Zalando Gift Card: How to Use It
After showing you how to create a gift card, it is also mandatory to explain how to use it. A gift card, in fact, consists of a code of 16 random characters , which must be redeemed during the purchase phase in order to use the credit. Once used, if there is any residual credit left, you can continue to use it for future purchases, until you have used it up.
From the date of purchase, you will have a maximum of 5 years to spend all the credit on the voucher, after which it will expire and can no longer be used. There is also a limit on the amount that can be spent, which cannot exceed 5,000 euros per month . More information here .
