Gift Cards at Giant Eagle: The Complete List of Brands, Fees & Where to Buy (2026)

If you are standing in a Giant Eagle aisle staring at a wall of gift cards, or you are on the site trying to figure out whether the card you want is even carried, you are in the right place. Giant Eagle runs one of the larger grocery gift card programs in the country, with its own store cards plus a rotating mix of restaurant, retail, entertainment, and travel brands. Here is what is actually on the rack, what it costs, and how the myPerks program treats these purchases.

Gift Card Brands Available at Giant Eagle

Giant Eagle sells two kinds of gift cards. The first is its own family of cards: Giant Eagle, Market District, GetGo, Express, and WetGo Car Wash. These work like store credit and can be used across participating locations for groceries, pharmacy general items, prepared foods, and fuel at GetGo pumps, among other eligible purchases. They are also available as eGift cards that you can often stash in Apple Wallet or Google Pay.

The second category is third-party brands, and this is where the selection gets wide. Giant Eagle carries a rotating assortment of dining, retail, entertainment, travel, gaming, and prepaid cards in stores, online for pickup, and through its official Gift Card Gallery marketplace. Availability varies by store and by stock, so a brand you saw last month may not be on the rack today.

Dining, Restaurants, and Food Delivery

This is the deepest category. You will typically find Applebee's, Arby's, Bahama Breeze, Benihana, BJ's Restaurants, Bloomin' Brands (Outback and siblings), Bonefish Grill, Buffalo Wild Wings, Burger King, Carrabba's, Cheddar's Scratch Kitchen, The Cheesecake Factory, Chili's, Chipotle, Cold Stone Creamery, Cracker Barrel, Crumbl, Darden Restaurants, Domino's, DoorDash, Five Guys, IHOP, Jersey Mike's, Kura Sushi, LongHorn Steakhouse, McDonald's, Olive Garden, Outback Steakhouse, Panera, Papa John's, Pizza Hut, Qdoba, Red Lobster, Red Robin, Ruth's Chris, Shake Shack, Starbucks, Subway, Taco Bell, Texas Roadhouse, Wendy's, and Yard House, plus regional names like Cameron Mitchell, Primanti Bros., and Raising Cane's. If you are buying a Cracker Barrel card for someone who loves a Sunday breakfast run, you can point them to how to check the Cracker Barrel gift card balance later.

Entertainment, Movies, Streaming, and Gaming

Movie and streaming cards are a big draw here. Look for AMC Theatres, Cinemark, Fandango at Home, Disney, Hulu, Netflix, Regal, and ticket platforms like StubHub and Gametime. Gaming and digital brands include Xbox, PlayStation, Nintendo eShop, Roblox, and Discord. Netflix cards in particular tend to move fast during the holidays, and if you want to check what is left on one after a few months of streaming, see how to check your Netflix gift card balance.

Retail, Apparel, and Specialty

This is the biggest bucket by brand count. Expect Abercrombie & Fitch, Adidas, Aeropostale, American Eagle Outfitters, Athleta, Banana Republic, Barnes & Noble, Bath & Body Works, Belk, Best Buy, Boscov's, Build-A-Bear, DICK'S Sporting Goods, Gap and Old Navy, H&M, Hollister, HomeGoods, JCPenney, Kohl's, Lowe's, Macy's, Nike, Nordstrom and Nordstrom Rack, REI, Sephora, Staples, Target, T.J. Maxx and Marshalls, Ulta Beauty, Under Armour, Victoria's Secret, Wayfair, and Williams Sonoma brands including West Elm and Pottery Barn. You will also run into Bass Pro and Cabela's, Foot Locker, GameStop, Hot Topic, Lululemon, Michaels, and Petco or PetSmart depending on the store. If you pick up a Victoria's Secret card for someone, the Victoria's Secret and PINK balance check page is the quickest way to confirm what is on it.

Travel, Lodging, and Transport

Travel cards show up less predictably but are worth scanning for. Confirmed names include Airbnb, Amtrak, Hotels.com, Marriott, Princess Cruises, Carnival, and Southwest Airlines. Stock rotates and travel cards often sell out ahead of summer and the December holidays.

Prepaid and Multi-Brand Cards

Giant Eagle also stocks Visa and Mastercard prepaid gift cards, One4All multi-brand cards, Spafinder, and a handful of auto brands like Advance Auto and AutoZone. Amazon gift cards are sold too, though they earn perks at a reduced rate. These prepaid and multi-brand options are a good fit when you are not sure which single brand the recipient would actually use. For One4All specifically, checking your One4All gift card balance works a little differently than a single-brand card, so it helps to know the process before you hand one over.

Denominations, Fees, and Purchase Limits

Giant Eagle's own cards come in a typical $5 to $500 range. Online, you can set a custom amount anywhere inside that window, and the gallery form notes quantity limits that can run as high as 25 cards per order.

Third-party denominations are far more brand-specific. You will see ranges like $5 to $250, $10 to $500, or $25 to $200 depending on the brand, and fixed $25, $50, or $100 cards are the norm on the physical rack. Gaming and streaming cards sometimes come in smaller fixed amounts. Visa and Mastercard prepaid cards usually land in $25, $50, $100, and $200 increments. The online gallery lets you enter custom amounts within a brand's range when that brand supports it.

