What is the difference between an eCode and eGift Card?
eCodes are for online use only. You will be sent the card number and pin ONLY, there will be no digital card/link for a card. These are strictly for online use only and can’t be taken into store to be used. eCodes are different to eGift Cards. eGift Cards can be used both online and in store (provided the retailer can use gift cards in store). eGift Cards are sent with a digital cad/link for a card.
