Other FAQs

How do I access/view my gift card?

  1. You will receive a confirmation email with a link to your gift card in your FlipGive Gift Card Wallet.

  2. Click on the Wallet tab on your FlipGive Shop page


My gift card balance is $0, where are the rest of my funds?

As noted here, you need to update the balance of the gift card manually after each use in your FlipGive Gift Card Wallet. The balance is not updated automatically for regular gift cards. This means that you might have used the card at some point since its purchase, and simply forgot to update the balance. The most accurate way to check a card's balance is to directly contact the retailer via their website or customer support. Our system always verifies the balance on a card before it's sold so you will never be sold a card with a $0 balance.


I purchased a gift card but no longer want it. I'd like a refund.

Please be aware that gift cards are final sale and cannot be refunded or exchanged. This policy is in place because once a gift card is sold, the code and pin become exposed to the recipient, rendering it impossible for it to be resold.
