Frequently asked questions

How is Bookily different to regular National Book Tokens gift cards?

A Bookily card is automatically topped-up every month with the chosen amount, so the recipient can enjoy the fun of choosing a new book every month.

What happens if the recipient doesn’t spend the money on the card straight away?

Any unspent funds will remain on the card for them to use at a later date. Their Bookily card will not expire until 8 years from the last time it was used, which includes top-up, spending and balance checks.

How does the recipient use their online account?

To log in to their online account they use their Bookily card number and pin (no personal details are required). This will give them access to download a digital card, receive their monthly book recommendations and send you messages.

What happens if the recipient loses their card?

If they lose their card just get in touch with our customer services team</a ></strong > and they can send them out a replacement. Any funds they had remaining on their previous card will automatically be transferred over to the new card as well as all future top-ups.
