Happy Cards FAQs

Choose “16-Digit Card”: If your Happy Card resembles a credit card – with a 16-digit card number, an expiration date, a CVV number, and a magnetic stripe on the back.

Choose “Card Number & PIN“: If your Happy Card has a card number and a PIN hidden under a protective coating or you received an eGift via email and indicates it must be redeemed at redeem.giftcards.com.

FAQs for Happy Cards with a 16-digit number, an expiration date, and a CVV number:

These Gift cards give you the freedom to eat, shop or play at any of the merchants whose logos appear on the front of the card. Simply present your gift card for food, merchandise or services at time of payment. The amount of every purchase you make will automatically be deducted from the value on the gift card. You are free to use the same gift card across multiple brands. Card can only be used in the United States.

If your purchase is larger than your balance, ask the cashier to swipe the gift card for the exact amount available on the card. Then pay the remaining balance with another form of payment. These are called “split transactions.” Some merchants do not allow cardholders to conduct split transactions. Some merchants will only allow you to do a split transaction if you pay the remaining amount in cash.

Online redemption may not be available for all merchants. If the merchant accepts our Happy Card as a form of payment on their website, please ensure the current balance of the Happy Card is enough for the entire purchase as most online merchants cannot accept the combination of a Happy Card and a Credit Card.
