Always examine physical gift cards carefully before buying. Check for scratched PIN areas, torn packaging, or visible tampering. Look for any signs that the card may have been compromised. Report any suspicious cards to store management immediately.
Purchase gift cards only from authorized retailers, official brand websites, or well-established businesses. Avoid buying from auction sites, classified ads, or unknown third parties offering discounts that seem too good to be true.
Keep your purchase receipts, original packaging, and any activation confirmations. These documents are essential for resolving disputes, tracking purchases, and recovering funds if issues arise with your gift card.
Register your gift card online when this option is available. Registration adds a layer of security that can help recover your balance if the card is lost, stolen, or compromised by fraudsters.
