Expiration and Balance Reminders
Pro+BatchCard Expiration and Balance Reminders recover revenue from forgotten gift cards: recipients get an email before a card expires or while a balance sits unspent, through Klaviyo or BatchCard email. Available on the Pro plan.

Your reminder email goes out 30 days before a card expires and again at 7 days, so recipients spend the balance instead of losing it. Add or change the windows to fit your store. Each card is reminded at most once per window, so a nudge never turns into spam.
Wake up sleeping balances
A recipient with $40 left on a card is a sale waiting to happen. Nudge anyone still holding a balance after a set number of days, with an optional minimum balance so small leftovers stay quiet.
How It Works
Turn on reminders in Settings
Enable expiration reminders, balance reminders, or both from the Reminders section in Settings. Reminders are off until you turn them on, so nothing sends without your say-so.
Set your windows and threshold
Choose the days before expiration for each reminder and, for balance reminders, how long to wait and the minimum balance worth emailing about.
Reminders send on their own
BatchCard checks daily and sends each due reminder through your connected Klaviyo account, or through BatchCard email when Klaviyo is not connected. No calendar entries, no manual sends.
Recipients act before the deadline
Each reminder links the recipient back to redeem the card, with an unsubscribe link so they can opt out.
Frequently Asked Questions
- Which plans include reminders?
- Expiration and balance reminders are included on Pro ($9.99/mo) and Business ($24.99/mo).
- How often will a recipient be reminded?
- At most once per card per reminder window, so recipients get a helpful nudge, not a drip campaign. Editing a window value never re-sends to a card that was already reminded for it.
- How are reminders delivered?
- Through your connected Klaviyo account, so reminders match the rest of your email. When Klaviyo is not connected, BatchCard sends them using a fixed template branded with your logo and accent color. Every reminder includes an unsubscribe link.
- What is the minimum balance setting?
- It keeps tiny leftovers from triggering emails. Balance reminders skip cards below an amount you choose, and you can set it to zero to remind on any remaining balance.
