Issuing a Credit as a gift
I'm having people ask about adding money to someone's account as a gift. This particular scenario is for someone who is on an EFT membership and the purchaser wants to add $100 to the account as a credit that will then be applied to the membership dues. Is there an easy way to do this?

Lots of gyms create gift cards that are just someone's membership number. It's a very slick idea.
So you'd sell a gift card with the same # as someone's member card #. Then to use the credit, the staff just redeem the gift card by scanning the members barcode.
If you don't have member barcode numbers, you could use the member's phone # or similar.
Works great!
How would that work to leave a credit on their account though? Redeeming a gift card requires a purchase and the amount redeemed never exceeds the transaction cost.
No, credits shouldn't really be used like this. The gift card system works well.
