View GuidesIf your gift card is being declined online, first verify the balance, ensure you're entering the card details correctly (including security code), and check if the retailer accepts the card type you're using. Some online stores may require you to register the card first or may have restrictions on gift card usage for certain products.
If the balance on your gift card is less than expected, check recent transactions, verify if there are any inactivity fees applied (especially for bank-issued cards), and contact the issuer with your receipt to dispute any unauthorized charges. Keep records of all gift card purchases and usage for verification.
If your gift card is lost or stolen, contact the retailer or issuer immediately. If you've registered the card or have the receipt with card details, they may be able to freeze the card and issue a replacement. Unregistered cards without receipts are typically difficult to recover, so always keep documentation of your gift cards.
If you haven't received a digital gift card after purchase, check your spam/junk folder, verify the email address was entered correctly, and contact the retailer's customer service. Most retailers can resend the gift card email or provide the code via alternative methods if you can verify your purchase.
