Sending Gift Cards as gifts
How to buy Gift Cards as gifts
- Pick your Gift Card and tap Send this as a gift. This can be any Gift Card available for purchase on ShopBack. Your friend does not need a ShopBack account to receive this gift. They’ll get it as a link that they can open in and use from a browser.
- Add your own flair! Personalise your gift by picking a design that suits the occasion.
- Fill in the recipient’s name and a note (optional, but who doesn’t love a special note?).
- Select how they’ll be receiving their gift:
- Through a web link you share with them - you can send this link to them any way you wish.
- Through an email to their email address - you can also schedule when to send this, up to 3 months in advance.
- Double-check the details. Before you pay, make sure all the information is correct. Tick the confirmation box when it all looks good and continue to pay.
- Swipe to pay. You can also use any available, confirmed Cashback to help pay for your Gift Card.
- Complete your payment and you’re done!

Things to note
Finding the link to send
If you need to find the gift link again, go to Account → Purchased Gift Cards. Look for the Gift Card you bought and tap Share Gift Link.
Topping up value after purchase
Unfortunately, it’s currently impossible to add more value to a Gift Card that’s already been sent as a gift. How about sending them another Gift Card instead?
