    You can use Marketing Lists, create one for 'Gift Voucher' and add the 50 contacts. You can do the same for your other lists.

    If thats not a good option, you can create some sort of N to N or Contact to Many - 'Event Storage' type table.  Create a record tying the Contact to that entity, one record for each 'list' they are a part of, then you can track it that way too.

    Problem is the multi select option set does not display very user friendly

    Hi r4vvm,

    You can create a MultiSelect Option Set field and set all flags as its options.

    Use this field to mark records.

    Hi r4vvm,

    I will create a Two Option field for the Contact entity and add it to the form. Then go to the Contact view, batch edit contact records, and select the new field as Yes.
