Common Questions

Can I use my gift card in a store?

Yes! While some retailers may have specific instructions for using your gift card in-store, the majority of retail gift cards can be used in-store by printing them out or displaying them on your smartphone to the cashier. Some cards may even be able to be loaded to your device’s digital wallet for easy, anytime access. We recommend verifying the retailer’s guidelines before visiting a physical store location to ensure a seamless transaction.

Why haven't I received my gift card email?
If you haven’t received your gift card in your inbox, be sure to check your spam/junk folder. If you use Gmail, also check your “Promotions” folder. Gift card emails are sent from noreply@tangocard.com, which we recommend searching for in your inbox. If you think there may have been a typo in your email address, please contact Cheddar Up Support.
Will my gift card expire?
The retail brand gift cards in our store have no expiration date. However, the Mastercard® Prepaid Card has a 6-month redemption window in which you can spend your card’s balance. If your gift card has an expiration date, it will be clearly provided with your card information.
Can I request a physical gift card instead?
Only electronic gift cards are available at this time. Rest assured, electronic gift cards have the same usability as physical cards. And the bonus is that you don't need to worry about leaving home without them!
Is my gift card returnable?
Once your gift card link is redeemed, your gift card cannot be returned or exchanged.
Why does my gift card code/pin not work?
For security reasons, electronic gift cards are usually sent with a code/pin. If you encounter an error when redeeming your card, this is typically the result of issues with copying and pasting the code. Be sure there are no extra spaces added when entering the code into the retailer's activation field.
