FAQs
Can you use eGift cards in store?
Whether or not an email gift card can be used in store depends on the brand. Some gift cards can be used both in store and online, such as Target, Lowes and Apple. However, some eGift cards will be online only – for example, where the retailer is only available online. We recommend reading the Terms and Conditions to confirm.
How long does it take email gift cards to arrive?
Once you have purchased an eGift card and the order has been processed, the emailed gift certificates are usually delivered within minutes. Sometimes it may take slightly longer, up to 2-4 business hours from the time of purchase. If it is a gift purchase, you can also specify a future delivery date – a great option for birthdays or anniversaries.
Do eGift cards expire?
Email gift card expiration dates vary for each individual brand. Some are only valid for two years, while others expire due to inactivity. There are also those which do not have an expiration date, so make sure you are aware of the Terms and Conditions before purchasing.
