A Digital Gift Card is an electronic Gift Card sent via email.
On the delivery date you choose, a message is sent to the recipient informing them of your gift, with a link to retrieve it online. The link in the email goes to a page showing the Gift Card you created (the design you selected, with your recipient's name and your personalized message), its value, and code number.
This page also gives simple instructions for redeeming the Gift Card, including printing instructions. Sometimes, special offers and promotions are listed on the page.
