Buying and sending e-gift cards

How do I use an e-gift card I've bought or received through UGO Wallet?

To use the card, just pull it up in the email you received or in your UGO Wallet and ask the merchant to scan the barcode. If you're making a purchase online, enter the card information.

What should I do if my e-gift card barcode won't scan in store?

Don't worry, you can still use any available balance on that e-gift card! Just ask the cashier to key in the card number and PIN (if there is one) manually.

I sent an e-gift card to my friend but they haven't received anything. What should I do?

Ask your friend to check for an email from UGO Wallet. It may be in a junk folder. If your friend is unable to find the email, double-check the email address you sent the e-gift card to. If the email address is correct but the email still cannot be found, please email UGO Customer Care at contactus@ugowallet.com and a UGO Pro will help you out.

Are there any limits associated with e-gift card purchases in UGO Wallet?

Per transaction limits may change based on the merchant and are indicated when you choose that merchant in UGO Wallet. Additional limits on the value or number of transactions may also apply.

To add cards to your UGO Wallet, hit the second button of the navigation bar at the bottom of the home screen. Follow the instructions from there!

Why am I getting a barcode error when I scan some of my cards?

We currently support the most common barcode format. What this means is if you try to scan a barcode using a different format, you'll receive an error. If this happens, try manually entering both the card name as well as the card number. We support as many barcode formats as we can and we're working to add new ones.

What is the Other category?

You'll see an Other card section in your UGO Wallet. You can add almost any card from your wallet to the Other category of UGO Wallet, if you'd like to be able to scan the digital barcode later or if you want to keep a digital copy as a backup for your convenience. Be careful not to add any government-issued ID (such as driver's licence, health card, passport, SIN card, etc.) and make sure the applicable store or organization will accept your digital version of the card.

Fundraising

How do I enter the code for my organization?

If you are new to UGO Wallet, you'll be able to enter the code when you register after you enter your name and email address. Look for the Fundraising Code field.

If you're already a UGO Wallet customer, go to My Profile (the icon in the bottom right-hand corner of the home screen), then Promos & Offers. Enter the code in the box at the top of the screen.

How can I make sure that my e-gift card purchases are resulting in a contribution to my organization?

If you're registered with a fundraising program, you'll see a confirmation banner at the top of your home screen. Open up your UGO Wallet to check for that banner! If you don't have it, try re-entering your code.

Are there any costs to participate, for an organization or its supporters?

You may want to check with your financial institution to see if they charge any transaction fees.
