Gift Card Code vs Promo Code: Two Codes with Different Jobs
Enter promo code 5%2026 at Giftoshi checkout to reduce an eligible first paid order’s item subtotal by 5% through 31 December 2026. Use the delivered gift-card code later with the named retailer. The promotion changes what the buyer pays; it does not change the card’s face value.
The two codes belong to different transactions
| Code | Where it is entered | What it changes | Who should receive it |
|---|---|---|---|
| 5%2026 promo code | Giftoshi checkout before requesting payment | Eligible item subtotal | Buyer may use it on the eligible first paid order |
| Delivered gift-card code | The named retailer’s app, account, website or store channel | Adds or spends the selected face value under retailer rules | Only the intended recipient |
| Crypto receiving address | The buyer’s wallet send screen | Routes one blockchain transfer | Never treat it as a retail code |
A QR on the payment request represents crypto payment data. It is not the retailer gift-card code.
Hypothetical 100-to-95 order
A card has a face value of 100 and the Giftoshi item subtotal is 100. On an eligible first paid order, code 5%2026 subtracts 5, so the discounted item subtotal is 95. The gift card delivered still carries 100 of face value.
The wallet or network fee is separate from both figures. The exact crypto payment amount is calculated when the 60-minute request is created.
The promotion follows the paid order and email
Eligibility applies to the first paid Giftoshi order per normalized email address and store. Spacing and letter case are normalized when the email is checked. The code is valid through 31 December 2026, inclusive UTC.
An active invoice issued before the cutoff keeps its original 60-minute quote window. New applications or quotes after the cutoff are rejected.
Keep the retailer code private after delivery
The gift-card code is value-bearing and may be single-use or bind to an account after redemption. Do not publish it in a support forum or share it with someone who is not the recipient.
For support, provide the order reference and transaction ID. Giftoshi’s contact form says never to include a full gift-card code, wallet seed phrase or private key.
Questions before you choose
Does 5%2026 reduce the card balance?
No. It reduces the eligible item subtotal; face value remains intact.
When does 5%2026 end?
It is valid through 31 December 2026, inclusive UTC.
Can the promo code be entered at Amazon or Tesco?
No. It belongs in Giftoshi checkout. The delivered retailer code is used with the merchant.
Should I scan the payment QR at the retailer?
No. That QR is for the crypto transfer, not brand redemption.

Use the promotion first and the value-bearing code later
Apply 5%2026 before the payment request, then protect the delivered gift-card code until it reaches the intended recipient and redemption channel.
