Beware of sending gift cards physically. In April I sent 4 to different recipients. One to a lady who needed food and essentials. She called me one day and knowing her, I was a little surprised that she didn’t mention it and I certainly wasn’t looking for thanks. She never received it. I then checked on the others. They didn’t get theirs either. One was sent 3 weeks prior. It was a 3 month hassle to get my money back and hours on the phone. Beware!

Thanks, i would be giving the card to them personally- (They can use it at places like walmart.com website itself,, or amazon or whatever- but weirdly they can’t use it with apps i found out- Credit card only- The people don’t like having to use their credit cards online for things if they can help it- but i don’t know of any other way for them- lots of thigns they eat can’t be purchased from the walmart online site which includes delivery, only through the app can they mostly get things that are perishable - the walmart site online basically only send out non perishable items like meat, fruit etc-

just looking for good solution so they don’t have to use credit cards if possible- or if so, deleting the cards after a purchase- then just reenter it next time, delete- rinse repeat- but not sure if that will protect their card better or not-
