Digital gift cards are one of the fastest ways to give, or to top up your own accounts. Here's how they work.
What a digital gift code is
A digital gift card is a unique code tied to a set value on a platform such as a game store, an app store or a streaming service. There's no plastic card: you get the code by email or on screen right after you pay.
How to redeem one
- Copy the code exactly as shown.
- Sign in to the platform it's for (console store, app store or retailer account).
- Open the "Redeem code" or "Add gift card" section.
- Paste the code and confirm. The balance appears in your account.
Tips
- Check the card's region matches your account region before you buy.
- Redeem soon after buying and keep your receipt.
- Never share a code with anyone who contacts you asking for it: legitimate companies never ask you to pay with gift cards.
