An eGift card, also known as a digital gift card, mobile gift card, or virtual gift card, is a type of gift card that is bought online and sent to the recipient via email or text message. It is a prepaid stored-value money card that can be used as an alternative to cash for purchases within a specific retailer or bank. The recipient can use the code on the eGift card to make purchases online or in-store, depending on the retailers policy.

Some advantages of eGift cards include their convenience, security, and the fact that they cannot be physically lost. They also limit how much you spend online, which can be helpful for those who have difficulty controlling their spending. However, one disadvantage is that they limit your shopping choices, as they can usually only be used at specific stores or outlets.

Examples of popular eGift cards include Visa eGift cards, Amazon eGift cards, and Best Buy eGift cards.
