You can buy a gift card with your debit card either in person at a retail store or online. Debit cards are treated similarly to credit cards for most gift card purchases.
How to Buy a Gift Card With Your Debit Card
- In-store: Most major retailers sell gift cards near the checkout area. Choose the gift card you want and pay with your debit card at checkout.
- Online: Many websites let you buy gift cards, including digital versions delivered by email, directly with your debit card. Visit the retailer’s website, select the gift card type and value, then enter your debit card details at checkout to complete the purchase.
The process may vary depending on the gift card you want to buy. For the most up‑to‑date information, visit the gift card issuer’s website or contact its customer service.
