# Gifting credit

Send someone shopping credit they can spend with the ghost.

Want to treat someone without guessing what they'd like? Send them **gift credit**. They text SpendGhost like anyone else and spend it on whatever they want — you just set the amount.

## How it works

**Tell the ghost who and how much**

> *"send $50 of credit to (415) 555‑0142"*

The recipient gets a friendly heads‑up that they've got credit waiting.

**They shop like normal**

They text the ghost, find something, and check out — their gift credit covers it, up to the amount you sent.

**You're billed only when they buy**

Nothing leaves your balance until they actually order something. Unspent credit costs you nothing.

Gift credit doesn't expire, and whatever the recipient orders ships within the **US**, same as any SpendGhost order.

Gift credit is one‑time — set it and forget it. If you want an ongoing limit that refreshes (for a kid or a teammate), use a [sub‑account allowance](/sharing/sub-accounts) instead.

## Keeping track

You can see gift credit you've sent — and whether it's been used — in your [dashboard](/account/dashboard), or just ask the ghost.
