gift card.
Find an answer about your order, payment, or code. For a question about a specific purchase, contact us with the order number.
Orders & payment
Where is my order?
Open Orders and select the purchase. Check whether it is waiting for payment, processing, or asking you to complete verification. If payment is complete but the code has not arrived, contact us with the order number. Please do not place the same order again while we check it.
What does my order status mean?
- Pending payment: payment has not been completed.
- Failed: the payment attempt did not complete. Open the order to retry or cancel.
- On hold: the order needs attention before it can proceed. Read the message on the order for the next step.
- Processing: payment is complete and delivery is being prepared.
- Completed: the order has been delivered.
- Cancelled: the order will not proceed.
- Refunded: a refund has been recorded. Contact support if you need its payment details.
My payment failed. What should I do?
Open the order and choose Try payment again to try again. Check the payment instructions before submitting another transaction.
If your wallet already shows a payment, contact support with the order number and transaction reference before paying again.
I paid, but my order is still unpaid
Send us the order number, transaction hash, currency, network, and amount you sent. We can use those details to investigate the payment. Never send your wallet recovery phrase or private key.
Which cryptocurrencies and networks can I use?
Use a currency and network offered by the payment option at checkout. Follow that payment request’s address, amount, and expiry instructions. A coin name alone does not identify its network; sending it on a different network can prevent the payment from being received.
Can I change an order after placing it?
Contact us with the order number and the change you need. If the order is still unpaid, check whether you can cancel it before placing a replacement. If you have already paid, ask us to check the order first.
Gift cards & redemption
Which region should I choose?
Check the country and currency of the account that will receive the code, then read the product’s region note. Your current location is not always the account’s region. For example, a US PlayStation code needs a US PlayStation account; Google Play also restricts the country where a card is used.
Where is my code?
How do I redeem a gift card?
Follow the redemption steps for the specific card you bought. Most store cards are redeemed on the brand’s website, app, or console; game currency and memberships can use a different route. Check that you are signed in to the account you want to credit before confirming.
My code does not work
Copy the code carefully, check the account region, and use the redemption route for that product. If the brand still rejects it, send us your order number and the exact error message.
You can attach a screenshot in an account ticket. Hide the full code and unrelated personal details in the image. Do not post the code publicly or keep trying it on different accounts.
The code says it has already been used
Check the brand account’s balance, purchase history, or membership status to see whether your first attempt succeeded. If it has not, stop trying the code and contact support with the order number, the error, and when you first attempted redemption.
Do gift cards expire?
Expiry and usage rules depend on the brand and card program. Check the product information and the issuer’s terms for your card. If an expiry date is not clear, ask us about that specific product before buying.
Your account
I cannot log in
Use the email address you bought with. Select Forgot your password? on the password step to request a reset link. If you cannot access that email address, contact support rather than creating another account to look for the order.
I have not received my password reset email
Check the address you entered and your spam folder. Request a new link if the previous one has expired, and use the latest message. If it still does not arrive, contact us with the account email. Never send us your password.
How do I change my email or password?
Open Account Settings to update your name, email, or password. If you entered the wrong address when ordering and cannot sign in, contact support with your order number and the address you entered.
Giving a gift
Can I buy a card for someone else?
Yes. Check the recipient’s account country and the kind of credit or membership they want before choosing a card. After delivery, send them the code privately. You do not need to share your GiftArena password.
Identity verification
Why have I been asked for ID?
Your purchase requires an identity check before payment. Open Verification to see the request and submit the documents. If you have a question about the request, contact support.
What photos should I submit?
Use a clear photo of your government-issued ID, including the back where applicable, and a selfie holding a note with GiftArena. Keep the document edges and text visible. The upload form lists accepted file formats and sizes.
Upload these photos only on the Verification page, not in a ticket, contact form, or email.
What if my submission is pending or rejected?
A pending submission is waiting for review. You can check its status in Verification. If it is rejected, read the reason shown there and submit new photos that address it. Contact us if you need help with the instructions.
Can I withdraw my submission?
You can withdraw a pending submission from Verification. If verification is still required for the purchase, you will need to submit again and receive approval before paying.
What happens to my identity photos?
Only authorized reviewers can view them. Photos are deleted 30 days after approval, rejection, or withdrawal. A record of the decision is retained.
Cancellations & refunds
Can I cancel an unpaid order?
Open the order in Orders and use Cancel if it is available. If a payment has already left your wallet, contact support before cancelling or placing another order.
How do I request a refund?
Contact us with your order number and the reason for your request. Report a faulty, previously used, or incorrectly supplied code within 30 calendar days of delivery. Include the exact redemption error and whether the code has been redeemed. Later requests are reviewed individually.
An undelivered paid item can be cancelled. Delivered codes cannot be returned for a change of mind. For payment errors, refund fees, and other conditions, see our Refund & cancellation policy.
How are crypto refunds calculated?
We return the original crypto amount paid for the refunded part of your purchase, less the outgoing network fee. We do not recalculate it at the current exchange rate. Fees charged for your original payment are not refunded. Support confirms the refund address, network, fee, and amount with you before sending it.
How do I check a refund?
Check the order for the refunded amount. Contact support for the payment reference or if you cannot locate the funds. Include your order number; do not send wallet credentials.
Contact & privacy
Can I ask a question before buying?
Yes. Use the contact form without signing in. Tell us the brand, card, and account country if you need help choosing.
What should I include when contacting support?
For an order issue, include the order number, what happened, and the exact error message. For a payment issue, add the transaction reference. An account ticket lets you attach screenshots and follow replies; the public contact form is also available if you cannot sign in.
How do I ask about my personal data?
Contact us from the email address associated with your account and describe your request. Do not include identity documents or passwords in the message.
