Abstract (en)

[origin: CA2772624A1] Gift card distribution systems and methods are described for distributing a card issuer's or a plurality of card issuer's gift cards to consumers who are potential gift givers. The gift cards can be contained within a gift card multi-pack that features a plurality of gift card packages. Each gift card package can feature one of the gift cards, a mailing envelope, a greeting card, and an instruction sheet. The gift card package may also feature an advertisement. The gift giver can then mail or deliver one of the gift cards as well as other components of the gift card package to a gift recipient. The gift card multi-pack can include several shrink-wrapped gift card packages that can be mailed to a gift giver inside of a first class postage billing envelope.
