TIPS

For Your Security, We Send a Link — Not a Gift Card Code

Traditional digital gift cards may send the actual gift card number or redemption code through email or text. PlusGiftCard works differently. We send the recipient a secure link to the gift—not the underlying gift card code. This helps protect the gift card information from being exposed, copied, or used by someone else

Your Gift Has Arrived. Here's What Happens Next.

Accept Gift

Receiving a PlusGiftCard is simple and secure. Instead of receiving an exposed gift card number or code through email or text, you receive a secure PlusGiftCard link to access your gift.

Click the secure PlusGiftCard link you received by email or text, or access the link provided with your printed gift.

02

See Who It's From

View who sent the gift, their personal message, the gift amount, and other details.

03

Create Your Free Account

To accept your gift, you must create a free PlusGiftCard account and verify your email address and mobile number.

TIPS

Why Is an Account Required?

Your account helps protect your gift and gives you one secure place to manage it. It also allows PlusGiftCard to track and update your remaining gift card balance in real time as you use it. Your gift is delivered through a secure link, and account verification is required before the gift can be accepted.

Redeem Gift Card

Generate Your Code When You're Ready to Buy.

Redeem Gift Card

Traditional gift cards typically give you a gift card number or code in advance—something you have to store, protect, and keep track of. PlusGiftCard works differently. We generate a single-use redemption code in real time when you're ready to check out.

01

Go to PlusGiftCard.com

Sign in to your PlusGiftCard account and go to the Redeem Gift Card page.

02

Choose the Merchant

Select the merchant where you're making your purchase.

03

Enter Your Checkout Amount

Enter the exact amount needed to complete your purchase, including applicable taxes, shipping, or other charges.

04

Generate Your Single-Use Code

PlusGiftCard generates a single-use redemption code for that amount in real time.

05

Complete Your Purchase

Use the generated code to complete your purchase online or in-store, as applicable.

06

Track What's Left

Only the amount you redeem is used. Your remaining gift card balance stays in your PlusGiftCard account and is updated in real time.

TIPS

Why Generate the Code at Checkout?

Instead of giving you a gift card code in advance, PlusGiftCard generates it only when you're ready to use it. No gift card code to store or keep track of. Single-use code generated at checkout. Redeem only the amount you need. Remaining balance tracked in real time. Less exposure of your gift card information.
