B&Q Decorating Cards

B&Q is the largest home improvement and garden centre retailer in Europe, with over 300 stores across the UK and Ireland.

What are B&Q Decorating Cards?

Decorating is an essential part of maintaining any property. But when you have many properties and tenants, finding the time and resources to complete that decorating isn’t always easy. That’s where B&Q Decorating Cards come in.

B&Q Decorating Cards are a quick, simple and effective way of providing tenants with a decorating allowance, giving them the freedom to improve their homes on their own terms. Operating like a normal gift card, these handy Decorating Cards are category-controlled, meaning they can only be used on decorating products.

The scheme is already used by just under 200 housing associations and councils in the UK today.

How it works

Using a sophisticated Gift Card Portal, the B&Q Decorating Card Scheme gives you the flexibility to order and manage both physical gift cards and e-gift cards through a secure website, accessible by multiple users.

Functionality includes:

• Instant activation or cancellation of gift cards and e-gift cards.
• Card balance checks.
• E-gift resend functionality.
• Scheme management and tracking reports that detail redemption activity.
• Electronic invoicing daily, weekly or monthly with a portal invoice management suite.
