Is Giftnovo available in my language?+

The site is available in Spanish, English, French, and Italian. You can switch languages from the selector in the footer.

Does Giftnovo charge any fees?+

No. We don't charge any extra fee for selling or buying gift cards.

Selling gift cards

How do I sell a gift card?+

Find your brand among the active offers, open a trade, and use the chat to send your card's code. Payment lands in your wallet as soon as the card is confirmed as valid.

How much time do I have to send the code?+

Fifteen minutes from when you open the trade. If you mark the trade as paid before time runs out, it keeps going as normal; if not, it cancels on its own.

What happens if there's a problem with my trade?+

You can open a dispute from the trade. The Giftnovo team reviews the case and decides whether the payment gets released or the trade gets cancelled.

My gift card brand isn't in the offers list, what do I do?+

You can submit a custom request. That opens a direct chat with the team to work out the price and payment method.

Buying gift cards

How do I buy a gift card?+

Pick a brand and an amount in the store, pay with your wallet balance, and that's it. No card or external account needed.

How do I get the code for the gift card I bought?+

We send it to the email on your account after your purchase is confirmed. It's sent manually, so it can take a little while, but the team gets notified as soon as your order comes in.

Is there a minimum or maximum amount?+

Each offer or listing has its own minimum and maximum, shown before you open a trade or make a purchase.

Security

How do you protect my funds during a trade?+

Funds don't leave the platform until the gift card is confirmed as real and unused. All exchange of information happens through the trade chat.

What is two-factor authentication (2FA)?+

It's an extra layer of security you can turn on from your profile. Once it's on, you need a code from your authenticator app in addition to your password to log in.

What happens if I lose access to my authenticator app?+

When you turn on 2FA you get 8 single-use backup codes. Keep them somewhere safe: they let you log in if you lose your phone.

When do I need to verify my identity (KYC)?+

Only for withdrawals above 500 USD or its equivalent. Smaller amounts don't require it.

Referrals

How does the referral program work?+

You share your referral code or link. When that person completes their first released trade or first gift card purchase, you both get €2 in your wallet.

Is there a monthly limit on bonuses?+

Yes, up to 5 referral bonuses per month. If you go over that, the rest pay out the following month.

Account and wallet

How do I deposit money into my wallet?+

From your account, through our payment processor. The balance is available as soon as the deposit is confirmed.

How do I contact support?+

If your question is about a trade or a custom request, write directly in its chat. For anything else, use our contact page.
