The Rain City Video Gift Certificate. It’s a really nice way of thanking your neighbor, paper carrier, mailman, or maybe that roommate or relative who ought to open their own video account. You get the idea. Gift Certs are redeemable in rentals only (can't use 'em to buy candy, etc.). You pick the number of rentals you want to buy, we fill in the blank on the certificate. Most customers use our prepaid electronic "punches" to buy rentals at reduced cost. You can also buy Gift Certs over the phone, using your credit card. We'll mail it anywhere you want. Because we know you care enough to give the very best.
