Council photograph used as programme context, not evidence of voucher transactions. Photo: Ayuntamiento de San Vicente del Raspeig San Vicente del Raspeig has approved a EUR737,371 programme that will issue EUR150 digital voucher balances to eligible adult residents, creating a temporary local spending network funded by the municipality. The approval is dated September 30, with its official notice published on October 5\. [\[S01\]](#article-source-1) The scheme goes beyond a single-use discount coupon: each named recipient receives a purse balance that can be spent in parts across participating businesses. The [Ayuntamiento de San Vicente del Raspeig](https://giftcard.news/organization/ayuntamiento-de-san-vicente-del-raspeig/) pays for the voucher value, while shoppers must cover at least half of each purchase themselves. [\[S02\]](#article-source-2) ## A shared balance with limits on redemption The operating rules restrict acceptance to enrolled businesses in the municipality. Vouchers can cover up to 50% of a purchase, balances cannot be exchanged for cash, and vouchers belonging to different recipients cannot be combined in one transaction. The rules provide an eight-day spending period after download, subject to the campaign ending earlier. [\[S02\]](#article-source-2) The two limits share the same purchase-value denominator. A voucher may cover at most half of an eligible bill, leaving the shopper to finance at least the other half. These are the programme's checkout bounds, not average observed payment shares.

That separates the resident's spending balance from the merchant's later reimbursement claim: businesses must retain evidence of the sale before seeking payment from the council. [\[S02\]](#article-source-2) ## Small businesses form the acceptance network The council opened merchant enrolment from October 6 to October 8 for eligible local retail, service and hospitality businesses with fewer than ten workers. Its announcement also requires a permanent licensed establishment and compliance with tax and social-security obligations. [\[S03\]](#article-source-3) The [Diputación de Alicante](https://giftcard.news/organization/diputacion-de-alicante/) finances the programme's EUR737,371 allocation. The official notice reserves 10% of vouchers for people affected by the digital divide, with assisted applications available alongside the online channel. [\[S01\]](#article-source-1) Access to the local merchant network also depends on how residents obtain the balance. The official notice reserves 10% of vouchers for people affected by the digital divide; the remaining 90% is the arithmetic nonreserved share. This is an allocation rule, not a count of older recipients or evidence that 90% actually applied online.

Its capped contribution to each bill requires additional shopper spending, while partial redemption allows one balance to support several businesses. The documents establish the funding and redemption rules, rather than completed sales results. Consumer applications follow agreements with participating merchants; the council's official notice does not fix a universal opening date for shoppers. No redemption totals or measured impact on local turnover have yet been reported in these sources.
