Giftcards.com sells gift cards for other brands. A buyer picks a retailer, a restaurant, or another business, chooses an amount, and sends a digital card or orders a plastic one. The card is spent at that brand, not at Giftcards.com.
A digital card arrives by email or in the account, and the brand’s own rules decide where it can be used, whether it expires, and whether a leftover balance remains. A plastic card is a mailed object and takes longer. Some cards are for one store. Others are for a network of stores. That scope is written on the card’s page.
The amount chosen is the amount loaded, separate from any fee the page discloses. The recipient redeems it with the brand named on the card, so the brand’s store or website is where the balance is checked.
