Reimbursement for Restaurants

The WRA Gift Certificate program brings new customers to member restaurants. An average of a half million dollars in gift certificates are sold each year!

Treat Certificates as Cash
Treat WRA Gift Certificates like cash.  Make change like you normally would for a cash transaction – you’ll be reimbursed for the full face value.

Redemption is Quick and Easy
Fill out your restaurant name and address on the certificate, then mail the completed original certificate to WRA.  WRA mails you a check for the FULL FACE VALUE of the certificate within 10 business days.  For your convenience, directions are printed right on the certificate.

Security Measures
WRA has implemented features to keep gift certificates secure.  While we have never received a complaint about counterfeit gift certificates, we are transitioning to a new (very similar) style to make our certificates even more secure.

During the transition, please accept BOTH the new and original versions of the certificates.

New Version

• Designed in black ink on ivory paper, featuring the WRA web address
• Printed on a single side
• Paper is light weight and has a watermark pattern
• Bears a heat-activated Safeguard Secure Seal – when you hold a finger on the seal, the heat from your finger lightens the images and proves authenticity
• Each certificate has a unique identification number

Original Version

• Designed in black ink on ivory paper
• Printed on both front and back
• Paper has a slight weight to it, like cover stock
• Certificate bears the WRA seal in 3-D relief
• Each certificate has a unique identification number

Keep Staff Informed
WRA members are automatically enrolled in the gift certificate program.  Don’t forget to tell your staff that your establishment accepts WRA Gift Certificates.
