2. Expiry: All Prezzy Cards are issued with at least twenty-four months remaining before they expire. The expiry month and year is printed or displayed on the front of your physical Prezzy Card or provided to you via email for digital Prezzy Cards, and specifies the last month that your Prezzy Card may be used before the Prezzy Card expires. Any remaining value on the Prezzy Card is forfeited when the Prezzy Card expires.

3. Registration: There are 2 primary reasons to register your Prezzy Card:

(i) If your Prezzy Card is lost or stolen, you can be issued with a new replacement Prezzy Card, with the remaining value less replacement fees. If you have not registered your Prezzy Card, you will not be able to receive a replacement Prezzy Card; and
(ii) Unauthorized transactions can be disputed.

You can register your Prezzy Card at http://www.prezzycard.co.nz

4.Fees: Fees are deducted from the unused value of the Prezzy Card and will apply for using the customer service line, currency conversion, unsuccessful transaction disputes and/or re-delivery attempts if Prezzy Cards cannot be delivered to the designated address and Prezzy Card replacement.

This includes any situation where you could reasonably expect that charges could exceed the available balance, including common examples such as hotels, motels and car rental agencies, where the Prezzy Card details are held for any potential additional expenses that would be later charged to the Prezzy Card where applicable. To assist you with this, you should check the available value on the Prezzy Card regularly and check with the merchant what they can charge on the Prezzy Card, prior to authorizing the transaction.
