How it works

Gifting your city’s best restaurants, cafes and bars has never been easier.

Purchase

Choose between a physical gift card or eGift Card and select your preferred value ($50 or $100). 

Gift

Physical gift cards will be sent straight to your recipient’s nominated address – or to your address first, if you’d like to include a handwritten note. eGift cards will be sent directly to the recipient’s inbox.

Dine Out

Your recipient will need to activate their card at home, and can then use the card at almost any restaurant, cafe or bar around the country.

Taken Care Of

All they’ll need to do is present their Broadsheet Gift Card at the end of their meal to have the nominated value deducted from the final bill.

I placed an order and it was declined. What do I do now?

We take security very seriously, and a major part of that is ensuring that orders are placed by the legitimate cardholder.

If your order is declined during the checkout process, it means we were unable to verify your purchase.

We recommend placing your
order again, completing all required details to match the cardholder’s information. We will then reassess your order.

What happens if I changed my mind or have made a duplicate order?

Please ensure to check your order prior to submitting it. Exchanges or refunds will not be issued for change of mind or duplication of an order. For more information, please refer to the full terms and conditions on our website.

I went to a venue that wasn’t aware of the Broadsheet Gift Card.

Team members at venues may not be aware of the card. This card runs on Eftpos (physical) and Mastercard (digital) and will work on all registered card terminals, so proceed to use the card as any other Eftpos/Mastercard.

• The balance you have nominated is not available. You can check your card balance on the Check Card Balance section of our website.
• Your gift card has expired. Gift cards have a 36-month expiry, which can be calculated 36 months from the date of issue, and/when you check your balance.
