e-gift card

Emailed store credit

An e-gift card is a digital version of a gift card, delivered electronically rather than as a physical card.

The recipient typically receives a code by email or text message that can be redeemed online or in stores: I sent her an e-gift card for her birthday since I forgot to mail a present.
