My gift card code is invalid, already redeemed, or never arrived

What to do when a gift card code errors out, shows as used, or the email never came.

First checks

Open Transactions and select the gift card order — the code, redemption link, and PIN (when the brand uses one) are shown there, and they're also in your confirmation email. Some brands deliver with a short delay while the partner confirms the order, so a "pending" code can be normal for a little while.

The code says invalid or already redeemed

Don't buy a replacement — contact support through the messenger with the order ID. We report the code to our gift-card provider for verification and share the outcome as soon as they respond; recovery usually takes a few business days because it runs through the provider's own checks.

The funds were deducted but I got no code

Same path: message support with the order ID. If the order failed on the provider's side, the amount is refunded to your reward balance.

The redemption link shows a blank page

Try an incognito window or a different browser or device — see "Fixing codes and redemption links that don't work" for the full steps.
