GIFT CARD FRAUD

How to Avoid and Report Fraudulent and Suspicious Gift Card Activity

• IHOP Gift Cards are available for purchase in-restaurant, on ihop.ca and at other various retailers.
• IHOP has many partners distributing digital and plastic gift cards.
• IHOP Gift cards are only applicable and eligible for purchases at IHOP restaurants locations. Other businesses do not accept payments in the form of IHOP Gift Cards.
• Do not purchase an IHOP Gift Card if the packaging appears to be manipulated, ripped or altered, or the PIN has been scratched off. If you notice anything suspicious about the packaging of an IHOP Gift Card, bring it up with the store management.
• Do not divulge your IHOP Gift Card number or PIN to anyone.
• IHOP Gift Cards can only be used at IHOP Restaurants and on ihop.ca.
• Legitimate businesses other than IHOP restaurants do not accept payments in the form of IHOP Gift Cards. For instance, you will never be asked to pay your utility bills, bail money, debt collection and hospital bills with IHOP Gift Cards.
• If you get a call from a stranger who says that a loved one is in trouble and they ask you to provide IHOP Gift Card numbers to help them, we recommend you hang up and contact your loved one directly.
• IHOP Gift Cards are not free. Be mindful on clicking and responding to ads and websites that offer free or discounted Gift Cards. These are scams.
