Mr Paul Peters

Giving gifts to loved ones can sometimes be a herculean task as oftentimes we are faced with the problem of knowing or choosing the appropriate gifts for them. Sometimes we give the wrong gifts after so much hassle, because you have to first, think of what the person means to me and when you finally pencil it down, then have to decide where do I buy it, when you finally settle that, then you are faced with how much it will cost and when you finally settle that, how do I give them? Now , with just two days to Valentine, and you are still faced with the dilemma of choosing an ideal gift for your loved one, Paul Peters CEO of the Gold Gift Card company, is willing to take the stress of you with a Gold Gift Card, which makes a perfect gift this Valentine, it saves you the trouble and off course affords your partner the opportunity of buying whatever gift they choose. According to Paul Peters, the card designed like the ATM card size, comes most times in a greeting card, so you may not need to buy a greeting card, just put it inside it and pass it to whoever you want to give it to. Speaking on the security of the card, he informs that “ the card is verve security verified, it is very secured and has a pincode, so the person can use it to shop wherever he or she likes”

Another interesting thing particularly for Christmas period, is giving the cards to customers with an option to be able to draw cash and also use it to shop. Peters informs that other values that comes with the card includes getting discounts from outlets “if you are shopping with a gold gift card. To some specific shops , you’ll get a discount with our card” he said .

On places where the cards can be used he said “You can use them anywhere there is Interswitch POS;a machine that takes cash payment, if you go to those shops you will see inter switch logo but if you have any challenge when using the cards our numbers are at the back of the card. You can call the numbers to find out where you can use it or where you can get discounts.”

The cards comes with different price

range, beginning from a thousand five hundred naira with the amounts written on the surface of the cards as the value of the card. “What we are doing at the moment is that the card itself cost a thousand two hundred and fifty for the non preloaded which means that you can just walk into any of our sales outlet and go into any Skye bank put whatever value you like on the card and then pass it on. Those one don’t have any amount written on them, we also have the preloaded, all you do is walk into any of our sale outlets and say I want a ten thousand naira card.” The process he said has been made so simple and easy as all you need to provide is your basic information; your name, contact details and a few basic question. He explains that the reason for this is “ that if the card is missing and you call in to block your card, there should be some information that are unique to you that you need to be able to answer for us, so that we can prove that this is actually the right person who owns this card.”

Asked the acceptability of the Cards in Nigeria, he said “So far so good we are doing very well to the best of what we have at the moment and we see a better and a bigger future. The world is going electronic, now you can sit in your house and order some thing online and you are not going to pay with cash if you are doing that. It is more interesting because we are a well traveled people, and when we go out we enjoy this convenience, it is been quite possible and very convenient; our cards have been used in Kaduna, Port Harcourt and we are just here in Lagos, people buy them they give it to someone and they call us to say thank you that is quite interesting.”
