What a Grubhub gift card gets you
A Grubhub gift card doesn't just cover food — it applies to the full order total, including delivery fees, service fees, and the tip, so the recipient can order without reaching for another card. It works across Grubhub and Seamless (the same account and balance carry over), redeems on the app and the website, and stacks with a Grubhub+ membership for free delivery on top. The balance never expires and there are no activation or dormancy fees.
two formats:
- Physical card: Mailed in a card carrier. Common at grocery and big-box gift-card racks in $15, $25, $50, and $100 amounts.
- E-gift card: Emailed within minutes, redeemed by adding the code to a Grubhub account. $5 to $500 per card via Dyme; up to $500 via grubhub.com.
You can load more than one gift card to a single Grubhub account, and the balances pool together. The account draws down the gift-card balance first, then charges your saved payment method for any remainder.

Can I get a Grubhub gift card at a discount?
Yes, but not through Dyme. Dyme sells Grubhub 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, in store or online. Costco periodically runs discounted Grubhub gift-card multi-packs (for example, a set of cards for a few percent under face). Stock rotates and isn't always listed. Membership required.
- Secondary marketplaces (Raise, CardCash). Resold Grubhub cards from third parties, typically a few percent below face value. Verify the balance before you add the code, since secondary sellers occasionally list cards with partial balances.
- Grubhub promo codes and Grubhub+ offers. Grubhub regularly runs first-order and account-level promo codes, plus free-delivery and perk offers through Grubhub+. These apply to orders, not to gift-card purchases, but they lower what the recipient ultimately spends.
The bigger combined return comes from the rewards stack below: your credit card, Grubhub+ perks at redemption, and Dyme Miles on the purchase. Most buyers leave that money on the table.
How to stack rewards
Three rewards layers fire on a single Grubhub 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, so a dining or delivery multiplier usually won't apply to the gift-card purchase itself.
- 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. The 4x dining multiplier does not apply
- Chase Sapphire Preferred: falls back to 1x on gift cards. 3x dining and the Grubhub+ benefit do not apply
Grubhub+
- Join cost: $9.99/month (free trial often available; included with some Amazon Prime accounts)
- Applies at: redemption
- Earning rate: Unlimited free delivery on eligible orders over the minimum, plus member-only perks and credits
- Reward threshold: Free delivery applies per qualifying order; no points to accumulate
Grubhub+ is a delivery-savings membership, not a points program. It earns nothing on the gift-card purchase; it lowers fees when the recipient redeems the balance on orders.
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 Grubhub e-gift on Dyme, paid with Citi Double Cash, redeemed by a Grubhub+ member
- Citi Double Cash: $2 back (2% of $100)
- Grubhub+ at redemption: Free delivery and member perks on the orders the balance covers
- 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 grubhub.com
- Go to grubhub.com/gift-cards.
- Choose physical or e-gift, then pick the amount and a design.
- Add to cart and check out. Grubhub does not run a member discount on gift cards, and the purchase does not earn Grubhub+ perks.
How to buy in store
Grubhub doesn't operate its own stores, but physical Grubhub gift cards hang on third-party racks at major grocery and big-box retailers. Pick the amount you want, pay at the register with cash, credit, or debit, and the card activates at checkout. Load amounts are typically $15, $25, $50, and $100.
How to buy at Costco, Sam's Club, or a supermarket
Costco periodically runs discounted Grubhub gift-card multi-packs in warehouse and online; stock and pricing rotate. Supermarket and big-box gift-card racks at Kroger, Safeway, Albertsons, Target, and Stop & Shop carry Grubhub cards 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 small set of standard and seasonal designs in the Grubhub online catalog, including holiday and thank-you options. A card carrier and a printed message are available at checkout.
E-gift cards: multiple digital designs with a customizable subject line and recipient message.
There is no co-branded or individually customizable card art. For bulk and branded orders, see corporate ordering below.
Delivery and timing
- E-gift via Dyme: 1 to 60 minutes by email. The recipient adds the code to a Grubhub or Seamless account.
- E-gift via grubhub.com: 1 to 60 minutes by email.
- Physical via grubhub.com: 5 to 7 business days standard. Expedited options available at checkout.
- Physical at a retailer: Immediate — walk out with the card.
Dyme does not mail physical cards. If you need a card in hand, grubhub.com or a retail rack is the path.
Corporate and bulk buying
Grubhub runs a corporate program for businesses, covering bulk gift cards, employee meal credits, and managed team ordering with custom budgets and branded delivery. Volume orders qualify for invoicing and dedicated support. Contact the Grubhub Corporate team to set up an account.
Frequently asked questions
Can I use a Grubhub gift card on Seamless?＋
Yes. Grubhub and Seamless share the same platform and account system, so a Grubhub gift card balance is available on both. Add the code once and the balance applies wherever you order.
What denominations are available?＋
E-gift: $5 to $500 through grubhub.com, or $5 to $500 through Dyme. Physical cards on retail racks are typically $15, $25, $50, and $100.
Do Grubhub gift cards expire?＋
No. Grubhub gift card balances do not expire and carry no activation or dormancy fees. The full value stays on the account until it's spent.
Does a Grubhub gift card cover delivery fees and tips?＋
Yes. The balance applies to the entire order total, including delivery fees, service fees, taxes, and the tip — not just the food subtotal.
Can I check my Grubhub gift card balance?＋
Yes. Add the card to your Grubhub account and the balance shows in the account's payment or gift-card section. You can also check it on the Grubhub gift-card balance page using the card number and PIN.
Can I use multiple Grubhub gift cards on one account?＋
Yes. You can load several gift cards to a single account and the balances pool. Orders draw from the gift-card balance first, then charge your saved payment method for any remainder.
Can I get a refund on a Grubhub gift card?＋
No. Grubhub gift cards are non-refundable once purchased. The balance can be applied to any order or kept on the account indefinitely, but it can't be cashed out except where state law requires.
Can I sell a Grubhub gift card I won't use?＋
Yes. Secondary marketplaces like Raise and CardCash buy unwanted gift cards, paying a percentage of face value based on demand. List with the card number and balance; the marketplace verifies and pays out by ACH or check.
Does Grubhub offer corporate or bulk gift cards?＋
Yes. The Grubhub Corporate program handles bulk gift cards, employee meal credits, and managed team ordering with invoicing and dedicated support. Contact the corporate team to set up an account.
Are e-gift cards delivered instantly?＋
Usually within 1 to 60 minutes. Gmail's Promotions filter occasionally delays delivery — check there if you don't see it arrive.
Do I need a Grubhub+ membership to use a gift card?＋
No. A gift card works on any Grubhub account. Grubhub+ is a separate paid membership that adds free delivery and perks; it lowers fees on orders but isn't required to redeem a gift card.
