Pluxee France began progressively replacing its Spirit of Cadeau card with Carte Pluxee Cadeaux from June 15, while retaining the existing merchant acceptance network.

For employers distributing rewards, continuity matters because a change of card identity can otherwise leave recipients uncertain about where to spend their balance. Pluxee's guidance addresses that immediate question
