What an Advance Auto Parts gift card gets you
Beyond the obvious oil, filters, and wiper blades, the same card covers batteries (with free in-store testing and installation on most), brake parts, fluids, car-care chemicals, tools, and accessories — and it spends both in store and at shop.advanceautoparts.com. Advance also runs the CARQUEST and Worldpac banners; the standard gift card is redeemable at Advance Auto Parts and CARQUEST stores, not at independent jobber locations. The card has no activation or per-purchase fee and the balance never erodes from dormancy charges.
two formats:
- Physical card: Sold at Advance Auto Parts stores and on grocery and warehouse-club gift-card racks. $5 to $500 per card.
- E-gift card: Emailed within minutes, redeemable in store by showing the code or online at checkout. $5 to $500 via Dyme; presets of $25, $50, $75, $100, $150, and $200.
You can apply more than one gift card to a single order in store or online. Combine a gift card with Speed Perks rewards and a coupon in the same transaction.

Can I get a Advance Auto Parts gift card at a discount?
Yes, but not through Dyme. Dyme sells Advance Auto Parts e-gift cards at face value; the value-add is Dyme Miles and instant paperless delivery, not a face-value discount. The discount channels are:
- Costco or Sam's Club, in store. Warehouse clubs periodically run discounted multi-packs of auto-parts and fuel gift cards. Stock rotates and isn't always available. Physical only, club membership required.
- Secondary marketplaces (Raise, CardCash). Resold gift cards from third parties, typically a few percent below face value. Verify the balance before redeeming, since secondary sellers occasionally list cards with partial balances.
- Advance Auto Parts coupons and promo codes. Advance frequently runs sitewide coupon codes (often 20% off a qualifying order). These apply to a purchase, not to buying the gift card itself, so you stack the coupon when you spend the card.
The bigger combined return comes from the rewards stack below: your credit card, Speed Perks at redemption, and Dyme Miles on the purchase. Most buyers leave that money on the table.
How to stack rewards
Three rewards programs fire on a single Advance Auto Parts gift card purchase through Dyme.
Credit-card rewards
Your credit card earns rewards on the Dyme purchase.
Gift-card resellers typically code as MCC 5947; many cards exclude this MCC from category bonuses.
- Capital One Venture X: 2x miles on essentially every purchase, including gift cards
- Citi Double Cash: 2% back on everything (1% when you buy + 1% when you pay)
- Amex Gold: falls back to 1x on gift cards. 4x dining and 4x groceries do not apply
- Chase Sapphire Preferred: falls back to 1x on gift cards. 3x dining and 2x travel do not apply
Speed Perks
- Join cost: free
- Applies at: redemption
- Earning rate: 1 point per $1 on qualifying merchandise
- Reward threshold: Reach Elite status at $250 in annual spend; points convert to in-store and online discount rewards
Speed Perks does not earn on the gift card purchase. It earns on the merchandise when you redeem, the same as paying with cash or credit. Members also get bonus offers and a birthday reward.
Dyme Miles
- Base rate: 1 Mile for every dollar
- Special rate: 5 Miles per dollar
- Expiration: never
- Blackouts: none
- Redeem on: over 2 million hotels and 600 airline partners
$100 Advance Auto Parts e-gift on Dyme, paid with Citi Double Cash, redeemed by a Speed Perks member
- Citi Double Cash: $2 back (2% of $100)
- Speed Perks at redemption: 100 points toward your next discount reward and annual status spend
- Dyme Miles on the purchase: 100 Miles (1 per dollar), or 500 on a special offer (5 per dollar)
Illustrative only. Card rates, brand-program terms, and Dyme Miles offers change and vary by member; figures above are examples, not a guarantee of value.

How to buy at Costco, Sam's Club, or a supermarket
Costco and Sam's Club periodically run multi-pack Advance Auto Parts or auto-care gift cards at a discount. Stock and pricing rotate. Supermarket gift-card racks at Kroger, Safeway, Albertsons, and Stop & Shop carry $25, $50, and $100 cards at face value. You pay no discount but earn the supermarket's loyalty points and any fuel rewards that apply to gift-card purchases.
Designs and personalization
