How do I shop in-store with Gift Cards?
1. Note your balance before you shop. To use your Gift Card along with another form of payment, make sure the cashier knows how much you want to apply to each payment type. Check first because not all merchants allow split payment transactions, and some transaction types require a hold of up to 20% above the purchase amount. See your Cardholder Agreement for more information.
2. Swipe your Card and select Credit on the keypad.
If Add to Wallet is an option on your card, you can add Visa, American Express and Mastercard physical Gift Cards and eGift Cards purchased from The Gift Card Shop to a digital wallet for in-store use. Follow these steps to add it:
1. Open the Wallet/App on your device.
2. Follow the on-screen instructions, including entering your card number manually or taking a picture of your plastic card.
Simply present brand Gift Cards for use at the time of purchase.
