Buying a gift card for someone abroad

Choose the card for the recipient's account, not the buyer's country. Confirm the recipient's store, country and desired purchase before choosing a denomination.

Your next steps

  1. Ask which store account the recipient actually uses.
  2. Match the code country and currency to that account.
  3. Send the code privately with its redemption instructions.

The details that make a difference

A card denominated in your own currency may be unusable for the recipient. Even where currency conversion exists, rely on the issuer's current rules rather than assuming it will happen.

Send the receipt separately and keep it until redemption succeeds. Avoid posting the code in shared group chats or public gift messages.

Before you continue

Choose the card for the recipient's account, not the buyer's country. Confirm the recipient's store, country and desired purchase before choosing a denomination.
