What does a Costa Gift Card look like

Bought a couple of gift cards, only just got them out of my bag - is the cardboard thing the actual card?

Usually they are a plastic card like any other gift card.

For what I can remember last year it was a plastic card. I was confused as it had registration details etc.
Ring them.

Panic over! I phoned to branch, and they said its a seasonal special. The cardboard cup is the actual card.

@DonaldTrumpsChopper That is good news, it never stops this time of year, unnecessary stress they should have mentioned it in store.

Hi I know this is an old thread but just wanted to say I just had this exact issue. Thank God again for MN for telling me what I needed to know. :)

They even gave me this saying it's not any sort of special card, just a normal one. I thought there would be a card inside the envelope.

Again, I know this is an old thread but I've bought some of these gift cards and got confused hence the search for more info.

Does nothing go into the envelope part, then? I don't understand them. (Doesn't take much from a frazzled mum in December!)

The cardboard cup is the gift card, it goes in the envelope. This thread helped me find this out a few months ago!

OK so take the cup bit off and put it into the envelope? 😂 that was the only part i still didn't understand. Thanks 🤪 🎅

Thank God for Mumsnet!

I have just had exactly this issue. It’s not recognising the number on the card when I try and check the balance though. Any ideas?
