One gift card, then another method
Can You Pay the Rest with Another Payment Method After Using a Gift Card?
Sometimes, but the merchant decides. Amazon.co.uk, Nike France and Sephora’s US/Canada program each describe a way to apply gift-card value first and cover a shortfall with another accepted payment method. Their account, channel and card-count rules still differ.
Where a shortfall payment is supported
| Program | When the card is short | When value remains | Extra limit that matters |
|---|---|---|---|
| Amazon.co.uk | Pay the remainder with another accepted payment method | Unused value stays in the redeemer’s Amazon.co.uk account | The unused balance cannot be transferred to another Amazon.co.uk account |
| Nike France | Pay the remainder with another accepted payment method | Check the balance rules attached to the eligible card | Nike France permits up to ten Nike gift cards on one order |
| Sephora US/Canada | Gift-card funds apply first; another payment method covers the rest | Unused value stays on the card | Online orders accept up to two gift cards/eGift Cards; more require an in-store purchase |
These are program-specific redemption rules. Nike France guidance does not establish Nike rules in every country, and Sephora’s US/Canada guidance must not be applied to a French Sephora card.
Three illustrative baskets
Illustrative only. The GBP 50 balance can be applied to an eligible purchase, leaving GBP 10 for another accepted payment method.
Illustrative only. Nike France says another accepted method can cover the EUR 20 difference. Product eligibility and the live checkout still control the purchase.
Illustrative only. Sephora applies the CAD 50 card funds first and another method covers CAD 30. If the order were smaller, unused value would remain on the card.
No amount in these examples is a live product price, exchange rate or crypto invoice.
Merchant split payment is separate from the crypto invoice
The split happens later, when the recipient redeems the gift card with Amazon, Nike or Sephora. When buying the card from Giftoshi, the crypto payment request supplies one exact asset amount on one named network. Do not intentionally underpay that invoice and expect a second method to cover it.
Also separate “one card plus another method” from “several gift cards.” Nike France allows up to ten Nike cards on one order, while Sephora’s US/Canada online channel accepts up to two cards. Those card-count rules answer a different question.
Quick answers
Can every gift card be combined with a bank card?
No. The merchant and channel decide. Use the current rules for the exact brand, country and product type.
Can I move leftover Amazon UK value to someone else?
No. Amazon.co.uk says an unused balance cannot be moved to another Amazon.co.uk account.
Can three Sephora cards be used online?
Sephora’s US/Canada guidance limits online orders to two gift cards or eGift Cards; using more requires an in-store purchase.
Does Nike France allow several Nike cards?
Yes. Its official help states that an order may use up to ten Nike gift cards.

Next step
Choose the card for the recipient’s merchant and country, then size the value as either full payment or a contribution. If it is a contribution, confirm that the merchant accepts a second method in the intended online or in-store channel.
