flyinghonu 0 #1 November 18, 2004 After reading several post about Skyride, I obviously am not too eager to use them. I'm interested in getting a tandem gift certificate for my father's birthday. Here's the deal, he lives in Nor Cal, I live in So Cal. I'd like to find a gift certificate that might be honored at either area DZs. Know of anything like this that is legite?

PhreeZone 20 #2 November 18, 2004 Yep... Cash Each DZ typically handels their own gift certificates. Some DZ's don't have gift certificates, others place restrictions on them like a year time limit, others will let you use them at any time.Yesterday is history And tomorrow is a mystery Parachutemanuals.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tdog 0 #3 November 18, 2004 Our company just gave away a gift certificate at a trade show as a grand prize... Orbitz, Price Line, Expida... No one could agree. So I went to the bank and got a MasterCard preloaded with $1,800.... The recipient was able to use it however they wish... But, since some DZs charge more for credit cards - it will cost ya... But it is our new favorite gift cert to give from our company because it does not lock you into a merchant. Just FYI... How about an IOU - so you pay at time of jump, and you can jump with him?

Nutz 0 #6 November 19, 2004 We have gift certificates at our dz, they are nice, suitable for giving. (go figure) Call the dz in question and ask. "Don't! Get! Eliminated!" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Its actually very cute IMO making your own certificate, going with and paying at the time is the best way to do it anyway! I sell gift certificates because people want them, but personally would just prefer that they paid at the time of the jump/training. The only thing that I really do like about selling gift certificates form the merchant’s point of view is that a percentage of them never come back! It’s like “free money”!Experience is what you get when you thought you were going to get something else. AC DZ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
