Cash App Gift Cards: Everything You Need to Know
Cash App, the popular peer-to-peer payment service, has gained immense popularity for its convenience and user-friendly features. While Cash App itself doesn’t offer traditional physical or digital gift cards, users can still send money in a way that functions similarly to a gift card.
Can You Get a Cash App Gift Card?
As of now, Cash App does not sell official gift cards like Visa or Amazon. However, there are alternative ways to use Cash App as a gifting solution:
1. Cash App Balance as a "Gift Card"
You can load money into your Cash App account and send it to someone else.
The recipient can then use the funds for purchases, transfers, or even withdraw to their bank.
2. Buy a Prepaid Card & Load It via Cash App
Purchase a Visa or Mastercard gift card from a retailer.
Link it to your Cash App and transfer money onto it.
Give the prepaid card to someone as a gift.
3. Cash App Cash Card (Customizable Debit Card)
The Cash Card is a free, customizable debit card linked to your Cash App balance.
While not a gift card, you could load funds onto a Cash Card and give it to someone (though it remains tied to your account).
How to Send Money as a Gift on Cash App
Open Cash App and enter the amount.
Tap "Pay" and enter the recipient’s $Cashtag, phone number, or email.
Add a note (e.g., “Happy Birthday!”).
Confirm with your PIN or Touch ID.
Beware of Cash App Gift Card Scams
Scammers often trick users with fake "Cash App gift card" promotions. Remember:
Cash App never asks for payments or personal info to claim a gift.
Only send money to people you trust.
Conclusion
While Cash App doesn’t offer traditional gift cards, you can send money directly or use a prepaid card as an alternative. Always stay alert for scams and only use official Cash App features for secure transactions.
