Egift Card FAQs
Electronic gift cards (also egift cards, virtual gift cards, digital gift cards) contain codes that are redeemable for a dollar amount at designated retailers.
You can add a gift card to any ecard — it will show up as a clickable link within your greeting. Plus, gift receivers won’t have to worry about losing a physical gift card or forgetting to bring it along on a shopping trip. If they have access to their phone or the internet, then they can enjoy your gift card!
When your recipient opens their ecard and clicks on the link, the egift card will be displayed. If shopping online, they will type out the egift card number and pin during the checkout process. The amount of the gift will be deducted from the total purchase.
You’ll receive a message that your egift card and virtual greeting card are on the way, plus a confirmation email. Your gift recipient will also receive an email letting them know that they’ve received a gift card and a virtual card or ecard from you, with links to pick up their gift and open their card.
They’ll receive instructions on how to use their egift card to shop online, save for later or use it in the store. They can even exchange their gift card for any of our retail partners!
If they decide to spend your egift card in the store, they’ll need to provide the bar code or egift card number and pin to the cashier. They could pull up the link on their phone, take a screen shot of the egift card ahead of time or print it from home before shopping!
You’ll have access to your order history in your account if you are a member of American Greetings.
For members, our gift service is completely free! You pay only for the amount on the egift card.
