# Gift cards

Hundreds of brands, delivered as an instant code the second you pay.

Want to spend on a specific store, or grab something to pass along as a present? Ask the ghost for a **gift card**. It pulls from your balance and delivers the **redemption code instantly** — through the same one-time private link as a card number, so the code never sits in your chat history.

## How it works

**Name the brand and amount**

Tell the ghost which store and how much. It confirms the brand, the amount, and the all-in cost (see [Pricing](/pricing)).

**Pay from your balance**

Same as any order — you say yes, it spends from your balance in USDC. No card on file, no bank.

**Reveal the code**

The moment payment clears, the ghost sends you a **one-time link** to view the redemption code and PIN. Open it once to grab the code, then it's gone — the ghost never prints the code in the thread. See [Card privacy](/cards/card-privacy).

## Hundreds of brands

Gift cards cover **hundreds of major retailers and brands** — big-box stores, marketplaces, food and coffee, games and entertainment, travel, and more. Just ask for the brand by name; if it's available, the ghost issues it.

Gift cards are digital and delivered as a code — there's nothing to ship and nothing to wait for. Availability and denominations vary by brand, and the ghost will tell you if a brand or amount isn't available.

## Giving one to someone else

A gift card's code is yours once you reveal it, so you can pass it along however you like — text it, write it in a card, whatever. The redemption code isn't tied to your name.

Want to put **shopping credit** on someone else's tab instead, so they pick their own thing? That's a different feature — see [Gifting credit](/sharing/gifting), where the recipient texts the ghost and spends up to the amount you set.

Gift cards are a clean way to spend crypto **off-grid**: pay from your balance, reveal the code once, done — no card number tied to your name. See [Card privacy](/cards/card-privacy).

## What it costs
