While covering the Kroger deal on Happy Her and Happy Beauty gift cards earlier today, I noticed that the image of the gift cards looked different (I know, it’s sad that I know them well enough to notice a difference).
When checking through the list of all the different Happy gift card brands, I discovered that four of the cards have undergone changes at some point in recent weeks or months. I therefore thought it would be helpful to give you a heads up about the changes in case it affects your future purchases of these particular brands.
Happy Teen
A new brand has been added:
- Under Armour
One brand has been removed:
- Nike
Happy Her
This is the card that has undergone the most changes. Here are the new retailers:
- The Cheesecake Factory
- Macy’s
- Panera Bread
- Bed Bath & Beyond
- Sephora
- SpaFinder
These are the retailers that have been removed:
- Godiva
- P.F. Chang’s
Happy Dining
The new restaurants on the Happy Dining gift card are:
- Buffalo Wild Wings
- P.F. Chang’s
- Cracker Barrel
The restaurants that have been removed are:
- Bravo!
- Brio
- Texas de Brazil
Happy Beauty
This card hasn’t had any retailers removed, but it has added the following store:
- Ulta Beauty
Summary
Overall, these are positive changes as more participating stores and restaurants have been added than removed. It’s interesting that P.F. Chang’s was removed from Happy Her but added to Happy Dining, so there’s still a partnership there.
I’ll update our guide to Happy gift cards with all these changes too.
My Teen card has Panera Bread, Ulta Beauty, and Under Armour (no Nike) and a different Regal icon (matches the card on the ‘(EXPIRED) Giant Eagle: Save On Select Gift Cards Including Staples, Petco, Subway & More’ post picture) so it looks like several changes have happened already, I would have loved Nike over Under Armour.
