gift certificate

Prepaid shopping voucher

A gift certificate is a voucher purchased as a gift, redeemable for goods or services at a particular store or business.

The buyer pays a set amount, and the recipient spends it like cash at that establishment: I got a fifty-dollar gift certificate to the bookstore for my birthday.

Now largely replaced by plastic gift cards, though the terms overlap.
