Simon to roll out enhanced Visa gift card

Indianapolis -- Mall owner Simon and payment solution-provider Blackhawk Network have teamed up to offer an enhanced Visa Simon Giftcard at select Simon malls, Premium Outlets and Mills, and online at Simongiftcard.com.



For the first time, the Simon Giftcard will also be made available outside Simon centers through Blackhawk's participating network of grocery stores and other third-party locations.



Giftcard features include no fees after purchase, no penalties or fees to replace if the card is lost or stolen and no expiration date. It is slated to debut in September.



"Blackhawk's product gives us access to more consumer demanded features and the new deal will allow consumers to have the added convenience of buying our newly branded Simon Giftcard at participating Blackhawk distribution locations nationwide," said Lindsey Schaefer, VP of gift cards and business insights for Simon.
