digital gift card

Emailed store balance

A digital gift card is a prepaid store credit delivered electronically rather than as a physical card.

The recipient receives a code by email or text that can be redeemed online or sometimes in stores: I sent her a digital gift card for her birthday since I couldn't find anything she'd like.

Also called an e-gift card.
