Challenging and unprecedented times like these call for innovation, freedom and ease. That’s why we created three specialty eGifter Choice Cards — so that our shopping and gifting community can enjoy a wide selection of gift cards within the category they prefer. As a mechanism to help make time at home more comfortable during the COVID-19 pandemic, we’ve streamlined the process of choosing and sending gift cards in ways that matter today. To purchase gift cards for movies and content, games or food services, now you can simply buy a SINGLE card in one of three categories: The eGifter Streaming, Gaming or Takeout Choice Cards. At checkout, apply the balance to any one of the gift cards shown below. No one in your household will run out of content to watch, games to play or food and meals to takeout.

It’s our honor, commitment and responsibility to continue inventing secure, special and pragmatic ways to serve you and your family through gift card solutions.

Please share your gift card experiences and stories with us at support.egifter.com.

The eGifter Takeout Choice Card

The eGifter Streaming Choice Card

The eGifter Gaming Choice Card

At a time like this when life is anything but normal, the tried and true solutions we enjoyed in the past are taking on a new meaning and importance. For decades, Americans have relied on takeout dinners, food delivery service and door to door grocery services. It’s no surprise that today, gift cards for those services are dramatically on the rise as people heed health and safety instructions. We have quickly diverted to protective measures like social distancing, home working, home schooling and staying connected to friends and family through technology. The spike in Doordash gift cards purchased at eGifter.com is a clear illustration of the new normal – delivery services are going to grow. Gift cards do not require any physical touch that could put a gift giver or recipient in harm’s way, as they can be sent from the comfort of home or while on the go — and received the same way — by mobile phone, desktop or paper. We at eGifter are fortunate to be in a business that can contribute to people across the country, helping them safely shop for food, meals and groceries for themselves and their loved ones, 24 x 7.

Businesses, Families and Neighbors are Sending DoorDash Gift Cards 

• We are seeing multitudes of companies purchasing DoorDash gift cards for workers and their families
• Family members located too far away to help are texting DoorDash gift cards to loved ones to make sure that a healthy, hot meal is on the table 
• Local citizens are gathering donations to purchase DoorDash egiftcards to feed first responders too busy to prepare a meal during their mega long shifts – delivery service at its best

We’re Also Seeing….

• Meal Delivery Services Like DoorDash staffing up with new drivers, establishing new best practices for food delivery to reduce in person contact, and announcing commission relief and marketing support for new and existing DoorDash partner restaurants
• Tenants in apartment buildings circulating checklists under doors and collecting them daily so that healthy, capable tenants can field their requests and provide the needed help
• Local business leaders stepping up, like our very own Theresa Sullivan, who has been gathering donations to purchase meals for healthcare workers at Huntington Hospital. The Huntington Hospital Meals Facebook Group is a model of citizens coming together to help one another. Not just that, they are keeping local restaurants going through their delivery service. Our local economy is getting a boost because of the work that Theresa is doing, with the help of the generous local community here in Suffolk County, Long Island.

Here’s a warm shout out to the finest, bravest, strongest and all the superheroes stepping forward to help others in cities and suburbs around the nation. If you’re among the majority that’s staying home, you’re a superhero too! Thanks for keeping yourself and others safe. Who are you staying home for? imstayinghomefor.

We find ourselves in an unprecedented situation. No doubt, we will rise to the occasion. Together.

How Gift Cards Can Help Unlock the Human Spirit

As the COVID-19 virus pandemic makes its way through our world both literally and figuratively, the eGifter team is hard at work finding ways to be of service. Please check back regularly for news and updates as we find and share ways to help people stick together through thick and thin. While some may argue that gift cards can’t save the world, we believe they can play an important role in our connected lives physically, socially and emotionally. It is in crises like these that the human spirit is truly tested and, in in our experience, displayed.

The eGifter team is hunkered down now, developing and delivering innovative ideas, products and services rooted in merchant and retail gift cards. Because the items sold at these establishments contribute to health, well-being, safety and community connectedness, we’ll have a lot to say and share.  Over the coming weeks and beyond, eGifter’s thought leadership helps people in real ways, both tangible and inspirational.

Here is a preview of some of the stories and posts ahead, where we will:

• Suggest ways to stay engaged in the face of social distancing
• Share ideas to help friends and family weather this storm 
• Propose specific items and strategies for the whole family, so that seniors, parents and children feel cared for and protected 
• Post updates about our efforts to support humanitarian and charitable organizations, public and private, cross-denominational, for all
• Offer special discounts and packages for essentials like safety, health, food, shelter
• Take some time for laughter, entertainment and levity such that the lighter side of life shines through

We thank you for reading and sharing the eGifter Human Spirit Series. Gift cards sold at the eGifter marketplace bundle goodness into each delivery. It’s our sincere hope and commitment to surface strategies and approaches that not only help you pragmatically, but can be told as stories that illustrate the heart and resilience of people across the land.

Please share your uplifting stories with us at support.egifter.com.

Together, we can make it. The eGifter family is right with you.
