Shopping with an E-Gift Card
Q: How do I use my Domestications E-Gift Card
for payment online?
A: To redeem online, shop at domestications.com and
then proceed to checkout. At the “Payment” page, enter the
19 digit E-Gift Card number and the 4-digit PIN number on your
E-Gift Card. You will also need to provide a credit card to
complete your order. Your Gift Card will always be debited first. Your credit
card will only be charged if the order total exceeds the amount on your E-Gift
Card.
Q: If my E-Gift Card has more than enough funds to pay for
my purchase, why must I also provide a credit card to complete my order?
A: Because we will continue to accept our old paper
gift certificates which require a credit card, at this time our system must
handle E-Gift Card transactions the same way. If you do not wish to provide a
credit card, you may place your order by calling 1-800-826-8240.
Q: How do I use my Domestications E-Gift Card
for payment on catalog and outlet store purchases?
A: To use your E-Gift Card for catalog
orders, just read the

Customer Service representative. To redeem at a Domestications outlet location,
just bring in your printed E-Gift Card and present it at time of
purchase.

Cards on a purchase.

Gift Certificate online, just enter the nine digit certificate number on the
payment page. To use for a catalog order, just read your certificate’s number
