- Swap cards work by taking you to a website hosted by one of the major gift card companies (i.e. giftcards.com [giftcards.com]); you then pick the brand or brands, plus amounts, that you want to redeem for, and those redemptions will result in actual gift cards from that merchant getting sent to your email.
- Electronic swap cards will have numbers and a PIN like most gift cards, but those numbers and PIN can't be redeemed at those merchants. You have to swap the card for one of the merchant brands first, which will produce merchant-specific gift cards that can be used at those merchants.
- Once you get the card swapped for actual merchant gift cards, they're still electronic-only, but you can use them both in-store or online. They'll usually come with a scannable barcode on the webpage where the gift card's number and PIN are given to you. Most merchants' gift card pages will outright include instructions for the cashier on how to enter them into the register alongside instructions for you on how to use them in-store.

Community Reviews
Staples is offering 15 percent off a wide mix of eGift cards, including standalone brands like Lowe's, Ulta Beauty, eBay, Chipotle, DoorDash, and BJ's, plus swap cards for retailers and travel brands such as IKEA, Macy's, REI, Southwest, and The Cheesecake Factory. The swap cards can be split across multiple brands and amounts, and the resulting merchant cards are sent by email for in store or online use. Lowe's cards reportedly arrive quickly, while eBay electronic cards now use a longer alphanumeric code that is harder to guess. Chipotle is out of stock, DoorDash pricing has been inconsistent in cart, and the promotion is not eligible for Easy Rewards points redemption.
Common Questions (5)
You redeem the swap card on a hosted gift-card site, choose one or more brands and amounts, and receive merchant-specific electronic gift cards by email. The swap-card number and PIN cannot be used directly at the listed merchants until they are converted, but the resulting cards can be used in-store or online and usually include a barcode and cashier instructions.
The $100 DoorDash card was reported as still showing full price with no discount applied in cart. The promotion appears to be inconsistent for that item, even though the deal is advertised as 15% off.
eBay electronic gift cards have reportedly shifted from 13-digit numeric codes with no PIN to 17-character alphanumeric codes, which makes brute-force guessing much harder. They should still be locked to your account as soon as possible.
Yes, the listed gift cards are 15% off in this promotion. The deal also includes a $500 Lowe's option that is expected to sell out quickly.
Yes. You can split a One4All balance across multiple brands, choose multiple cards from the same brand, and set specific amounts for each redemption instead of using the full $100 at once.
