Gift Cards Terms and Conditions
Foyles Gift Cards can be used as full or part payment for merchandise sold in Foyles stores (but sorry, not yet online).

No change or refunds will be given where the sales transaction is for an amount less than the balance on the card, but the balance may be retained on the card and applied to future purchases.

The card may be used for payment of goods of a higher price than the current card balance on payment of the difference. Where goods are subsequently exchanged for items of lesser value, the difference will be added to the balance of the card. A card cannot be used to purchase Theatre Tokens, additional gift cards or National Book Tokens.

The minimum amount required to activate or top-up a card is £1.

If the card is not used for a period of 24 consecutive months the card will automatically expire and any remaining balance will be deducted. To check your balance either ask in-store or call us on 020 7437 5660 menu option 4.

Foyles cannot be held liable for lost, stolen or damaged cards or any credit amounts on such cards.

Foyles reserves the right to add to or amend these terms and conditions.
