It is not required to connect your personal card to your GiftYa. We offer other ways to use your gift such as an eGift, Zelle transfers, swapping for another merchant, or getting a Visa gift card mailed to you. **Redemption methods vary by merchant.
We highly recommend the "Activate" method because it's scam-proof, fraudsters cannot steal your information, you’ll never lose the gift, and it eliminates criminal use. Simply pay with the Visa, Mastercard, or Amex that’s already in your pocket and we will immediately issue a credit for your purchase.
