What exactly does the recipient receive when I send an eGift Card?
An eGift Card is an electronic Gift Card that is sent via email.

The link in the email goes to a page showing the eGift Card you created (the design you selected, with your recipient's name and your personalized message), its value and code number. This page also gives simple instructions for redeeming the eGift Card, including printing instructions. Sometimes, special offers and promotions are listed on the page.
How do you prevent the eGift Card email from getting lost as spam?
We adhere to all industry best practices to ensure successful delivery of the eGift Card via email.

If the eGift Card goes un-viewed for 15 days after delivery, you will receive a message with options for resolving the issue.
