Is a GiftYa the same thing as a gift card?

A GiftYa is the next-generation gift card. A personalized gift that provides the recipient multiple ways to use their gift depending on the selected merchant.

We highly recommend the "Activate" method because it's scam-proof, fraudsters cannot steal your information, you’ll never lose the gift, and it eliminates criminal use. Simply pay with the Visa, Mastercard, or Amex that’s already in your pocket and we will immediately issue a credit.

We also offer other ways to use your gift such as an eGift, swapping for another merchant, or getting a Visa gift card mailed to you.
