Suggestions for a future raffle I'm holding

[SanjiX]

Good Morning, everyone! As the title states, my site Naruto411, will be holding yet another raffle this year. However, I'm trying to find some simpler prizes to give away this year that won't require me to ship it. Something like a online gift card.

However, I never tried sending a online gift card before, and I just want to know of a few sites that may or may not be good for online style giveaways AND if they would work anywhere like in Canada, Mexico, Europe, etc... so, for example, if an American would give someone in Europe a gift card, would it still work? You see, last year, we had a real hard time on accepting international entries in our raffles because of mainly shipping costs and whether or not the prize would actually arrive to the winner, so this year we are only shipping one physical prize (which will be revealed in the final week of the raffle).

The raffle will be starting next week, and it will be posted in both the Naruto411 Site/Forums and the CAG Contests & Free Stuff forum!!
(As for the proper place for posting this, I chose here because it seemed like this didn't fit anywhere else on the forums.)

Well, the best thing to do would be to look into the policies of whomever you're purchasing the gift card from.

I know Rightstuf and Jbox both offer email Gift cards, for example- but Rightstuf's policies for international customers would certainly be off-putting to anyone spending more than the gift card's value (which you'd basically have to in order to use the full amount.) Jbox, however, is pretty international friendly.

I have no idea if you'd even want to deal with said sites, those are just the first ones that came to mind for an example.

Holy crap, jbox would be pretty good for especially for all of the otakus lurking on my site... that will be good for Week 1. Do you know if Amazon does the same thing?

Most places offer giftcards for certain regions.. best advice would be to offer a list of places in various denominations, and let em pick maybe... also, find a better subject than that awful, terrible failure of an "anime".

Well, the good news is that you don't have get anything Naruto related with the cards. As for the Naruto anime in general, yeah, it was bad... in 2006.
