What a Total Wine gift card gets you
The card reaches well past wine: more than 8,000 wines, 4,500 spirits, and 2,500 beers, plus glassware, mixers, cigars, and in-store tastings and classes where offered. It spends in store and, in states that permit it, on totalwine.com. There is no activation fee and no dormancy charge on the balance.
two formats:
- Physical card: Sold at store registers and shippable from totalwine.com. Common load range $25 to $500.
- E-gift card: Emailed within minutes, redeemable in store or online where allowed. $25 to $200 via Dyme.
More than one gift card can be applied to a single purchase in store or online; the register draws down each balance in turn.

Can I get a Total Wine gift card at a discount?
Yes, but not through Dyme. Dyme sells Total Wine e-gift cards at face value; the value-add is Dyme Miles and instant paperless delivery. The discount channels are:
- Secondary marketplaces (Raise, CardCash). Resold Total Wine cards from third parties, typically a few percent below face value when in stock. Verify the balance before redeeming, since secondary sellers occasionally list cards with partial balances.
- Total Wine everyday-low and case pricing. Total Wine's mixed-case discounts, weekly deals, and clearance pricing let a gift card stretch further against the lowered shelf prices, especially when buying by the case.
- Coupons and app offers. Total Wine's app and email offers add coupons on select bottles that lower the item cost the card has to cover, where state law allows.
The bigger combined return comes from the rewards stack below: your credit card, &MORE Rewards at redemption, and Dyme Miles on the purchase.
How to stack rewards
Three rewards programs fire on a single Total Wine 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
Total Wine &MORE Rewards
- Join cost: free
- Applies at: redemption
- Earning rate: points on qualifying purchases where the program operates
- Reward threshold: points convert to rewards dollars off a future purchase
&MORE Rewards does not earn on the gift card purchase itself. It earns on the merchandise when the recipient redeems, and the program operates only in states where Total Wine's rewards program is available.
Dyme Miles
- Base rate: 1 Mile for every dollar
- Special rate: 5 Miles per dollar
- Expiration: never
- Blackouts: none
