Why eGift Cards?
eGift Cards Explained
What is an e-gift card?
We all remember traditional gift vouchers or giftcards. Whether it was Christmas, a birthday, or another special occasion, they were the ideal gift. However, such vouchers and cards were often only redeemable at a single store or a handful at best.
E-gift cards are more flexible, more functional, and more enjoyable.
An eGift card is a digital card that you can top up with an amount of money, which can then be sent electronically to a person as a gift on a special occasion or just to be kind. This gift card can be used online to purchase from websites or in stores.
Think about plastic gift cards – the value isn't the card itself; it's the cash value loaded on them. Take away the plastic, and you've got an e-gift card. These digital gift cards use an app as their token and drop the needless plastic. Everything else is the same.
Plus, with no physical card, their value can be spent at a vast swathe of retailers, from restaurants to clothes shops to holidays and more. It's up to you.

Why e-gift cards?
Nothing could be simpler than using an e-gift card. Load up the money, add a fun message, and hit send. It's that simple!
An e-gift card is a perfect present! You can load up any amount for the recipient to spend. The DONO card stands out from other eGift cards on the market as it allows you to add a personal touch to your gift. You can include a heartfelt message – be it a video, photo, or written message – and send it anywhere in the US. This message is kept within the DONO app indefinitely, meaning that the person can look back at it as much as they want to.
Unlike many other eGift cards, the DONO card does not have an expiry date, meaning that the recipient can redeem their gift at a time that suits them, rather than feeling under pressure to make a purchase.
Additionally, eGird cards are great for the environment as it reduces plastic pollution by not using a physical card. The eGift card can then be topped by more than once, meaning it can be reused time and time again.
Physical gift cards details can often be stolen and used fraudulently as scammers are known to find the gift card numbers while at the store and alter the security covering that blocks the pin on the card, meaning that it looks like it has not been used. Once the card has been activated at the store, the scammers can then use these cards before the recipient has a chance to. DONO eGift cards are delivered directly to the recipient and have to be accepted by them in order to be used. This reduces the chance of interception, making them a more secure option.
Best of all, they're easy and convenient to use with DONO's amazing App. You can keep track of your remaining balance, and there are no hidden charges. eGift cards allow the recipient to access what they are looking to purchase online, instead of heading to a physical store meaning that they have access to a wider range of products.
