Using your Indigo card

Common questions
Does the card expire?
Canadian provincial laws generally prohibit retailer gift cards from expiring. Confirm current terms on indigo.ca.
Can I use it for plum / Indigo membership perks?
Gift cards and the plum / Indigo membership program work alongside each other — you can typically apply membership rewards and a gift card to the same purchase.
What about ebooks?
Indigo gift cards generally work for digital purchases on indigo.ca, including ebooks. Confirm at checkout, as ebook fulfillment is sometimes handled through partner systems with their own rules.
