Top tips for hassle-free spending with the Biscuit app

Gift vouchers are a fantastic way to treat yourself, or your dog, but making the most of them requires a little savvy planning. The biscuit app makes it easy to earn and spend vouchers, but here’s how to ensure you never lose out on the fun! 

1. Always be prepared! 

Shops or restaurants can sometimes be unpredictable with internet connectivity. To avoid frustration, screenshot or print your voucher details before heading out. This ensures you’re prepared even if wi-fi or mobile data lets you down. Many gift vouchers can also be added to your phone wallet to keep them handy 

2. Understand voucher combinations 

Most gift vouchers can be used alongside discounts and sale items, giving you extra value for your Biscuits. This means you can snag an already reduced item and save even more! However, it’s always worth double-checking the small print in advance to ensure compatibility and maximise your rewards, for example you may not be able to use a discount code and a gift voucher at the same time. 

3. Watch the expiry date 

Vouchers aren’t cash — they have expiry dates. To avoid last-minute rushes or losing out completely, aim to use them sooner rather than later. Set reminders on your phone to stay on top of expiry deadlines and don’t forget. 

4. Use vouchers correctly and check the Terms & Conditions 

When shopping online, make sure you’re applying the voucher in the right section. For instance, platforms like Just Eat have distinct fields for gift vouchers versus discount codes – our vouchers are Gift Vouchers in this instance. A simple slip here can lead to unnecessary confusion.  

Some vouchers can’t be used on retailer partner sites, and some coffee vouchers can’t be used in franchises or service stations, only in main stores. A quick scan of the Terms & Conditions for each voucher will tell you of any exclusions, so you can plan your spending spree with peace of mind. 

5. Don’t hoard for too long 

While it’s tempting to save up for a big purchase, don’t wait indefinitely. Rewards evolve, and some retailers may change their partnership terms. Treat yourself to smaller wins regularly to enjoy the process while avoiding any disappointments. In the unlikely event that a retailer goes into administration you may lose any value you have tied up in gift vouchers as they may no longer be accepted. 

6. Keep an eye on new additions 

Biscuit’s partnerships keep growing, and new voucher options often appear in the app. Regularly check what’s available, so you don’t miss a retailer that’s perfect for your needs. Our gift vouchers cannot be refunded so check the whole store before you click to buy just in case something new has arrived that you would prefer. 

7. Plan around your routine 

If you earn vouchers through walking goals and other biscuit activities, sync them with your usual shopping habits. For example, use food delivery vouchers for special occasions, or treat your dog to a new toy ahead of a weekend. 

8. Our Gift vouchers can make the perfect present! 

You know how much you value your biscuit rewards, so if you are struggling for a present idea, why not share the love. Most gift vouchers can be sent in-app via WhatsApp or to an email address and make the perfect last-minute Christmas gift, or gift for any occasion. Hey why not send the voucher to yourself to print out and give it in a card.  

9. Get inspired by the community 

Biscuit’s community of users often share tips and tricks. Whether it’s discovering a hidden gem retailer or timing purchases for maximum impact, you’re part of a community that’s all about sharing the joy (and rewards) of being a dog owner. 

With these tips, you’ll be a biscuit voucher pro in no time — earning and enjoying rewards effortlessly. Go ahead, keep walking and treat yourself, your loved ones and your pup to something special today!
