Frequently Asked Questions The Phantom Gourmet Gift Card is a pre-paid gift card that is redeemable at select restaurants that are members of the Phantom Gourmet Gift Card network. In effect, funds have been loaded on it for the Card Holders use and can be used up to the amount of funds loaded on the card at any Phantom Gourmet Gift Card participating restaurant. The amount of funds loaded on the Card, and what remains available at any given time to be used by the Card Holder is referred to as "Available Funds". To use the Card at a participating restaurant, simply present the Card at the time of payment. As the Card Holder uses the Card, the available funds will be reduced by the full amount of each restaurant purchase. The Card may be used to pay the full amount of the meal and tax, excluding gratuity, so long as the Card's balance is sufficient. Gratuity must be paid for with some other form of acceptable payment. The Card can also be used to pay a portion of the total meal and the remaining balance with another form of payment accepted by the restaurant. What is the Phantom Gourmet Gift Card?
