Grubhub Gift Card: How to Buy, Send and Redeem One

Summary: Grubhub gift cards come in digital and physical form and never expire. Redeem one from the Gift Cards section of your Grubhub account, or enter the code at checkout, and the value comes off your order total. You still need a saved card on your account, and you can apply more than one gift card to a single order.

• Grubhub gift cards are sold as digital eGifts and physical cards.
• They never expire, and several can be used on one order.
• A saved credit card is required on the account, even if the gift card covers the whole order.
• Some corporate Grubhub accounts cannot redeem gift cards.

Where to Buy a Grubhub Gift Card

Grubhub sells digital gift cards at grubhub.com/giftcards. You choose an amount, add a personal message, and send the card by email or print it at home, and you can schedule delivery for a specific date. Physical Grubhub cards are sold at retailers, and digital cards are also available from online gift card stores.

How to Redeem a Grubhub Gift Card

There are two ways to use a Grubhub gift card, and both draw on the same account balance.

• To add it to your account: sign in, open the account menu, select Gift Cards (called Redeem a gift card on the website), enter the code and confirm.
• To use it at checkout: add your food, go to checkout, select Add gift cards and promo codes, enter the code and select Apply.

Adding the card to your account first is the tidier option. The balance is then ready for any future order without digging out the code again.

Rules Worth Knowing

Grubhub requires a saved credit card on your account to place an order with a gift card, even when the gift card covers the full amount. If the gift card only covers part of the order, the rest is charged to that card. Gift cards may not be redeemable on certain corporate accounts, and a Grubhub gift card cannot be used on other delivery apps such as DoorDash. DoorDash has its own rules for gift cards.

Sending a Grubhub Gift Card as a Gift

Digital Grubhub gift cards arrive by email with instructions for the recipient. If the recipient has not accepted the card yet, you can resend it to a different email address through Grubhub's gift card self-service portal. That is useful if you typed the address wrong or the email landed in spam. To make it feel less like a voucher, pair it with a snack hamper from GourmetGiftBaskets.com.

Making Dinner the Gift

A Grubhub card works well for new parents, people recovering from surgery, students away from home, or anyone who is too busy to cook. The card never expires, so there is no pressure to use it quickly. For new parents, adding something practical from Momcozy, which makes baby care and nursing products, goes well with a few nights off cooking.
