Reasons for Failed Delivery of eGift Cards

eGift Cards are delivered via email. If you have confirmed the recipient's email address but the eGift Cards have not been viewed within a reasonable period after the requested delivery date, the following is a list of the most common reasons why delivery may have failed: 

1. Spam filter blocked email or routed it to a bulk/spam folder

2. Recipient's firewall blocked the email

3. Email inbox is over size limit

4. Invalid email address

If a spam filter is blocking Gift Card emails from getting to an inbox, the email options will need to be modified so that Gift Card emails are not considered spam.
