Can You Buy Gift Cards with Credit Cards? 2025 Guide: Methods, Limits, Fees & Tips

 

Gift cards 

Yes, you can purchase most gift cards with a credit card, both in physical stores and online. However, you should be aware of a few potential issues, such as your credit card issuer treating the purchase as a cash advance or certain retailers restricting the use of credit for some types of gift cards. 

In-store purchases
  • You can buy gift cards with a credit card at most grocery stores, big-box retailers like Walmart and Target, and drugstores.
  • Some retailers may limit the number of gift cards you can buy with a credit card at one time.
  • Some stores, or cashiers at those stores, may have policies that prevent buying specific types of gift cards with a credit card, particularly general-purpose cards from Visa or Mastercard. When in doubt, it's best to ask a store representative. 
Online purchases
  • Most online retailers allow you to purchase their own brand of gift cards with a credit card.
  • You can also buy gift cards from major credit card networks (Visa, Mastercard, American Express) on various websites.
  • Many online gift card marketplaces also accept credit cards for purchasing a wide variety of gift cards. 
Potential drawbacks
  • Cash advance fees: Some credit card issuers may classify the purchase of a gift card—especially network-branded ones from Visa or Mastercard—as a cash advance rather than a standard purchase. This can trigger high fees and immediate interest charges.
  • No rewards: Some credit card fine print excludes gift card purchases from earning rewards points or cash back.
  • Limits: Your credit card company or a merchant may have daily or transaction limits for gift card purchases to prevent fraudulent activity. 
How to protect yourself
  • Check the terms: Review your credit card's terms and conditions or call your issuer to see how gift card purchases are coded.
  • Know the merchant: Pay attention to how you make the purchase. Buying directly from a specific store (e.g., from Target.com) is less likely to be coded as a cash advance than buying through a third-party payment platform.
  • Pay off the balance: Always pay off your credit card balance in full and on time. If you carry a balance, the interest charges will wipe out any rewards you earn.
