What a KFC gift card gets you
The balance covers the whole menu — buckets, the KFC Chicken Sandwich, Extra Crispy Tenders, bowls, pot pies, sides, and family meals — at participating locations, plus app and online orders for pickup or delivery. A digital card can be loaded into the KFC app, where ordering with it also feeds KFC Rewards. There are no activation fees, and the balance never erodes through dormancy charges the way a bank prepaid card can.
two formats:
- Physical card: Sold on third-party gift-card racks and at participating KFC locations. Loaded in whole-dollar amounts.
- E-gift card: Emailed within minutes, redeemable in store, in the app, or online. $25 to $100 via Dyme. Can be saved to the KFC app or your phone wallet.
Multiple gift cards can be applied to a single order at participating locations and in the app, with no published cap on how many.

Can I get a KFC gift card at a discount?
Yes, but not through Dyme. Dyme sells KFC 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:
- Warehouse clubs and grocery promos. Costco, Sam's Club, and supermarket gift-card racks periodically run multi-pack or bonus-card deals on KFC and its YUM! sibling brands. Stock rotates and isn't always available.
- Secondary marketplaces (Raise, CardCash). Resold KFC cards from third parties, usually a few percent below face value. Verify the balance before redeeming, since secondary sellers occasionally list partial balances.
- KFC bonus-card promotions. KFC runs occasional buy-more-get-a-bonus-card offers, common around the holidays. The bonus card adds value rather than discounting the cards you buy.
The bigger combined return comes from the rewards stack below: your credit card, KFC Rewards when you order in the app, 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 KFC 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
KFC Rewards
- Join cost: free
- Applies at: redemption
- Earning rate: points per dollar on qualifying app and online orders
- Reward threshold: points redeem for menu items at set tiers
KFC Rewards accrues when you order through the KFC app or website and pay with the gift card, not when you buy the gift card. Order through the app to capture points.
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
$50 KFC e-gift on Dyme, paid with Citi Double Cash, redeemed by a KFC Rewards member
- Citi Double Cash: $1 back (2% of $50)
- KFC Rewards at redemption: points toward a menu reward when you order in the app
- Dyme Miles on the purchase: 50 Miles (1 per dollar), or 250 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 kfc.com
- Go to kfc.com/gift-cards.
- Choose physical or e-gift, then pick the amount, a design, and an optional message.
- Add to cart and check out. Buying the card does not earn KFC Rewards; those accrue when you order with it in the app.
How to buy in store
Participating KFC locations sell gift cards at the counter. Tell the cashier the amount, pay with cash or card, and walk out with the card. Availability and loadable amounts vary by franchise location.
How to buy at Costco, Sam's Club, or a supermarket
Grocery and drugstore gift-card racks at Kroger, Safeway, Walgreens, and CVS carry KFC cards at face value, and Costco and Sam's Club occasionally run multi-packs at a discount. You pay no discount at the supermarket but earn the store's loyalty points and any fuel rewards that apply to gift-card purchases.
Designs and personalization
Physical cards: a standard KFC design with seasonal options around the holidays.
E-gift cards: several designs with a customizable recipient message.
There is no co-branded option for individual purchase. For bulk and corporate orders, see corporate ordering below.
Delivery and timing
- E-gift via Dyme: 1 to 60 minutes by email. Add to the KFC app or your phone wallet from the email.
- E-gift via kfc.com: 1 to 60 minutes by email.
- Physical via kfc.com: 5 to 10 business days standard shipping.
- Physical in store or at a retailer: Immediate — walk out with the card.
Dyme does not mail physical cards. If you need a card in hand, a store or retail aisle is the path.
Corporate and bulk buying
KFC offers bulk gift-card ordering through its parent company's gift-card program for employee rewards, incentives, and events, with volume options on larger orders. Contact the KFC gift-card team to set up a bulk order.
