FAQs
It couldn't be easier. Register for free with Hospital Gift, browse the site for the retailer of your choice and click the link to your chosen retailer. When you purchase anything from that retailer, while logged in to Hospital Gift, the transaction is tracked and cashback added to your account. The amount is ALWAYS split 50/50 between you and your nominated Hospital Trust.
Never. We take you directly to the retailer's website, where there is no difference in the price, quality or availability of their goods or services.
No. Shopping with Hospital Gift is totally free, and, as an added bonus to new customers, we credit your account with an instant £2.50. Plus, for every person you refer, you receive an additional £2 once that person has generated £15 in cashback themselves.
Cashback has no limits, so if you earn £1000 cashback, you get £1000 - split equally between you and your chosen Hospital Trust. To really make the most of the cashback incentives, check out our fantastic offers currently available now.
Once the cashback for a particular transaction has been approved and you have total cashback over £25 in your account, half of that money is sent to you, either direct to your account or via Amazon Gift Voucher; whichever you have chosen. The other half goes to your nominated Hospital Trust. You receive an extra 5% bonus with Amazon Gift vouchers (but the donation does not increase by that amount)..

We can’t say exactly how much will be raised. The more Hospital Gift is used, the more will be raised.
Gift are only able to pay out the cashback associated with validated transactions. Gift will issue payments to the appropriate Hospital Charitable Trust, for all accounts which reach the payment threshold of £25, on a monthly basis. Transactions will only show up in a customer’s account as validated after the retailer has paid the cashback to us. This can take between 30 and 120 days, depending on the retailer's returns period.
Gift will make all donations on the basis that they are to be used for Patient Care, but each Hospital Charitable Trust will be free to decide how, and where, to spend the money raised. Hospital Gift enhances existing fundraising efforts and generates extra revenue for new equipment, research, new clinical procedures (and improving existing ones) and generally improving facilities for patients, visitors and staff.
In order for you to use our website, you will need to register and set up an account. To do this you will need to let us have your name and email address and also provide us with a secure password to protect your account. If you choose to receive payment of any cashback you earn into your bank account, you will need to provide us with the relevant bank details. If you would like to earn money while you shop in store, you will need to register your debit or credit card number in your account. We do not ask for any further card details other than the card number as the card number simply acts as a unique identifier to identify your in store purchases. All personal information is stored and transferred using our multi-tiered encrypted security system which offers you online banking levels of security.
This will generate a negative commission that will reduce the amount of the donation made.
Absolutely not. The price of items you choose to purchase will be exactly the same if you go through the Hospital Gift Website as if you went straight to the retailer’s site. The same applies in store. The price you pay will not change – although it may be less, as you will be eligible to benefit from the offers that you will only be able to get through Gift!
You can only benefit one Hospital Charitable Trust at a time, but there is nothing to stop you having more than one Card, registering more than once and using the different Cards as you wish.
Yes - we take the security of your personal data very seriously and maintain a high level of security. We operate a multi-tier security approach to data storage and transfer. Our security measures follow industry best practice guidelines and are as secure as those for online banking.
