I WENT TO A LISTED VENUE AND THEY SAID THEY DID NOT KNOW ABOUT THE CARD?
Sometimes a team member at a venue isn’t aware of the cards. We are sorry if you experience this. This card runs on eftpos so will work on their eftpos terminals, just let them know to try it and it will process like any other eftpos card. Gift card is still subject to individual merchant acceptance.
What if my TheFork Gift Card is not accepted for payment?
Sorry to hear that. Check out the following reasons your card may not be working:
- The balance you have nominated is not available. You can check your card balance here.
- Your gift card has expired. Gift cards have a 36 month expiry, which can be calculated 36 months from the date of issue, and/when you check your balance.
- The venue you have tried to use your gift card is outside the list of specificized venues
Should your card not work but it has funds, isn’t expired and you’re not trying to use it at venues outside the list then please contact us here or call 1300 375 346.

WHAT CAN I DO IF I EXPERIENCE ISSUES WITH A GIFT CARD PURCHASED SECOND HAND OR FROM AN UNCERTIFIED THIRD-PARTY SELLER?
Our gift cards are available for purchase from specific retail outlets. We cannot guarantee the validity of any gift card you purchase from any other outlet - including any auction website or discount website who is not listed as one of our retail outlets. Any gift card not purchased from a certified seller may be fake or counterfeit or associated with fraudulent activity. We will not be liable to you or any other person for any loss arising from any purchase of our gift cards from an outlet who is not listed as a participating seller.
I PLACED AN ORDER AND IT WAS DECLINED. WHAT DO I DO NOW?
We take security very seriously, and a major part of that is ensuring that orders are placed by the legitimate cardholder.
If your order is declined during the checkout process, it means we were unable to verify your purchase, and it was declined out of caution.
We recommend placing your order again completing all required details – such as phone number, email and billing address – that match the cardholder’s information. We will then re-assess your order.
