Give The Gift Of Summit With New Visa Card

SUMMIT, NJ - A new gift card for the holiday season provides shoppers with a new way to support local Summit businesses while giving a gift to that special someone. Summit Downtown, Inc. (SDI) has launched the Summit Gift Card, a VISA gift card that can be used only at Summit businesses in and outside of the downtown.

Summit Downtown’s Board of Trustees, which includes Summit Mayor Nora Radest and Common Council members Steve Bowman and Beth Little, said they wanted to incentivize people to shop Summit first and agreed that even though SDI manages the downtown district, SDI would manage the gift card to include all Summit businesses throughout the city.

The Summit Gift Card will be accepted at participating businesses throughout the city of Summit and can be purchased Monday-Friday, 10 a.m. through 4 p.m. at the SDI office, 18 Bank St., Suite 108; or online at www.summitdowntown.org.

SDI is also making plans to sell the Summit Gift Card at its events and at the Farmers Market. At Lyric Park on Beechwood Road during the annual Trick-or-Treat celebration on Halloween downtown, SDI will be selling Summit Gift Cards. SDI is still actively adding businesses to the program, and right now there are over 100 businesses who are set up to accept the Summit Gift Card; participating businesses are listed on the website and can also be identified by a sticker in the businesses’ storefronts.

Any Summit business interested in accepting the Summit Gift Card should call the SDI office (908-277-6100) for more information and to be added.

In accordance with New Jersey law, the funds on Summit Gift Cards will never expire or be charged fees for inactivity. Even though this is a VISA card, it cannot be used at any business not on the participating list and not in Summit.

The Summit Gift Card is designed to make a great gift for anyone who lives, works or visits Summit. So, when you can’t figure out what to buy your kids’ teacher, your parents, friends, coworkers, the Summit Gift Card is your answer. Remember them for the upcoming holidays.
