What a PetSmart gift card gets you
Beyond the obvious PetSmart registers, the same card covers everything in the building, not just food and toys: in-store grooming at the salon, dog and cat boarding at PetsHotel, Doggie Day Camp, and PetSmart-hosted training classes. It also spends on PetSmart.com, where Autoship orders and same-day delivery accept gift-card balance at checkout. There are no activation or per-purchase fees, and the balance never erodes from dormancy charges.
two formats:
- Physical card: Mailed in a card sleeve. $10 to $500 per card via PetSmart.com.
- E-gift card: Emailed within minutes, redeemable online or shown on phone in store. $5 to $500 per card via PetSmart.com; $5 to $500 via Dyme. Can be added to Apple Wallet or Google Pay.
You can apply multiple PetSmart gift cards in a single transaction in store or online, with no documented cap on how many.

Can I get a PetSmart gift card at a discount?
Yes, but not through Dyme. Dyme sells PetSmart 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. Periodic multi-pack discounts on physical PetSmart cards — often a $100 face value for around $80. Supply rotates and isn't always in stock. Physical only, club membership required.
- Secondary marketplaces (Raise, CardCash). Resold 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.
- PetSmart direct promos. Occasional. PetSmart runs gift-with-purchase or bonus-card promotions during holidays, where buying a set amount in gift cards earns a smaller bonus card free.
The bigger combined return comes from the rewards stack below: your credit card, PetSmart Treats 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 PetSmart 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
PetSmart Treats Rewards
- Join cost: free
- Applies at: redemption
- Earning rate: 8 points per $1 on most purchases
- Reward threshold: 1,500 points = a $5 reward
Treats Rewards does not earn on the gift card purchase. It earns on the merchandise and services when you redeem, at the same rate as paying with cash or credit. Members also get a free birthday treat for their pet and member-only pricing.
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 PetSmart e-gift on Dyme, paid with Citi Double Cash, redeemed by a Treats Rewards member
- Citi Double Cash: $2 back (2% of $100)
- PetSmart Treats Rewards at redemption: 800 points toward the next 1,500-point $5 reward
- 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 PetSmart.com
- Go to petsmart.com and open the gift cards page.
- Choose physical or e-gift, then pick a design and the amount.
- Add to cart and check out. PetSmart does not run a member discount on gift cards, and Treats Rewards points do not accrue on gift-card purchases.
How to buy in store
Any PetSmart 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 $5 to $500. Cards bought in store work immediately for grooming, PetsHotel boarding, training, and merchandise.
How to buy at Costco, Sam's Club, or a supermarket
Costco and Sam's Club periodically run multi-pack PetSmart gift cards at a discount. Stock and pricing rotate. Supermarket gift-card racks at Kroger, Safeway, Albertsons, and Stop & Shop carry $25, $50, and $100 PetSmart cards at face value. You pay no discount but earn the supermarket's loyalty points and any fuel rewards that apply to gift-card purchases.
Designs and personalization
Physical cards: multiple designs in the PetSmart online catalog, including pet-themed and seasonal options for holidays and birthdays. A card sleeve and a personal message are available at checkout.
E-gift cards: multiple designs, customizable subject line, and a recipient message.
There is no co-branded option for individual purchase. For bulk and business 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.

Corporate and bulk buying
