GOOD NEWS (March 11 at 10pm): The Little City Gift Cards are once again useable at your favorite shops and restaurants! The vendor resolved the issue. Thank you for your patience.
ORIGINAL POST
GIFT CARD SYSTEM DOWN :: A network outage is causing issues with processing The Little City Gift Card. Yiftee, the vendor, issued this statement:
"As the City of Falls Church "Little City Gift Card" technology partner, Yiftee sends our sincere apologies for not being able to redeem cards at this time. For those of you with bonus cards that expire in March, the City has asked us to extend them to the end of the month so that you have time to redeem them and we are happy to do so.
"As for what is happening, we are a part of a very large network of credit card processors and while our systems are fine, another part of the chain is experiencing difficulties that prevent us from redeeming cards right now. This is unprecedented and not isolated to Yiftee. We are in touch with our card processing partners at the highest levels who assure us that they are working hard as we speak to resolve the situation and resume redeeming cards. We’ll update the City as soon as we have more information. If you would like us to proactively notify you by email when cards can be redeemed again, please email [email protected]."
