Before purchasing physical gift cards, carefully examine them for any signs of tampering. Look for scratched PIN areas, compromised packaging, or visible codes. Always report suspicious cards to store management immediately and select a different card.
Only buy gift cards from authorized retailers, official brand websites, or verified merchants. Exercise extreme caution with heavily discounted cards from unofficial channels, auction sites, or social media marketplaces.
Always retain your purchase receipts and original card packaging. These documents are essential for resolving issues, verifying purchase dates, obtaining customer support, and potentially recovering lost or stolen card balances.
When available, register your gift card through the issuer's website or app. Registration provides enhanced security features, helps protect your balance if the card is lost or stolen, and may offer additional benefits and purchase protection.
