Online Gifts Cards Offer a Flexible Gifting Option

Buying online gift cards lets you give the gift of flexibility. Choose from a wide range of physical and e-gift cards from CVS — they're available for a variety of retailers as well as Vanilla Visa, which can be used anywhere.

Do Gift Cards Expire?

Some gift cards may expire. Per federal law, a gift card must be good for at least 5 years. State laws might require a longer period.

How Do Gift Cards Work?

You purchase a gift card with cash. You can give that gift card to someone else or use it yourself. You can buy Visa gift cards, which can be used for any purchases, as long as the business accepts Visa. If you buy a retailer-specific gift card, it can only be used at that business. Gift cards work like cash for purchases.

Can I Exchange a Gift Card for Cash?

Many retailers don't offer returns on gift cards, but some do if you haven't used the gift card yet. Some states have laws that allow you to receive cash on a low-balance gift card. While the limit varies by state, it's usually $5 to $10. If you have a small balance left, you can receive the remaining balance as cash.

Another option is to sell your gift card for cash. You won't likely get the full value of the card, though. If you shop at CVS regularly, you can exchange unwanted gift cards for a CVS e-gift card to use for everyday purchases.

How Can I Check My Gift Card Balance?

You can often check your gift card balance online, depending on the retailer. Check your CVS gift card balance by entering the card number and access code. Other retailers offer similar services or phone numbers that you can call for an automated balance update. Check the back of the gift card or the email link to learn how to check the balance of a specific card.

Where Can I Buy Gift Cards Online?

CVS offers some of the best gift cards online. If you order physical gift cards, you receive them in the mail after ordering on the CVS website. This option allows you to tuck it into a greeting card for a special occasion. Digital gift cards arrive via email. For general shopping, choose CVS gift cards to use in CVS stores or Vanilla Visa cards that work anywhere Visa is accepted. If you know what the recipient likes, explore the selection of restaurant, store, service and entertainment gift cards.
