Features of Gyft

Digital Gift Cards Made Simple

Gyft turns gift card management into an easy, fully digital experience. On Android, you can buy, store, and share gift cards from a wide range of retailers. This removes the need for paper cards—whether you’re grabbing a last-minute gift or simply trying to organize gift card balances more neatly.

Store and Organize Gift Cards

You can add both newly purchased cards and existing physical gift cards to your digital wallet. Enter the details manually or scan the barcode to bring everything into one place. Once added, cards are easy to find, and balances are shown clearly—helping reduce the chance of losing or forgetting a card.

Buying and Sending Gift Cards

Gyft provides a simple way to purchase popular gift cards. Payment options include credit cards and select mobile payment services.

To send a gift card, the process is quick: choose the retailer, select an amount, and enter the recipient’s email address or phone number. Recipients receive the digital card almost immediately, which works well for both planned events and spontaneous gifting.

Redeeming Cards and Tracking Balances

Redeeming your stored gift cards is designed to be fast:

• In-store: show the barcode or card number so the cashier can scan it.
• Online: copy and paste the code at checkout.

For certain retailers, balances update automatically, making it easier to follow how much you’ve spent.

Highlights

• Wide selection of gift cards: Choose from hundreds of options across well-known brands such as Starbucks, Nordstrom, Sephora, and more.
• Video message feature: Record a video message and send it with your gift card for a more personal touch.
• Convenient redemption: Redeem directly from your phone in store for a quick, low-effort checkout.
• Re-gifting flexibility: You can re-gift gift cards you’ve received but don’t plan to use.
• Multiple payment options: Payments can be made using Bitcoin, PayPal, and major credit cards.
• Secure mobile gift card app: Marketed as one of the most secure ways to manage and store plastic gift cards.

User Reviews

One reviewer noted that Gyft isn’t only a gift card seller—it also acts like a virtual gift card wallet. They mentioned being able to store both e-gift cards and traditional paper cards in the app, then re-gift any stored gift cards they don’t want. They also liked that recipients can receive the gift via text message and/or email, and that shopping is faster because the app shows a barcode for in-store scanning. The reviewer also highlighted that Gyft records each transaction per gift card to keep balances accurate, and that it supports adding cards to Apple Wallet.

Another user said they love using Gyft to buy and manage gift cards, including for their kids’ gift cards on their phones. They mentioned that processing used to take “forever” (around 24 hours) early on, then improved to near-instant for a few months. However, they reported it later returned to slower delivery times, ranging from 10 minutes to 24 hours, and that this can make gift card codes unavailable during that delay.