Fees are the part shoppers ask about most. Giant Eagle's own gift cards carry no activation fees and no dormancy or service fees. Most third-party merchant cards sold at Giant Eagle also come with no added purchase or activation fee. The clear exception is Visa and Mastercard branded prepaid cards, which do carry an activation or purchase fee, commonly in the $4 to $7 range. One Giant Eagle listing for a $50 Visa card showed a $5.95 purchase fee. Those prepaid cards are not reloadable and standard restrictions apply, including no ATM cash access and no gambling use. The funds themselves do not expire.

Giant Eagle's own cards are nonrefundable, will not be exchanged for cash, and will not be replaced if lost or stolen, per the official terms. Third-party and prepaid cards follow the usual retail practice of being excluded from normal returns once purchased. Some states have laws that allow small leftover balances to be cashed out, but that is a legal minimum, not a store policy.

In-Store vs. Online Availability

You have three real paths to buy. First, walk into any Giant Eagle, Market District, or GetGo location and grab a card off the rack or ask at the register. Second, order through the main gianteagle.com grocery catalog for in-store pickup, where physical third-party and own-brand cards appear alongside groceries. Some Visa and prepaid items in that catalog are pickup-only and require ID at collection, and store selection is usually required before the catalog will show you what is in stock. Third, shop the dedicated online Gift Card Gallery at giftcard.gianteagle.com, which functions as Giant Eagle's official gift card marketplace. Many brands there are sold as eGift cards with brand-specific denomination ranges.

Gift cards can often be added to curbside and online grocery orders, though individual promotions sometimes spell out whether a bonus applies to in-store, curbside, or online purchases. The short version: availability of a specific brand depends heavily on the store and the week. If you need one particular card for one particular occasion, calling ahead or checking the gallery is smarter than assuming the rack has it.

myPerks Rewards on Gift Card Purchases

Giant Eagle's loyalty program is called myPerks, and it is tied to the Loyalty or Advantage Card. Joining is free, and there is a paid Pro tier. Members earn 1 perk per $1 spent on eligible gift card purchases, and Pros earn 1.5 perks per $1 on qualifying gift cards. Perks redeem for dollars off groceries or cents off fuel at GetGo, with roughly 50 perks equaling $1 off.

The exclusions matter more than the earning rate. You do not earn perks on Giant Eagle, Market District, or GetGo gift cards themselves, and certain Visa prepaid reloadable products are excluded too. Amazon.com gift cards earn at half the standard rate, one-half perk per $1, and they do not count toward bonus or multiplier offers. Visa and Mastercard branded gift cards are excluded from bonus perk events, and they are generally treated as non-earning or restricted for standard gift-card earning. You also cannot redeem perks toward buying gift cards. Gift card purchases can be subject to a maximum multiplier cap, with 5x noted in program terms.

Where the program gets interesting is targeted promotions. Giant Eagle regularly runs limited-time offers with hundreds of bonus perks for buying specific third-party cards or categories, often dining, movies, DoorDash, REI, Best Buy, or Ulta, and these promos can apply in-store, curbside, or online. They rotate, they are not always advertised broadly, and they are the single best reason to buy a gift card here rather than somewhere else. Own-brand grocery items and fuel have their own higher earn rates, and Pro status pushes those higher still.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does Giant Eagle sell Walmart or Walgreens gift cards?

Typically no. Walmart, Walgreens, and similar direct competitors are not expected to be on the rack, and a researched list from 2023 confirmed these were not carried at the time. Availability is selective across all brands, so it is worth checking the online gallery or calling your store if you need a specific one.

Do Giant Eagle gift cards expire or charge fees?

No. Giant Eagle's own gift cards have no activation fees, no dormancy or service fees, and they do not expire, so the balance carries until it is spent. Most third-party merchant cards sold at Giant Eagle also carry no added purchase fee, with Visa and Mastercard prepaid cards being the main exception.

Can I use more than one gift card in a single transaction?

Yes. Giant Eagle allows multiple cards to be used in one transaction, and there is no published overall cap on how many you can combine. Individual card maximums and occasional ID requirements for certain prepaid cards still apply, so bring identification if you are buying Visa or Mastercard prepaid cards.

Do I earn myPerks for buying gift cards at Giant Eagle?

You earn 1 perk per $1 on eligible gift card purchases, and Pro members earn 1.5 perks per $1. The exclusions are the catch: Giant Eagle, Market District, and GetGo gift cards do not earn, Amazon cards earn at half rate, and Visa and Mastercard prepaid cards are excluded from bonus events. Perks also cannot be redeemed to buy gift cards.

Can I return a gift card I bought at Giant Eagle?

Giant Eagle's own cards are nonrefundable and cannot be exchanged for cash, and they will not be replaced if lost or stolen. Third-party and prepaid cards follow the standard retail rule of being excluded from returns once purchased, and Visa card terms specifically state the card is not refundable at retail stores.
