How many gift cards can I Buy?
You must purchase at least two cards but you can purchase as many as you want. For purchases of 8 cards and more we have an additional offer. See below for special offers on quantities of 8 or more.
How do I get my rebate check?
All you need to do is to make sure you keep your mailing address current and we do the rest. We will mail you a check for 4% of your original gift card purchase every year for as long as our card program operates.
How can I use the gift card and then get my money back?
That's easy. You can redeem the gift card for lodging and food at the Inn. Or you can give the card as a great gift. When the card program ends you will receive a check for the entire amount of your gift card purchase.
How long before I get my money back?
When the program ends you will receive a check for the full amount of your purchase. The gift card program will not end prior to December 31, 2013 or later than December 31, 2018. When the program ends all lost or unredeemed cards are voided. As long as you have kept your mailing address current you will receive your full rebate.
Buying a gift card and then getting my money back sounds like a scam. Is this a scam?
Great question. This gift card program was created by the owners of a small bed and breakfast as a way to grow their business during a tough economy. All proceeds are used for business development and expansion. As a gift card purchaser, it,s like you are becoming a partner in the business. When the business is sold or transferred, a portion of the proceeds from that sale are used to rebate all the gift card purchases. The value of your gift card is guaranteed by the value of the business and its assets.

Example: You buy 4 gift cards at $125 each for holiday gifts. At the end of the year, you will receive a check for $20. Each year you will receive another check for $20. In this example its only $20 but you will continue to receive this end-of- year rebate for at least five years or until the end of the program. After the program ends you will receive back the original amount you paid. In this example, you purchased $500 in gift cards.
