Buy Gift Vouchers Online
Again and again I have heard the suggestion of buying logos gift vouchers from a sales rep the key reasons given have been:
1. to help save money up for items on pre-pub., it can be used as a sort of prepayment plan so the money is there ready rather than having to fork out $1000 in one go.
2. Buying gift vouchers is an excellent idea and brilliant for those of us who live outside the US as it gives us the ability to lock in an exchange rate when it is good!
3. If friends or family don't know what to buy you for Christmas or a birthday or want to bless you at another time they could potentially buy you a gift voucher (not 100% if this can yet happen, but would be great if it could?!)
4. Similar to above, for pastors who receive a book allowance, this could be converted into logos gift vouchers.
The problem is the present setup of aquiring these gift vouchers. It would be fantastic if either I or a friend or family could simply click on a link on the logos homepage, type in the logos username of the person they wish to buy a gift voucher for, click on the amount of the gift and then pay using a credit card or paypal. The person receiving the gift voucher then receives an e-mail informing them of the gift and there is a tab alongside orders/prepub/etc on their account giving them information of any gift vouchers they have received.
I hope if there is enougth people who support me in this suggestion Logos Sales Staff may see the business advantage of bringing this in.

Please o please o please o please!
Then I can just send the link to everyone who asks, "what do you want for ____________"

Yes, that would really help saving for Logos books.
As a webmaster I could also collect money with a link on my website. Up until now I only asked for Monergism.com gift certificates - for purchasing printed books.
Perhaps, I can now collect Logos money, too :-)

Yes, this would solve many gift related problems around birthday and Christmas times.

As an overseas customer (Manchester, UK), I would heartily agree with this suggestion.
Also, a facility for an Amazon-style wishlist wouldn't go amiss so that I can more easily keep tabs on must buys and circulate to friends and family...
...just a tentative suggestion!

Hi, Thanks for this. Please also look at a very similar thread on the forum found here:

Just a thought! I wonder how often Logos monitor these forums. Are we just talking between ourselves, 'in the dark' - or is anyone with clout listening?

We really, really want gift vouchers, too. And customer service credits, and various other things. These things bring up some complicated ecommerce engine and accounting issues, though, which we're still working through It's all absolutely "on the list" -- and I want it more than anyone! -- but it'll probably be early next year before it's implemented.

Thanks Bob! That's really great news. Please try and keep in mind a fair system for all users including those over seas.
Ps. I knew you were listening really!

Once again thanks Bob, just knowing it's "on the list" should be enough to keep me settled on the matter for awhile. Perhaps two whole weeks! ;-)Bob Pritchett said:It's all absolutely "on the list" -- and I want it more than anyone! -- but it'll probably be early next year before it's implemented.

There now, you don't get much more clout than the president reading and responding do you?Stephen Thorp said:Just a thought! I wonder how often Logos monitor these forums. Are we just talking between ourselves, 'in the dark' - or is anyone with clout listening?

A related feature I'd really like to see would be an Amazon-style wishlist. I currently build my own via Favorites in my browser, but having one online would be much better. Beyond that, my wife just gave me some books for my birthday, but she wasn't very pleased that I ended up with the confirmation e-mails. So if the wishlist could be public (i.e., shared with e-mail addresses x and y), and then someone could buy something for you, and set a date when you get it without you knowing beforehand, that would be perfect. I do want to be able to drop a wishlist item into a shopping cart as well, though.

Can you rush it and make it before Christmas?

Sounds good enough to me :-) Looking forward to seeing it implemented

As we are now heading towards Easter I thought I might make a little prod and see if there has been any progress at the Logos end on this.
It would be fantastic to be able to receive a Logos gift voucher credit from a friend or relative instead of an easter egg!

I will also be excited for this option! ...as for the wishlist, you can already add logos items to wishlists at many other sites (like amazon). That wouldn't have the cool feature of an item being automatically activated on a certain date, but it does mean that your list can be accessible for others to use.
One idea for the meantime:
It would be nice if they could make a simple page with step-by-stp instructions on how to purchase gift vouchers via telephone. no new system, just instuctions for the current method.
Then, I could add the instructions page as an item on my Amazon wishlist! (adding the logos.com homepage, I think, would just confuse people.)

Can you provide an update on this workstream? Thanks in advance

Thanks Thomas. From their perspective it would probably an effective marketing tool too as I'm sure it will result in additional sales.

I like the wishlist idea too as well as the gift vouchers.

In the mean time, the wished for book(s) can be added to your Amazon wish list by installing and using Amazon's 'Add to Wish List' function to your browser.

I absolutely want this as a friend of mine is a Pastor and I would love to be able to buy some books for him.

I think the Wishlist and Gift Vouchers are both great ideas. I currently use the Amazon wishlist for things I'm saving up for but would love to see it in my Logos account instead. I would think that the Gift Vouchers would increase sales for Logos. I'm surprised that nothing has been done yet based on the age of this thread.

I am aware that I am replying to a five year old post, but has anything ever been done about Logos Book vouchers? My family like to get me vouchers for birthdays, Father's day, etc. I would love to be able to get vouchers to purchase from Logos, but so far my only option to buy theological books with vouchers is through Amazon Kindle. I would prefer going through Logos rather than Kindle.

As far as I can tell, the unhappy answer is no.
