Once enrolled it’s simple to purchase the gift card through the app and use it to buy everyday items from groceries, hardware, clothes, coffee, etc. Participants can use the app to search for participating retailers. I’m going to encourage all on the board to try it out. I’ve sent it to a few folks, but I’m the first to buy a card and start purchasing.
