Gift Cards
Buying a keyboard, a mouse, or even a case for someone else is a bit of a gamble. You might land on exactly the switch feel or grip shape they have been eyeing, or you might hand over something that looks right in the photos and wrong the moment they actually sit down with it. A gift card sidesteps that gamble entirely, they still get a real gift with your name attached to it, they just get to decide what it becomes.
How It Works
Gift cards are delivered by email, usually within minutes of purchase, and come in amounts from $25 to $500. Inside is a code, and that code is the entire redemption process: enter it at checkout and the balance comes off the total automatically. No account required to buy one, no account required to use one.
What It Can Be Put Toward
Every case, keyboard, mouse, cable, and cooler in the store is fair game, there is no smaller gift card only selection hiding behind a bigger catalog. If the balance does not cover the whole order, the rest can be paid with a card at checkout, and if anything is left over afterward, it simply stays on the gift card for next time.
Sending It As An Actual Gift
At checkout, delivery can be scheduled for a specific date instead of sending it right away, so it lands in their inbox the morning of, not three weeks early sitting unread and half forgotten. There is also a spot for a short note, since a gift card with your name on it reads very differently from one that just says Alexcomputers in the subject line.
A Few Common Questions
Do gift cards expire?
No. Whatever is left on the balance stays there until it gets used, there is no countdown running quietly in the background.
Can I check the balance on a gift card?
Yes, enter the code on the gift card page and the remaining balance shows up right away, no need to message support just to check.
Can I use a gift card on discounted items?
Yes, it works the same as any other payment method. The discount applies first, and the gift card covers whatever is left after that.
I lost the email with my code, what now?
Message us with the name and email used to buy it and we can look it up and resend it. The code itself is not tied to a device or browser, so a new email gets you right back to where you were.
Can a gift card be refunded for cash?
Gift card purchases are final, but the balance itself never expires, so there is no rush to use it all in one order.
