Purchasing Gift Certificates
Gift Certificates are purchased similarly to other items
in our store. You can pay for them using the store's standard
payment method(s). On the Gift
Certificate product page, you will be able to choose
the amount of money you wish to add to your Gift Certificate
Account (in increments of $5.00). Purchase the
total amount of all Gift Certificates that you
wish to give. Once purchased, that total will be placed
in your Gift Certificate Account where you can then choose
the exact amount and the individual you would like to
give a Gift Certificate to (you can find the total amount
available in your Gift Certificate Account in the upper
left hand column of each page when logged in).
EXAMPLE: If you would like to buy 5 gift certificates
for $20 each to give to 5 different people, simply buy
$100 of Gift Certificate value (enter "100" in the "Amount"
field on the Gift Certificate product page). Once purchased,
that $100 will be placed in YOUR Gift Certificate
Account. You can then go to the Send
or Print Gift Certificate Page and create five $20
Gift Certificates with personalized messages for each
(you must send or print each Certificate one at a time).

How to Create and
Send a Gift Certificate by Email
To send a Gift Certificate via email, you need to go to
our Send
or Print Gift Certificate Page. If you are logged
in, the link to this page is below the Shopping Cart Area
in the upper left hand column of each page. When you send
a Gift Certificate, you need to specify the following:
1.) The name of the person you are sending the Gift Certificate
to, 2.) The email address of the person you are sending
the Gift Certificate to, 3.) The amount you wish to send
(you do not have to send the full amount that is in your
Gift Certificate Account), and 4.) A personal message
(if you desire). Please ensure that you have entered all
of the information correctly, although you will be given
the opportunity to make changes before the email is actually
sent. Once confirmed and sent, the recipient will receive
details on how to redeem your gift. Sending a Gift Certificate
by email is a great option if you have a last minute gift
to purchase and will not be able to deliver it to the
recipient in person or mail by a specific date. It's also
a convenient way to send a Gift Certificate for any occasion!

How to Create
and Print a Gift Certificate
To print a Gift Certificate, you need to go to our Send
or Print Gift Certificate Page. If you are logged
in, the link to this page is below the Shopping Cart Area
in the upper left hand column of each page. When you print
a Gift Certificate, you need to specify the following:
1.) The name of the person you are sending the Gift Certificate
to, 2.) The amount you wish to give (you do not have to

Please ensure that you have entered all of the information
correctly, although you will be given the opportunity
to make changes before the printable version is created.
Our gift certificates will print in full color, but you
may choose to print in black and white if you desire.
Once you print your Gift Certificate, you may choose to
present it to a recipient in person, include it in a card
and send it by mail… or by any other means!

Buying AWS Store Items
with Gift Certificates
If you have funds in your
Gift Certificate Account, you can use those funds to purchase
any item in the AWS Store. At the checkout stage, there
will be a 'Credit Available' area with a checkbox to use
your account (found under Payment Method). Checking this
box will apply the necessary funds in your Gift Certificate
Account to your purchase. Please note that you will have
to select another payment method if there are not enough
funds in your Gift Certificate Account to cover the cost
of your purchase. If you have more funds in your Gift
Certificate Account than the total cost of your purchase,
the remaining balance will be left in your Gift Certificate
Account for future purchases.

Redeeming Gift
Certificates
If you receive a Gift Certificate by email or in printed
form, it will contain details of who the sender is and
possibly a short message from that sender. The Gift Certificate
will also contain a Claim Code. If received by email,
it is highly recommended that you print the email for
future reference. You can redeem your Gift Certificate
in two ways:
1. If received via email, click on the link contained
within the email for this specific purpose. This will
take you to the store's Redeem Gift Certificate page.
If you do not already have an account with us, you will
be requested to create an account. If you already have
an account, simply login. Simply follow the instructions
on this page. The Gift Certificate will be validated
and the amount will be placed in your Gift Certificate
Account. If you receive a printed Gift Certificate,
you can also redeem it by visiting the Redeem
Gift Certificate page and inputting the claim code
found at the bottom left of the gift certificate and
clicking on “Redeem Gift Certificate”.
2. If received via email or in printed form, you may
redeem the Gift Certificate during the checkout process.
On the Shipping and Payment Method page (under Payment
Method), there will be a box to “Enter Claim Code”.
Enter the code in this box. The code will be validated
and added to your Gift Certificate Account. The available
money in your Gift Certificate Account will be applied
toward your purchase by checking the “Credit Available”
box.
