The REDS Card works in the same way as a typical store gift card, but the recipient can choose to spend the balance with a wide range of participating businesses in rural towns, villages and the countryside across Scotland – including isle20!
Find out more about REDS here, (Rural Enterprise Directory Scotland) and about the Gift Card scheme here.
Whether you’re visiting a shop in person, or using it online, every REDS Card purchased is a boost for our rural and island economies.
I bought two cards for my two daughters’ birthdays in Jan and Feb. it was really useful to have them sent directly to their addresses after my purchase online.
However, they found the cards difficult to use, as there was no instruction for where to enter the card code when they wanted to purchase. It had to go into the ‘credit card’ rather than gift card, to enter. Also, if their purchase came to £18.50 with postage, there would be £1.50 left on the REDS card which could not be used. There is no facility for topping up for a purchase, using their own bank or credit cards, and the £1.50 left would apparently be ‘lost’.
Great choices and the gift card was a perfect gift for friends. Good website and card came in time for Christmas. I would shop from this site again.
A great website. Easy to use. Prompt and efficient service. 😊
