You might be wondering

In Australia, it’s free to organise a Group Card and gift collection if you spend the money in our Gift Store. Most people choose to give the AnyCard and let the recipient choose from 70+ eGift Cards from leading Aussie retailers.
 

Contributors pay a minimal payment processing fee:

  • 1.5% + $0.10 for MasterCard/Visa & Amex
  • 2.3% + $0.30 for PayPal

 
Want to withdraw the funds you’ve collected?
There’s a flat 2% fee (available in Australia only).

 
Just need a Group Card?
It’s $5.50 AUD. See what’s included here. 

Sure! We’re about helping you do good things. If that’s a beautiful card with messages, then great. During the setup process, you'll be asked what we can help you with, please select a card only.

An AnyCard is GroupTogether's way of making wonderful gift-giving even easier. Why sweat what the perfect gift might be when you can let the recipient choose the perfect gift for themselves? Genius!

The AnyCard is a credit with GroupTogether that can be swapped by the recipient for any retailer eGift card that they would like best (over 70+ to choose from). That way you leave the decision to them without having to ask. They have 3 years to swap it and then the retailer eGift card is good for 3 more years and they don’t have to spend it all in one go.

If you choose the AnyCard we will add back the fees so you can use the total amount collected, and once purchased, we will immediately send you a gift email that you can print & give or forward onto the recipient.

Note: This information is just for you as the organiser — the person who set up the collection. If you’re the recipient of a gift, this won’t apply to you.


We know it can be a bit confusing the first time — here’s a quick overview to help you spend or transfer the funds you've collected.

To get started:

  1. Log in at grouptogether.com
  2. Go to My Collections and find yours (if it’s over, check the PAST tab).
  3. Click into your collection and you’ll land on the Track page.
  4. Hit the SPEND button — this takes you to our gift shop, which works just like a regular online store.

From there:

  • Browse or use the top menu to choose how you'd like to spend the funds.
  • Select a gift, fill in the details, and click ADD TO BAG.
  • When you’re ready, go to your shopping bag and click CHECKOUT.

Delivery details:

  • If you choose an AnyCard, it’s emailed out immediately. (Check spam just in case!)
  • If you choose a gift card, most are sent straight away. A few may take longer — check the delivery info under each card before buying.
  • If you choose to transfer the funds (AU only), allow 2 business days for it to arrive in your bank account. Since it’s a transfer, we don’t email a gift to the recipient — instead, use the Share or Download button to send them the group card.

Let us know if you get stuck — we’re here to help.

Managers and coaches are almost one and the same thing, although managers are often responsible for multiple teams, ordering team uniforms, team fees and other important administrative things, and if a team wins, they’re often unsung heroes about it.

We think giving the team manager a gift is a great idea. Thank them for all the behind the scenes work they do.

If there’s many people helping out, why not look for a GroupTogether gift option? That way you can split the thank you amongst many people.
