When you receive a gift card, there are often stipulations on how it can be used. Sometimes, the terms of the card require that it be used within a specific timeframe. What happens to the funds if you don't use the card by the expiration date? In some cases, the money may be forfeited, but in other instances, you may be able to transfer the card's balance to a new card. Here's what you need to know about using a Wayfair gift card and how to make the transfers.

Transferring a Wayfair Gift Card

Card transfers are a way to share the balance of a gift card with someone else. If you have a Wayfair gift card that you would like to transfer to another account, there are a few steps that you need to take. First, you will need to check the terms and conditions of the card to see if there are any restrictions on transferring the balance. If there are no restrictions, you can follow these steps:

  1. Log into your Wayfair account.

  2. Click on the "Account" tab.

  3. Select the "Gift Cards" option.

  4. Enter the 16-digit card number and 4-digit PIN.

  5. Click on the "Transfer Balance" button.

  6. Enter the amount that you want to transfer.

  7. Select the "Transfer To" option and choose the account to which you want to transfer the funds.

  8. Click on the "Submit" button.

If you have questions about transferring a Wayfair gift card, you can contact customer service for assistance. The transfer process usually takes hours to a few days to complete. Once the funds have been transferred, you can use the gift card's balance on the new account.

The same rules of redeeming apply to the account receiving the card funds. Any remaining balance on the card will be forfeited if the account doesn't redeem the funds before the expiration date.

Why Is My Transfer Not Going Through?

There are a few reasons why your transfer might not be going through. The first thing you should check is the balance of the gift card. The transfer will not go through if insufficient funds are on the card. You can check the balance of your card by logging into your Wayfair account and selecting the "Gift Cards" option. Reach out to customer support when a problem emerges in the process.

Another reason why your transfer might not be going through is if you are trying to transfer the funds to an account that is not eligible. For example, some gift cards can only be transferable to other Wayfair accounts. The transfer will not go through if you are trying to transfer the funds to a different type of account.

Finally, the transfer will not go through if you are trying to transfer the funds to an account that has already reached the limit for gift card balances. Each Wayfair account is only allowed to have a certain amount of gift card balance. If you try to transfer more than the limit, the transfer will not go through. If you still have trouble transferring, contact Wayfair customer service for assistance.
