Dittgavekort.no has long been a popular choice for gift cards that can be used at shopping malls and in stores across Norway. However, due to new regulatory requirements , sales have been temporarily paused . It is important to note that existing gift cards from Ditt Gavekort can still be used, but it is no longer possible to purchase new ones – either digitally or physically in the shopping malls.
What many are now wondering is:
The answer is yes – but it depends on your purpose. Here's an overview of what you should know.
When you give a gift card that can be used in many different stores, you are in practice giving what is called electronic money (e-money) . That is precisely why Ditt Gavekort has temporarily stopped selling it – to adapt to new regulatory requirements for this type of payment solution.
But the need for gift cards is not going away, and fortunately there are safe alternatives. In Norway, there are two operators in particular that offer gift cards in collaboration with licensed partners and that meet all the requirements for e-money : Glede and Paygoo .
What these two have in common is that their gift cards can be used anywhere Mastercard is accepted – in virtually all stores, both physical and online. This applies to Oslo , Bergen , Trondheim and Stavanger – or anywhere else in the country.
What many people wonder is: What is the difference between Glede and Paygoo – and which gift card is best for you?
Glede is a modern, digital gift card that in practice works in the same way as Your Gift Card – especially for you who are going to send it. The gift card can be ordered directly online and easily sent out via SMS or email, which makes it both fast and flexible to give as a gift. The recipient can use the gift card straight from their mobile phone, without the need for a physical card that can easily be forgotten or lost. The recipient can also choose to donate the gift card if they wish.
An important thing to note is that Glede is currently only offered to companies , and must therefore be ordered on behalf of a company – not as a private individual.
Paygoo is a prepaid Mastercard gift card – just like Glede – but with one significant difference: it is a physical card that must be purchased in-store. You can find it at selected retailers such as Narvesen, 7-Eleven and some kiosks.
The gift card can be used by both individuals and companies, but has a limit of NOK 1,500 per card . It is easy to use, and works in all stores that accept Mastercard – both in Norway and abroad.
Your Gift Card has been a popular and convenient solution for many , and it is completely understandable that the sales suspension creates uncertainty. Fortunately, this is only a temporary pause – and there is every reason to believe that they will soon be back with an updated and secure solution in line with new regulations.
In the meantime, there are good alternatives:
Briefly summarized:
🔹 If you want a physical card or send as a private individual – choose Paygoo
🔹 If you want a digital gift and are sending on behalf of a business – choose Glede
Give the gift card that can be used everywhere - in-store and online!
