I received a Beauty Strokes Gift
Certificate. How do I spend it?
Gift Certificates are redeemable for merchandise
or services offered by the Yourbeautystrokes.com. The shopping URL of
Yourbeautystrokes.com is indicated on the gift certificate. Once you
locate an item or service to purchase, enter or select the Redemption

Additional costs, such as shipping, insurance,
and taxes may be added to the total price so remember to consider this.
Any remaining costs beyond the value of the gift certificate must be paid
using a funding source such as a PayPal account balance or credit card.
Why do I have to use PayPal to
use a gift certificate?
To provide the best service and security for all our customers, PayPal
requires all gift certificate recipients without a PayPal account to
register in order to claim their gift certificate. Signing up with PayPal
is fast, free and secure
Can a gift certificate be emailed to
someone who doesn't have an email address?

send it to the recipient. The recipient must have a PayPal account or sign
up for a one to redeem a Brushstrokes Gift Certificate. Do not enter a
recipient email address if you are not sure which email address the
recipient has associated with a PayPal account.
Note: Your Beauty Strokes Gift Certificates are transferable if the
recipient's email address is not printed on the gift certificate.

What happens if I
lose my gift certificate or it is stolen?
If a gift certificate is lost or stolen, you may still redeem it by
logging in or signing up at https://www.paypal.com/ with the email address
the gift certificate was sent to. Once logged in, you can locate the gift
certificate in the Redemption Gift Certificates and Points section
of the Profile page.
Note: If a printed gift certificate is lost or stolen, you should
contact the sender and ask them cancel the gift certificate and resend it.
If it has been more than 60 days after the purchase, contact PayPal's
customer support by clicking Contact Us.
Can I give my
gift certificate to someone else?
Gift certificates that include an email address are non-transferable and
cannot be resold. Gift certificates which are self-printed and do not
specify an email address are transferable between individuals.
Gift certificates delivered by email can only be
redeemed by the owner of that email address.
Note: If part of a gift certificate is
used, the remaining balance stays with the redemption code in the
recipient's account, is non-transferable, and can only be used to apply
toward purchases with the merchant.
What if a gift certificate is
sent to an invalid email address or an email that the recipient can
not access?
If a recipient does not receive an emailed gift certificate, the purchaser
can cancel the certificate within 60 days from the date of purchase and
resend it.
How are recipients informed that
someone has sent them gift certificates?
When a gift certificate purchaser sends a gift certificate to a valid
email address that the recipient has access to, PayPal sends the recipient
the gift certificate by email with redemption instructions.
Can I use more than one
gift certificate to purchase a single item?
Yes. Whether you have one or five gift
certificate Redemption Codes in your PayPal account, you can use some or
all of them towards a single item purchase from the merchant. Unused
balances can be applied to other purchases.
However, PayPal does not currently allow multiple
gift certificates in various currencies to be redeemed for a one-time
purchase. Please read the Terms and Conditions section of PayPal gift
certificates.
Can I redeem a printed
gift certificate if my email address is incorrect or misspelled?
No, for security reasons, gift certificates with
a specified email address are not transferable and can only be redeemed by
the owner of the email address specified by the purchaser. As with a lost
or stolen gift certificate, simply ask the purchaser to cancel the gift
certificate within 60 days and have it reissued. The only difference in
this case is that the purchaser must make sure to verify your email
address before reissuing.
If there is no way to reach the purchaser of the
gift certificate, contact PayPal customer support by clicking the
Contact Us link on the PayPal website.
