How to buy gift cards online in South Africa

Why digital gift cards

A digital gift card is delivered as a voucher code, so there's nothing to post and nothing to lose. You can buy one for yourself — many people use them for online shopping or gaming — or send the code to someone as a gift.

Prices start at R50 and go up to R1000, so they work as small treats or proper presents.

What you can buy on RechargeAlways

We stock two kinds of gift cards: retail brands for everyday shopping and entertainment, and gaming brands for the gamers in your life. Every brand page shows the available voucher values before you buy.

Browse the full list on our Gift cards page — each card shows its price range, and you choose the value that suits you.

Step by step

1. Open the Gift cards page and pick a brand.

2. Choose your voucher value.

3. Sign in (or create a free account) and pay by card, instant EFT or Mobicred.

4. Your voucher code is delivered to your order page, and you get a receipt for your records.

What to check before you pay

Check that the brand works in the country where it will be used — a card bought for use in South Africa can't be redeemed on a different country's store.

Keep your voucher code safe once it's delivered. Treat it like cash: anyone who has the code can spend it. If anything goes wrong with your order, open a support ticket with your order reference and we'll help.
