    Hi

     

    Yes, gift cards can be added to the account of any member of the family group.

     

    Where a family member has gift or store credit, that will be used first to pay for part or all of their purchase. Any remainder will be charged to the family organiser's payment method.

     

    If the family organiser has a credit balance on their account, that is never used to pay for purchases made by family members. Their payment method is instead used for those purchases, so their credit remains their own.
