GiftPay is an Australian digital gift card and e‑gift voucher platform operated by Unified Incentives, providing online rewards, incentives, and gift cards redeemable at multiple retailers.
GiftPay is an Australian digital gift card and e‑gift voucher platform operated by Unified Incentives, based in Sydney, NSW. The service allows businesses, organizations, and occasionally individuals to purchase digital gift cards that can be emailed to recipients and redeemed at a wide range of popular retailers, both online and in‑store. GiftPay is commonly used for staff rewards, customer promotions, research incentives, loyalty programs, and one‑off gifting, with vouchers typically denominated in Australian dollars and delivered instantly or on a scheduled date.
A GiftPay or "Unified Incentives" charge on your bank or card statement usually relates to the purchase of one or more digital gift cards or incentive vouchers processed through the GiftPay platform. This could come from a company you deal with (for example, an employer, survey/research company, or promotion/competition provider) that uses GiftPay to distribute rewards, or from a gift card you personally purchased on giftpay.com. Most charges are one‑time payments for specific voucher amounts (for example, round figures such as AUD $10, $20, $50, $100, etc.). In some cases, you might see multiple smaller charges if a business or administrator split a bulk purchase, or a temporary pending charge/authorization when your card was first validated.
If you’re unsure about a GiftPay charge, start by searching your email (including spam/junk) for "GiftPay" or "eGift" to locate any reward or voucher emails tied to the date and amount on your statement. Think about recent activities such as surveys you completed, promotions you entered, or workplace rewards you may have received, as these are common sources of GiftPay rewards. To resolve questions, visit giftpay.com and use their Help or Contact page to submit a support request with the date, exact amount, and the first/last 4 digits of the card used so they can trace the transaction. If the charge came via an employer or third‑party program, you may also need to contact that organization’s HR, rewards, or support team for account‑specific questions or changes.

Why did I get a charge from GiftPay or Unified Incentives on my card?
A charge from GiftPay or Unified Incentives usually means someone (you, your employer, or a company you deal with) purchased digital gift cards or incentive vouchers through the GiftPay platform. This can be for staff rewards, survey incentives, customer promotions, or a personal e‑gift you bought on giftpay.com. Check your email for any GiftPay e‑gift messages around the date of the charge, as the voucher is often sent separately by email.
What are typical GiftPay charge amounts I might see on my statement?
GiftPay transactions commonly appear as round figures in Australian dollars, such as AUD $10, $20, $25, $50, $100, or higher values for business rewards. Businesses may also process multiple vouchers in one order, so you might see a larger total that reflects several gift cards combined. Occasionally, you may see several smaller charges on the same day if your organization or program administrator chose to split a bulk purchase into separate transactions.
Does GiftPay use subscriptions or recurring billing?
GiftPay itself is generally used for one‑time purchases of digital gift cards and does not normally bill consumers on a monthly subscription basis. However, if you are part of a program (for example, a membership, rewards, or benefits scheme) that uses GiftPay to deliver regular incentives, the recurring payments would usually come from that organization, not from GiftPay directly. If you see regular, repeating charges, check with the company or program that rewards you, as they may be funding those incentives via GiftPay.
How can I confirm what my GiftPay charge was for?
First, search your email for "GiftPay", "eGift", or "Unified Incentives" around the date of the charge to find any gift card or reward emails. If you cannot find anything, visit giftpay.com and use the Help or Contact section to reach support; provide the transaction date, amount, currency, and the first and last 4 digits of your card so they can investigate. If the reward was issued by an employer, research company, or other organization, you may also want to contact them directly with the same details so they can confirm the reward they sent.
Can I cancel or reverse a GiftPay purchase after it has been processed?
Once a GiftPay e‑gift voucher has been issued and delivered, it is typically treated like a digital gift card and cannot be freely canceled or swapped for cash. If you believe the purchase was made in error, was duplicated, or you did not authorize it, contact GiftPay support through their website as soon as possible with full transaction details. For fraud or unauthorized use, also contact your bank or card issuer immediately so they can secure your account and advise on a dispute or chargeback if needed.
How do refunds or replacements work for GiftPay e‑gift cards?
Refunds on GiftPay vouchers are generally limited and depend on whether the voucher has been claimed or used, and on the policies of the organization that issued it. If there is a problem with a voucher code (for example, it does not work at the chosen retailer), contact GiftPay via their support/contact form with the voucher code and retailer details so they can investigate and, where appropriate, reissue or correct the card. If the voucher was provided by an employer or survey company, they may need to approve any refund or replacement according to their own program rules.
Why do I see a small or pending GiftPay charge that later disappears?
In some cases, your bank may show a small or pending authorization from GiftPay or Unified Incentives when your card is first verified. This is a temporary hold used by the payment processor to confirm that your card is valid, and it should automatically drop off or be adjusted to the final purchase amount within a few business days. If the pending amount remains longer than your bank’s standard timeframe, contact your bank first, then reach out to GiftPay support with the pending transaction details.
How can I contact GiftPay about a charge I don’t recognize?
Go to giftpay.com and look for the Help, Support, or Contact section, where you can submit an inquiry online. Include the exact transaction amount, date, currency, the name that appears on your card, and the first and last 4 digits of the card number so they can locate the payment. Avoid sending full card numbers or sensitive banking PINs, and if you suspect fraud, also notify your bank or card issuer immediately.
