ABSOLUTELY!

You can certainly apply the value of your gift cards or certificates towards any of the other packages that we have listed on our website.

Simply select the desired package and click “Add To Cart”. On the first step of checkout, click the circle that indicates “Pay with gift card/certificate” and enter your gift card number and pin into the field. Click “Apply” to save this information and then click “Continue”. The value of your card/certificate will be applied to your purchase. Once you have completed the order, you will be emailed a PDF certificate for the new experience you selected. Please ensure you present your NEW gift certificate to the experience provider, as your original card/certificate will no longer be valid.

Purchasing

Where can I buy LifeExperiences?
You can purchase LifeExperiences from our website. All web purchases will arrive in the form of a certificate, which will be emailed to you right away.
You can also purchase LifeExperiences gift cards at select grocery and drugs stores across Canada including Shoppers Drug Mart.

LifeExperiences gift cards and certifiicates are also offered by various loyalty and reward programs.

I have a LifeExperiences ($50, $100, $200) cash certificate/ gift card, how do I use it to make a purchase on your site?
Your LifeExperiences cash certificates are valid for online purchases on our website. Once you’ve selected the experience that you’d like to use your certificate towards, just click “Buy Now” and proceed through the check out process. On the first step of checkout, click to check the box where asked "Use a coupon or Life Experiences gift card", and a field will appear for you to enter input your gift card or certificate numbers and PINs (please leave coupon blank). After entering your certificate number and PIN in, please be sure to wait a moment for the system to deduct the value of your certificate from your total and click “save" before continuing. Should your total come out to more than the value of your certificate, you will be asked for your credit card information to be charged the balance. Once the order has been completed and submitted, we will transfer the value of your current certificate onto a new gift certificate that is specific to the new experience you have chosen, which will be emailed to you in PDF form. Please ensure you bring in your new gift certificate to the gift experience provider, as your old certificate will hold a balance of $0.

What payment methods do you accept?
We accept Visa and Mastercard payments on our website - in order to combat fraud, we also require our consumers to enter in their full billing address during the check out process. We also accept payment in the form of LifeExperiences Access Gift Cards.

Is my credit card information secure?
All information that is input into our website is processed through a secure server and is encrypted using SSL (secure server software) with HTTPS (Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure) communication.

Do I need to select a date for booking when making a purchase?
As our certificates are usually purchased and given as gifts, you do not need to select a date for booking when making a purchase from our website. Once you receive the certificate, you or the gift recipient will need to contact the Experience Provider directly in order to book.

Are there any restrictions on LifeExperiences?
Some of our adventure packages do have restrictions and limitations (i.e. age, weight, height limits) for safety reasons. Overnight packages may have black out dates in place. Any restrictions will be stated in the Terms & Conditions portion of the offer page.
