Is my card code unique to me?

Yes. Every gift card is issued with a unique code that identifies it in the retailer’s system. This code is what allows the system to recognize the card’s balance and apply it during checkout.

Because each code is unique, whoever has access to it can spend the balance. That’s why merchants advise customers to treat gift cards like cash and never share the code publicly.

💡 Tip: Keep your code secure and only enter it on trusted retailer websites. If you write it down or store it digitally, make sure it’s somewhere private.
