Note: Each gift card purchase creates a unique six-digit gift card code. This code is all you need for instant redemption, and it may be presented in ANY form. Online gift card purchases generate a gift card code that you’ll receive electronically to the email associated with the purchase, and it should arrive in less than one day. This email is most often printed and serves as the gift, but the purchaser may opt to transfer the code to a more personal card they create themselves or even forward the emailed code on to the the recipient, as the code itself is all that is required for redemption.
