All gift cards are first covered by our Business Expenditure policy - http://wwwp.oakland.edu/policies/business-and-finance/207/
For employees: *15. Awards and Gift Recognition:* Executive Officers may recognize Employees and students with a token of appreciation for extraordinary work with non-cash awards, prizes or gifts valued under $75 (e.g., OU sweatshirt). Cash, gift cards and gift certificates to employees are not allowed. Monetary awards for student academic achievement may be allowable and must be reported to the Financial Aid Office. ___ The university P-card policy prohibits purchase of *Gift Cards or Gift Certificates *with P-cards. The only payments to research participants have been authorized through Amazon MTurk. Any payment for research subjects requires approval from Research, IRB, and our Legal Affairs office, and the Research manual just states that those areas must review and approve.
