What Is A Gift Code

A gift code is the 16- to 25-digit number located on the front or back of a gift card. Depending on the brand, a gift code can also be alphanumeric. Note that the Personal Identification Number (PIN) and Card Value Verification (CVV) are not part of the gift code but are required for security.
