Applicants will pay 50 euros (by credit card) for a voucher worth 100 euros. It will be necessary to bring identification (DNI, etc.) and vouchers are limited to one per person registered as resident in Xàbia who is of legal age. There is a possibility of buying a second voucher for another person so long as the respective signed authorization is provided, which can be downloaded from the website www.bonsconsum.xabia.es where the complete list of participating businesses can also be consulted.
Unlike the initial campaign, this new initiative provides vouchers in credit card format that be used in different businesses until the balance is exhausted; if the value of the purchase is greater than the available balance, the difference must be paid by the consumer. The councillor hopes that this new face-to-face purchase system will made it easier to be used by people of all ages whilst also highlighted the great response to this second campaign which has attracted the participation of more than 80 businesses.
