Receiving a Pot
Congratulations!
If a Pot has been setup to send directly to your recipient we'll send it over with details on how to spend it and view the messages as soon as the Pot closes. This will be the first time they'll hear from us. Nobody likes to ruin the surprise!

Together with your headline message, the recipient will see all the messages left on the wall.

The options are endless. Mix and match between gift vouchers, or transfer the collection to a bank account.
Say Thanks
With one click, write and send a "thank you" message back to all the contributors. Alternatively, why not send a video message instead!

Our top asked questions
How do I access my purchased gift cards?
To access a gift card you have purchased, log in and navigate to your ‘Wallet’ in the dashboard. Your ‘Wallet’ will contain both your purchased gift cards and your contribution history.
Can I withdraw a Pot to my bank account?
Pots in the United Kingdom can be instantly transferred to almost all bank accounts, free of charge. Unfortunately, we currently cannot accept Chase and Citi Bank cards or any corporate debit cards for instant transfer.
Funds usually reach your account in seconds, with the exception of users who bank with Santander, The Co-Operative and Curve Cards where funds typically arrive the next working day.
Can I amend who the Pot goes to?
Certainly. You’re allowed to change the recipient of the Pot at any time. This includes switching a Pot from being a ‘Send to Someone Else’ Pot to a ‘Send to Me’ Pot.
Does it matter what country I set the Pot up in?
When creating a Pot, you must be a resident of the United Kingdom or an EEA Country. Sadly, we can’t create Pots for residents of The Channel Islands or the Isle of Man. Please note that Pots are only redeemable in the currency you selected when setting them up.
What is a Gift Card Only Pot?
A Gift Card Only Pot can only be redeemed to a selection of gift cards. These Pots do not incur transaction processing fees meaning it is totally free to add to the Pot. Please note that it is currently not possible to change these Pots to make them redeemable via bank transfer.
