</script></div><p>I need to compare GAAP&#8217;s and IFRS way of dealing with gift cards, rebate, and loyalty programs. The main idea is that a store is giving out gift cards for customers who spend a certain amount. The first would be a gift card and how it will be accounted for in accounting. The second would be rebate, which i know is one of the wrong ways but, I&#8217;m required to list all possible ways on how to deal with such situations. The rebate is practically just a way of how a company gives a discount when the revenue is recognized. The third and recommended way would be to treat it as a loyalty program where customers are rewarded if certain conditions are satisfied.<br />
Right now i&#8217;m only focused on finding out IFRS&#8217; way of how do deal with all 3. There are no right or wrong answers but only ideas as to how it will be dealt.<br />
If it is too much work then please list only what you know and if possible just cite some credible sources as to where you found it. A reliable source would be from FASB.<br />
Thank you in advance.</p>

<p>  The title of this book can be a little misleading because ostensibly this is just a book about how to deal with complaints. And while complaints are talked about on just about every single page, this book is really about a much more important and broader topic: delivering great service. Everyone knows that great service is important, yet very few companies deliver it well. Why is that? The concept of great service is a simple enough concept, but in practice it&#8217;s actually a very  <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Complaint-Gift-Recovering-Customer-Loyalty/dp/B001E96JAG/ref=sr_1_15/192-9482753-3284803?ie=UTF8&#038;s=books&#038;qid=1257342378&#038;sr=8-15?ie=UTF8&#038;tag=loyalmarkesuc-20" title="More at Amazon">(more&#8230;)</a></p>

This new edition has been thoroughly revised and updated. There are two brand new chapters on the Internet, a new section entitled Handling Complaints Directed at You and another new section that turns &#8230; <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Complaint-Gift-Recovering-Customer-Loyalty/dp/1576755827%3FSubscriptionId%3DAKIAIQOJDMF22WYFTZZA%26tag%3Dloyalmarkesuc-20%26linkCode%3Dxm2%26camp%3D2025%26creative%3D165953%26creativeASIN%3D1576755827" rel="nofollow">More &gt;&gt;</a></p>
