My gift card code doesn't work. What should I check?

Check that the card's region matches your account country, that you are on the brand's own redemption page, and that the code is copied exactly.

Run the five checks below in order. If the code still fails, write to samantha@genghis.pro within 30 days with your order number and a screenshot of the error from the brand's redemption page. Refunds within 30 days if a code fails at first redemption, arrives incomplete or never arrives, or our page showed the wrong region.

What should I check first?

The region, then the platform, the typing, whether the code was already used, and the expiry date.

1. The region. Gift card redemption is region locked: an Amazon US card redeems on amazon.com, an Amazon DE card on amazon.de. Each product page lists the country or region where the code works. Compare it with the country of your account on the brand's site.
2. The platform. Redeem on the brand's own redemption page or app. The product page shows the redemption steps for the brand you bought.
3. The typing. Copy the code from the payment screen or from the page our email links to, and paste it rather than typing it. Check that no space slipped in before or after it. Lost the page? Read how to get your code back after closing the page.
4. Already used. Look at your balance or redemption history on the brand's site: an earlier attempt may have worked.
5. The expiry date. Expiration is set by the brand, not by Genghis. Check the product page and the brand's own terms.

What should I send if the code still doesn't work?

Your order number and a screenshot of the error, within 30 days of your purchase. Write to samantha@genghis.pro from the email address you ordered with, and include:

• your order number: it is in the subject of our emails;
• a screenshot of the error on the brand's redemption page;
• the country your account on the brand's site is set to.

No order number? Read how we find your order without one. A person on our team reads every email, and we reply within 24 hours on business days.

Will I get a refund?

Yes, if the code fails at first redemption and you write within 30 days. Redeemed codes, codes that expired after delivery, and restrictions on your own account or region when our page was correct are not refunded. Refunds are paid in USDT or USDC (ERC-20 or BEP-20) or as Genghis Points, 1 to 3 business days after approval. Read how to get a refund, and in which coin it is paid, or the full refund policy.
