Pluxee France began progressively replacing its Spirit of Cadeau card with Carte Pluxee Cadeaux from June 15, while retaining the existing merchant acceptance network. The change brings the gift-card product under the Pluxee name, with continuity for employers and recipients central to the company's published transition guidance. [S1] [S2]

The transition preserves expiry rules while the service changes identity

For people already holding a Spirit of Cadeau card, the new branding does not create a June 15 spending deadline. A separate Pluxee FAQ, dated June 16, says existing cards can continue to be used normally until their expiry, which it describes as 12 months after issue. [S3]

The new-card FAQ also specifies 12 months, counted from the date the CSE loads the card. Its wording differs from the issue-date rule for outstanding Spirit of Cadeau cards. Administrators should use the expiry shown for the particular card, rather than assume the June rebranding starts a fresh period. [S3] [S4]

That separates the confirmed continuity of acceptance from a planned expansion of the network. [S2]

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
