What a Chico's gift card gets you
Beyond Chico's boutiques, the same card spends across the Chico's FAS family — White House Black Market and Soma — both online and in store, so a single card covers workwear, dresses, and intimates in one wardrobe. Unlike a bank-issued Visa or Mastercard gift card, there are no activation or per-purchase fees, and the balance is never reduced by dormancy charges.
two formats:
- Physical card: Mailed in a card sleeve. $25 to $500 per card via chicos.com.
- E-gift card: Emailed within minutes, redeemable online or shown on phone in store. $10 to $500 per card via Dyme; preset amounts of $25, $50, $75, $100, $150, and $200. Can be added to Apple Wallet or Google Pay.
You can apply more than one gift card in a single transaction in store or online; Chico's does not publish a cap on how many cards you can combine.

Can I get a Chico's gift card at a discount?
Yes, but not through Dyme. Dyme sells Chico's 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 Chico's 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.
- Chico's direct promotions. Chico's periodically runs gift-card bonus events — buy a set amount, get a bonus card — usually around the holidays. These appear on chicos.com and to email subscribers.
- Chico's Rewards member offers. Members occasionally receive birthday rewards and tiered perks that effectively lower the cost of merchandise the card later buys, though not the gift card itself.
The bigger combined return comes from the rewards stack below: your credit card, Chico's 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 Chico's 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
Chico's Rewards
- Join cost: free
- Applies at: redemption
- Earning rate: 1 point per $1 on merchandise
- Reward threshold: points convert to reward dollars by membership tier
Chico's 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, and tier perks like free shipping and birthday rewards apply across Chico's, White House Black Market, and Soma.
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 Chico's e-gift on Dyme, paid with Citi Double Cash, redeemed by a Chico's Rewards member
- Citi Double Cash: $2 back (2% of $100)
- Chico's Rewards at redemption: 100 points toward your next reward dollars
- 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.
