What a Cinnabon gift card gets you
The Cinnabon card is part of GoTo Foods' shared "Mix It Up" program, so the same balance spends across more than 3,800 locations of seven sibling chains: Cinnabon, Auntie Anne's, Carvel, Jamba, McAlister's Deli, Moe's Southwest Grill, and Schlotzsky's. It covers everything on the menu — Classic Rolls, MiniBon, BonBites, churros, cold brew, and the soft-serve and smoothie lines at the sister brands. There are no activation or per-use fees, and the balance never drops from a dormancy charge.
two formats:
- Physical card: Sold at participating bakeries and through the GoTo Foods gift-card site. $5 to $200 per card.
- E-gift card: Emailed within minutes, shown on your phone at the counter or entered for online and app orders. $25 to $200 via Dyme; $5 to $200 via the brand site. Can be added to Apple Wallet or Google Pay.
You can apply more than one card in a single in-store transaction. For mobile-app orders, only one card loads to the account at a time, so combine balances before a large order.

Can I get a Cinnabon gift card at a discount?
Yes, but not through Dyme. Dyme sells Cinnabon 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. Multi-brand restaurant gift-card packs that include GoTo Foods brands show up periodically at a few percent off face. Stock rotates and isn't always available. Physical only, club membership required.
- Secondary marketplaces (Raise, CardCash). Resold cards from third parties, usually a small percentage below face value. Confirm the balance before you redeem, since secondary sellers occasionally list cards with partial balances.
- Brand and email-club promotions. Cinnabon and its sibling brands run periodic bonus-card promotions, where a gift-card purchase over a threshold comes with an extra bonus card. These are seasonal, often around the holidays.
The bigger combined return comes from the rewards stack below: your credit card and Dyme Miles on the purchase. Most buyers leave that money on the table.
How to stack rewards
Two rewards programs fire on a single Cinnabon gift card purchase through Dyme.
Credit-card rewards
Your credit card earns rewards on the Dyme purchase.

- 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 does not apply
Dyme Miles
- Base rate: 1 Mile for every dollar
- Special rate: 5 Miles per dollar

How to buy on the GoTo Foods gift-card site
- Go to the GoTo Foods / Cinnabon gift-card site.
- Choose physical or e-gift, then pick a design and the amount, from $5 to $200.
- Add to cart and check out. The card works across all seven GoTo Foods brands, not only Cinnabon.
How to buy in store
Most Cinnabon bakeries sell physical gift cards at the counter. Tell the team member the amount you want and pay with cash or a card. Availability and loadable amounts vary by location, since many bakeries sit inside malls, airports, and travel plazas operated by franchisees. The same card is honored at the sibling GoTo Foods brands.
How to buy at Costco, Sam's Club, or a supermarket
Costco and Sam's Club periodically carry multi-brand restaurant gift-card packs that include GoTo Foods brands at a discount; stock and pricing rotate. Supermarket gift-card racks at Kroger, Safeway, and similar chains carry GoTo Foods or Cinnabon cards in $25 and $50 amounts at face value. You pay no discount but earn the retailer's loyalty points and any fuel rewards that apply to gift-card purchases.
Designs and personalization
Physical cards: a handful of designs in the GoTo Foods catalog, including seasonal options around the winter holidays. A personal message can be added at checkout.
E-gift cards: a few digital designs with a customizable recipient message.
There is no co-branded or custom-art 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.
- E-gift via the brand site: 1 to 60 minutes by email.
- Physical via the brand site: 5 to 10 business days standard.
- Physical in store or at a retailer: Immediate — walk out with the card.
Dyme does not mail physical cards. If you need a physical card in hand, the brand site or a retail aisle is the path.
Corporate and bulk buying
GoTo Foods runs a corporate and bulk gift-card program for businesses buying in volume, with custom amounts and bulk invoicing across all seven brands. It's a fit for employee rewards, client gifts, and incentive programs. Contact the GoTo Foods gift-card team to start a bulk order.
