1. Linked Card: Using a linked card as usual at a participating store/restaurant (What does it mean to swipe my card?)
2. eGift Card: Purchasing an electronic gift card (eGift card) in advance through PayForward.com using your linked card or PayForward account balance. Then present your gift card to the store or enter the card number online. (What is an eGift Card and how do I use it?)

IMPORTANT: Debit cards must be used as a credit card. Do not use a PIN. For more information, see Legal Disclosures.
IMPORTANT: You will only be able to access PayForward to retrieve your eGift cards until November 1, 2023.
PLEASE USE YOUR GIFT CARDS NOW. If you have unused gift cards that you cannot use right away, please copy the entire gift card code and PIN (if shown).
Can I use my gift cards after that date?
Yes, the gift card remains valid, however you will no longer be able to access it via the portal.
How do I know which gift cards are used?
We cannot see your transaction history or balances on a gift card. We do not know if a gift card is used or not. If you're not sure of the balance for a gift card, the best place to check is the retailer website, just like you would for a plastic gift card.
