EAST LANSING, Mich. — In an effort to support local businesses during the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, the East Lansing Downtown Management Board (DMB) has launched an eGift Card Program for downtown East Lansing businesses.
The Downtown East Lansing eGift Card Program provides community members with a fun, easy way to give the gift of shopping and dining local this holiday season. To date, 23 downtown East Lansing restaurants, retailers and service providers have enrolled in this program and will be accepting the gift cards. And, to kick off the program, early purchasers will receive bonus gift cards at specific purchasing levels thanks to a $3,000 allocation from the DMB. How it works:
- Purchase a $25 gift card or more, receive an additional $10 gift card.
- Purchase a $50 gift card or more, receive an additional $20 gift card.
- Purchase a $100 gift card or more, receive an additional $40 gift card.
This special promotion will be offered while supplies last and purchasers are limited to buying five gift cards to receive this promotion. The bonus gift cards will not immediately show up in a purchaser’s cart, but they will be emailed within 24 hours of the purchase.
