When you can’t decide what to get someone, a gift card lets them choose for themselves. GiftCards.com has cards for hundreds of brands, from DoorDash and Uber to Nintendo and The Container Store, and below we cover the best ways to save on them, including the newsletter code, rewards points and more.

Save Up to 15% on Gift Cards With Halloween Promo Codes

GiftCards.com has four Halloween promo codes for food delivery, ride and restaurant gift cards, and they run through Oct. 31. Each one takes 10% or 15% off a specific brand.

Here are the Halloween codes.

  • SWEETDASH: 10% off DoorDash gift cards
  • SPOOKYRIDE: 10% off $100 Uber or Uber Eats gift cards
  • BOOCHANG: 15% off $50 P.F. Chang’s gift cards
  • TREATS15: 15% off $50 Hardee’s or Carl’s Jr. gift cards

Each code works once, and you can use it on up to three cards per order. The codes can’t be combined with other promotions, including the Daily Deal.

Get $5 Off When You Sign Up for the Newsletter

New subscribers to the GiftCards.com newsletter get $5 off their next order of $50 or more. To sign up, enter your email in the pop-up on the homepage and click “Sign Up,” and GiftCards.com will email you the code shortly after.

The offer is only for new and first-time subscribers, so it won’t apply if you’ve signed up before. After that first discount, you’ll keep getting emails about early-bird deals and upcoming sales, which helps since GiftCards.com’s offers change often.

Save 10% or More on a Featured Gift Card With Code DAILYDEAL

GiftCards.com features one brand’s gift cards each day in the “Today’s Deal” banner on its homepage, and code DAILYDEAL takes at least 10% off that brand at checkout. The code stays the same, but the featured brand changes, so it only works on whichever gift card is in the spotlight that day.

Recent deals have included The Cheesecake Factory, Dave & Buster’s, Nintendo and The Container Store. Most take 10% off, but some go higher, like a recent 15% off Dave & Buster’s gift cards. If the featured brand matches a gift card you already planned to buy, enter DAILYDEAL at checkout.

Earn $1 for Every 100 Points With GiftCards.com Rewards

GiftCards.com Rewards is free, and you’re enrolled automatically once you register for an account. Points add up as you shop, and you can use them for instant savings on future orders.

How to Earn Points

You earn points automatically when you buy gift cards from participating brands, and the amount varies by brand. Bonus point promotions can help you earn faster. Just know that several popular brands don’t earn points, including Visa, Mastercard, Target, Starbucks, Apple, Home Depot, Disney and Nordstrom, so check the product page if you’re not sure.

How to Use Your Points

Every 100 points takes $1 off your order. At checkout, GiftCards.com shows your balance and what it’s worth, and you can apply all of it or just some. Points expire 365 days after you earn them, and GiftCards.com sends reminders before they do.

Get Free Shipping on Your First Three Physical One4all Gift Cards

One4all gift cards work at a group of brands instead of just one, which makes them an easy pick when you’re not sure where someone likes to shop. GiftCards.com ships your first three physical One4all cards free with USPS standard shipping, and you don’t need a promo code.

Here are the One4all cards that ship free.

  • Let’s Eat: $20 to $500, for restaurants like The Cheesecake Factory, Panera Bread, Red Lobster and Cold Stone Creamery
  • Food & Laughs: $20 to $500, for restaurants like BJ’s Restaurant & Brewhouse, Cracker Barrel and Red Robin
  • Happy Moments: $20 to $500, for a mix of stores and restaurants like Macy’s, Ulta Beauty and Buffalo Wild Wings
  • Spafinder: $10 to $500, for spas and wellness centers

Earn Up to 5% Back With Visa Gift Cards

Physical Visa gift cards from GiftCards.com come with the Five Back Program, which adds up to 5% of what you spend back onto the same card when you shop at participating merchants. For example, a $50 purchase at a merchant paying 5% puts $2.50 back on your card balance. The card works anywhere Visa debit cards are accepted in the U.S., but you only earn cash back at the stores and restaurants on GiftCards.com’s list.

Participating merchants include a mix of stores, restaurants and entertainment spots, such as the following:

  • Shopping: Adidas, Gap, Old Navy, Sephora, Ulta Beauty, Wayfair and Williams-Sonoma
  • Dining: Cracker Barrel, Outback Steakhouse, Panera Bread and Red Lobster
  • Entertainment: Dave & Buster’s, Regal and Topgolf

Cash back usually shows up on your card within 48 to 72 hours, and you keep earning until the balance drops to $0.10 or less.

Enrollment is automatic on physical Visa gift cards, including personalized photo, custom designer and business cards. The program doesn’t cover brand gift cards, Mastercard gift cards or virtual Visa cards.

How to Use a GiftCards.com Promo Code

Here’s how to apply a promo code at checkout.

  1. Add your gift cards to your cart, then click the cart icon in the top right to open “My Cart.”
  2. In the “Order summary” panel, enter your code in the “Enter Promo Code” box and click “Apply.”
  3. Check that the discount shows up in your “Cart Total” before you click “Proceed to Payment.”

If your code doesn’t work, make sure your cart qualifies. Many codes only apply to certain cards, like DAILYDEAL on the featured card of the day, or need a minimum order, like the $50 minimum on the newsletter code. Also check for typos and make sure the code hasn’t expired. GiftCards.com accepts only one code per order, so you can’t combine two codes on the same purchase.

Editor’s Take

If this is your first order, sign up for the newsletter before you buy. The $5 code works on orders of $50 or more, so it’s the easiest discount for most shoppers to use.

If you don’t know what to get someone, choose a physical Visa gift card. They can spend it almost anywhere, and it earns up to 5% back at stores like Sephora and Old Navy.

If you buy gift cards often, keep an eye on your Rewards points. They add up on most brands, but they expire a year after you earn them, so use them on your next order instead of saving them.
