E-gift cards work just like regular gift cards. You can purchase them for a set amount of money and then use them to make purchases up to that amount. The main difference between e-gift cards and regular gift cards is that e-gift cards are delivered electronically, while regular gift cards are physical cards that you receive in the mail. E-gift cards are generally delivered via email, although some companies offer the option to deliver them via text message or social media. Once you receive your e-gift card, you’ll need to activate it before you can use it. After it’s activated, you can use it just like a regular gift card.
