Need to purchase gift cards? You must use the Blackhawk Network or Tango catalog in BUY.IU when purchasing gift cards with IU funds. What’s the difference between these two catalogs?
Use the Blackhawk Network when you:
- Are pre-buying gift cards (physical or digital) to distribute to an individual who qualifies for one.
- Must buy physical gift cards.
- Want to download digital gift card codes in bulk and distribute them yourself.
Use Tango when you:
- Have a list of individuals who qualify to receive a digital gift card.
- Want to upload a list of recipients to Tango and email digital gift card codes directly to them.
- Want the recipient to be able to choose which retailer gift card(s) they want.
If your purchase doesn’t have any of the requirements list above, you can use either catalog. Both catalogs offer these options:
- Digital gift cards (method of delivery varies between suppliers as noted above).
- Prepaid VISA gift cards.
- Gift cards from specific retailers.
Before purchasing any gift cards be sure to review IU’s gift policy, as well as the prizes and awards policy, to make sure you purchase is compliant.
