3 -4 days after placing the order please contact us. We may
need to cancel your original order and issue you with a new gift
voucher. In this situation we would ask you to destroy the
original voucher if it is eventually received as it will no longer
be valid.

You can cancel your order at any point by selecting the 'Cancel
Order' button; however if you have completed the transaction and
realise that you've made a mistake or purchased a gift voucher(s)
that you no longer want, we will be happy to refund your card
(provided the transaction has taken place within the last 7 days
and subject to the individual hotel's terms and conditions) and
cancel the gift voucher order. Please note, One Big Deal voucher
terms and conditions are held separately. You can find the terms

order by using the 'Remove' button.
If you would like to purchase more than 1 of the same type of
gift voucher simply enter the amount of gift vouchers you would

to purchase 10 Afternoon Tea gift vouchers, select the Afternoon
Tea gift voucher and then enter 10 in the Quantity box and click on

personal messages for each of the vouchers in your order.

Can I extend the validity of my gift voucher?

voucher, however we cannot guarantee this. Please contact us
(the hotel) directly to check if we can offer an extension.
See 'Contact Us' page for our contact details.
My Gift card transaction has failed
There could be several reasons why this may be happening.
Despite there being sufficient funds in an account, banks
occasionally decline payments due to it being unusual buying
behaviour.
This can be easily rectified by contacting the bank and advising
them that you are trying to make an online purchase.
Please contact SK Chase directly for further help on [email protected].
Can gift cards be re-issued?
Yes. Please contact us directly quoting your gift voucher
reference number and we will make the necessary amendments and
re-issue the gift voucher. The original gift voucher should
then be destroyed as it will no longer be valid.
If you are unhappy with any aspect of the presentation of your
gift voucher please contact us immediately so that we rectify the
situation.
I have received a gift voucher but I don't know who it's from.
Yes. Occasionally the person buying the gift voucher may
ask for the gift vouchers to be sent to the recipient directly but
forget to add who the gift is from.
We have all of the buyers details stored on our system so we can
easily retrieve your order and tell you who purchased the gift
voucher.
What do I do if I've lost my voucher?
Unless otherwise specified under the terms and conditions of
your voucher, we should be able to retrieve your gift voucher on
our system by carrying out a name search so please contact us. (See
'Contact Us' page)
Alternatively if you would like another gift voucher issued we
can cancel the original and issue another one.
Can I break up the spend of my gift voucher?
All gift vouchers do state that no change will be given however
it may be possible for us to re-process the order in smaller
denominations so that you can redeem the smaller value vouchers on
several occasions rather than one voucher on one occasion.
Alternatively we may be able to give you change back in gift
voucher form.
Are you able to provide me with a VAT receipt?
VAT receipts can only be issued by the hotel, as you have
purchased one of their gift vouchers.
If you require a VAT receipt please contact the hotel
directly.
When does my voucher expire?
All monetary gift vouchers are valid for 12 months and all
experience vouchers are valid for 6 months unless otherwise
stated.
