It doesn't have the info on their site, but in store you can buy a $100 gift card & you will get a $20 a single time use voucher (i.e., no change given in cash or left on the card). You can't use either during that visit & the $20 voucher must be used by Jan 31. Also, you can't use the card for the tip, you must pay that via cash or a credit card. I think if you buy a $50 gift card, you get a $5 voucher.
