What an Aerie gift card gets you
One card covers the entire American Eagle Outfitters family: Aerie, OFFLINE by Aerie, American Eagle, and Todd Snyder, both in store and online at aerie.com and ae.com. It funds bras, undies, swim, leggings, apparel, and accessories alike. Unlike a bank-issued Visa or Mastercard gift card, there are no activation fees, no purchase fees, and no dormancy charges that quietly drain the balance.
two formats:
- Physical card: Mailed in a gift sleeve. $10 to $500 per card via aerie.com or ae.com.
- E-gift card: Emailed within minutes, redeemable online or shown on phone in store. $10 to $500 per card via aerie.com; $25 to $200 via Dyme. Can be added to Apple Wallet or Google Pay.
You can apply multiple gift cards in a single transaction in store or online, with no documented cap on how many you stack.

Can I get a Aerie gift card at a discount?
Yes, but not through Dyme. Dyme sells Aerie e-gift cards at face value; the value-add is Dyme Miles, paperless delivery, and supporting renewable energy projects, not a face-value discount. The discount channels are:
- Secondary marketplaces (Raise, CardCash). Resold American Eagle and Aerie 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.
- AEO promotional bonus-card events. American Eagle and Aerie periodically run holiday promotions that add a bonus card when you buy a gift card — for example a $20 bonus on a $100 purchase. The bonus card usually has redemption-window restrictions.
- Big-box and warehouse multi-packs. When AEO gift cards appear in warehouse-club or big-box multi-packs, the bundle can price slightly below combined face value. Stock rotates and isn't always available.
The bigger combined return comes from the rewards stack below: your credit card, AEO Real Rewards 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 Aerie 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
AEO Real Rewards
- Join cost: free
- Applies at: redemption
- Earning rate: 1 point per $1 spent across Aerie and American Eagle
- Reward threshold: Points convert to Real Rewards coupons issued in $5 increments
Real Rewards does not earn on the gift card purchase. It earns on the merchandise when you redeem, at the same rate as paying with cash or credit. Real Insider tiers add birthday gifts and free shipping perks.
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 Aerie e-gift on Dyme, paid with Citi Double Cash, redeemed by a Real Rewards member
- Citi Double Cash: $2 back (2% of $100)
- AEO Real Rewards at redemption: 100 points toward the next Real Rewards coupon
- 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 on aerie.com
- Go to aerie.com and open the Gift Cards page (shared with American Eagle).
- Choose physical or e-gift, then pick a design and the amount.
- Add to bag and check out. AEO does not run a member discount on gift cards, and Real Rewards points do not accrue on gift-card purchases.
How to buy in store
Any Aerie, OFFLINE by Aerie, or American Eagle register sells gift cards. Tell the associate the amount you want, pay with cash, credit, or another gift card, and walk out with the card. You can load any whole-dollar amount from $10 to $500.
How to buy at Costco, Sam's Club, or a supermarket
American Eagle and Aerie gift cards appear on third-party gift-card racks at some supermarkets and big-box stores, including Kroger, Safeway, and similar chains, in $25, $50, and $100 denominations. You pay face value but earn the retailer's loyalty points and any fuel rewards that apply to gift-card purchases. Stock rotates, so call ahead if you need one in hand.
Designs and personalization
Physical cards: multiple designs in the AEO online catalog, including seasonal options for the holidays, Valentine's Day, birthdays, and graduation. A gift sleeve and a printed message are available at checkout.
E-gift cards: multiple designs with a customizable subject line and a recipient message.
There is no co-branded option for individual purchase. For bulk orders, see corporate ordering below.
Delivery and timing
- E-gift via Dyme: 1 to 60 minutes by email. Add to Apple Wallet or Google Pay directly from the email.

- Physical via aerie.com: 5 to 10 business days standard. Expedited options available at checkout.

Corporate and bulk buying
