Frequently Asked Questions questions

Find answers to common questions about Gift Card Manager.

General questions

Do I need an account to use the app?

Yes. Creating an account is required to use the app. It allows data to be synchronized across your devices, except for the card number and PIN, which are stored on your phone.

Are my data sent to a server?

Yes. Essential information about your cards (such as the card name, balance, expiration date, etc.) is securely stored on our servers. Only the card number and PIN, which are considered sensitive, are kept locally on your device and are never transmitted.

Can I use the app offline?

No. The app requires an Internet connection to work properly, notably to sync your data and ensure a smooth experience.

Can I transfer my data to another device?

Yes. By signing in with your account on a new device, you’ll automatically find all your cards and settings, except for the card number and PIN, which are only stored locally on your previous device.
If you want to keep these, you can use the sharing feature (available to Premium members) to generate a PDF containing the card details, including its number and PIN. This document can then be transferred securely.

Should I keep proof of my gift cards?

Yes. Gift Card Manager is a convenient tool to manage and track your gift cards, but it does not replace the original proof provided by the retailer (receipts, confirmation emails, or physical cards). We strongly recommend keeping all official purchase documents, which may be required in case of a claim, loss, or dispute with the merchant.

Pricing

Is the app free?

Yes, the app is free to download on iOS and Android.

Are there in-app purchases?

Some advanced features are available only to Premium members, such as: sharing cards as PDF and advanced expiration reminders (multiple notifications).

Can I scan my card’s barcode?

Yes. The app lets you scan the barcode to make in-store use easier.

Will the app warn me before a card expires?

Yes. You can enable expiration date reminders and even choose their frequency with the advanced reminders option.

Can I share a gift card with someone?

Yes. With a Premium membership, you can generate a PDF containing all essential information about your gift card (brand, initial amount, balance, expiration date). You can also include the card number and PIN if you wish. This PDF can then be shared via email, WhatsApp, or any other app. Note that you are fully responsible for sharing this information. The app publisher cannot be held liable in the event of fraudulent use or data theft.
