The Complete Gift Card Solution

As your brand considers launching a gift card program, there are 6 key components that are required for any launch. Companies must decide whether to build in-house expertise in the following areas or to partner with third party providers for each. TDS Gift Cards provides or connects you to a solution for all 6:

Program Management
The TDS team consists of gift card industry veterans, working on behalf of our clients to ensure every element of a program is managed efficiently and effectively.

Processing
TDS simplifies data management by acting as the processor and the single source-of-truth globally for all cards/codes, significantly reducing the burden on client’s internal teams.

1st Party Distribution

3rd Party Distribution
TDS helps our clients reach over 4 million physical and digital retail locations across the world in over 40 countries. We have also aggregated all meaningful eCommerce and B2B distribution opportunities, giving our clients access to over 700 loyalty, rewards and incentives programs via a network of 75+ aggregators and individual programs.

Card Production
TDS offers clients (at no additional cost) a full-service print team to manage card production globally. Our dedicated print team and their approach allows us to produce cards closer to need, resulting in lower overall inventory, and cost to our clients.

Issuance
If your company will not be self issuing, TDS can coordinate issuer services through our existing partnerships. An issuer manages all gift card compliance requirements, hold all unredeemed funds in escrow, remit funds upon user redemption, manage and comply with all state escheatment reporting and remittance requirements on your behalf.

A Partnership with TDS

A partnership with TDS begins by working together to design a partnership that aligns with your short and long-term goals and objectives.

Next, our product team will provide insight and best practices for structuring a successful closed-loop gift card/code product.

Clients then complete the single integration into the TDS processing platform. Once complete, this single integration provides clients instant access to all meaningful gift card and code distribution opportunities globally, with no additional engineering work required.

Finally, the TDS program management team will work with you to develop a launch strategy by country that maximizes return and achieves scale quickly.
