Getting Started
How to Save the Most Money
Buy Gift Cards Before You Dine
Before heading out to a restaurant, check if we carry their gift card. Buying a discounted gift card first means you're saving up to 40% before you even sit down. It takes 2 minutes and pays off every time.
Stack Savings with Promotions
Use a discounted gift card alongside the restaurant's own promotions, happy hour deals, or loyalty rewards. A 30% off gift card plus a buy-one-get-one deal is serious savings.
Buy Gift Cards as Gifts
Give someone a $100 gift card that only cost you $65. The recipient gets full face value, and you keep the difference. It's the smartest way to give meaningful gifts on a budget.
Stock Up for the Holidays Early
Don't wait until December. Buy discounted gift cards for Christmas, birthdays, and anniversaries ahead of time. Stock can be limited on popular brands like Disney — order early to guarantee availability.
Pro Tip: Disney Gift Cards Are Limited — Order Fast
Disney Gift Cards are one of our most popular items and stock moves quickly. If you see them available, don't wait. They can be used at Walt Disney World, Disneyland, Disney Cruise Line, Disney+, and shopDisney — making them the most versatile gift card we carry. Check availability now →
Smart Usage
How to Use Gift Cards Like a Pro
1
Always Check Your Balance Before You Go
Before heading to a restaurant or store, check your gift card balance online using the brand's official website. This avoids any awkward moments at checkout and lets you know exactly how much you have to spend.
2
Keep a Small Balance for Next Time
Instead of trying to spend a gift card down to zero, keep a small balance on it and buy another discounted card to top it back up. This way you're always spending discounted dollars.
3
Link Gift Cards to Loyalty Apps
Many brands like Potbelly, Peet's Coffee, and Yogurtland let you link gift cards to their loyalty apps. This means you earn points on top of already saving money with a discounted card — double the benefit.
4
Save Your Delivery Email
After receiving your gift card by email, save it to a dedicated folder or screenshot it. Having your card number and PIN handy means you're never scrambling at checkout.
5
Use Gift Cards for Online Orders Too
Most restaurant and retail gift cards work for online orders, delivery apps, and in-store. Check the brand's website for full redemption details so you can use your card wherever is most convenient.

Ordering
Ordering Tips & Best Practices
Order Early in the Day
While we deliver within 24 hours, orders placed earlier in the day are typically processed faster. If you need a gift card for a dinner tonight, order in the morning to be safe.
Check Your Spam Folder
Gift card delivery emails occasionally land in spam. If you don't see your card within a few hours, check your junk or spam folder before contacting support.

Popular brands like Disney sell out fast. Contact us at support@buydiscountcards.com to get notified when your favorite brand is back in stock.
