parts Collective – you can check the website to see who else signs up as the weeks go by. Follow that same link for all the fine print – how it works, what fees are involved, etc.

    Fantastic! My Christmas shopping is done early this year.

    It’s a good idea, but the fine print is a killer: “Unless prohibited by law, a $3.00 fee will be deducted monthly from
    Voucher balance starting 1st day after 12 months of inactivity”

    Elton – the fee is applicable only if the card hasn’t been used in 12 months.

      Not 100% on this, but I thought the state of Washington has no expiration date and could only subtract money if the gift card was inactive for 2 years.

    I love this idea and look forward to more junction merchants signing on.
