Example of a Use Case:
Zomato:
If there is an offer such as “6% Cashback and 900% Cashback points” offered on Zomato. If a user has an order bill of Rs 1000/- on Zomato, he can buy a gift card for that amount at Paytm and get 6% cashback on Paytm. He can then pay the bill amount by redeeming the code on the app. This 6% cashback is over and above the in-app offers. Users can also choose to top up the Zomato Gift card balance for any amount in one go and make payments using Zomato Gift Card balance through a simple click.
Alternatively, if the customer chooses the cashback points offer, he will receive 9000 Points which can be redeemed across various deals listed on our points catalog – Jackpot offers, Deals at Rs. 1, purchase other gift cards or choose to convert into Paytm Cash.
However, there are instances when the user can encounter difficulties in redeeming the gift card. Some of the common reasons include:
– Expiration Dates and Restrictions: Many gift cards have expiration dates or restrictions on their use, such as specific days or times. Also check the restriction or term and conditions of the gift card you are redeeming.
