What a Yankee Candle gift card gets you
Beyond the signature jar candles, the card spends on the full home-fragrance range — wax melts, tumblers, car fresheners, reed diffusers, electric warmers, and the seasonal and limited-edition scent collections that rotate through the year. It works in the retail stores, through the mail-order catalog, and online, with no activation or per-purchase fees and no dormancy charges eating the balance.
two formats:
- Physical card: Mailed in a card carrier. $25 to $250 per card via yankeecandle.com.
- E-gift card: Emailed within minutes, redeemable online or shown in store. $25 to $250 via yankeecandle.com and via Dyme. Can be added to Apple Wallet or Google Pay.
You can use more than one Yankee Candle gift card on a single purchase in store or online, and any leftover balance stays on the card.

Can I get a Yankee Candle gift card at a discount?
Yes, but not through Dyme. Dyme sells Yankee Candle 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:
- Supermarket and pharmacy gift-card promos. Chains such as Kroger, Safeway, and CVS periodically run bonus-points or "$10 off a $100 third-party card" offers that include Yankee Candle physical cards. Stock and promos rotate by region.
- Secondary marketplaces (Raise, CardCash). Resold Yankee Candle gift cards, typically a few percent below face value. Verify the balance before redeeming, since secondary sellers occasionally list cards with partial balances.
- Yankee Candle sale events. Frequent storewide sales — semi-annual, Black Friday, and Labor Day — discount the candles themselves, not the gift cards. Buying a card and spending it during a sale stretches it furthest.
The bigger combined return comes from the rewards stack below: your credit card, Yankee Candle 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 Yankee Candle 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
Yankee Candle Rewards
- Join cost: free
- Applies at: redemption
- Earning rate: Points on qualifying purchases in store and online
- Reward threshold: Points convert to reward dollars off a future purchase
Yankee Candle Rewards earns on the merchandise when you redeem the gift card, not on buying the card itself. Members also get birthday perks and member-only sale access.
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 Yankee Candle e-gift on Dyme, paid with Citi Double Cash, redeemed by a Rewards member

- Yankee Candle Rewards at redemption: Points on the $100 order toward the next reward dollars
- Dyme Miles on the purchase: 100 Miles (1 per dollar), or 500 on a special offer (5 per dollar)
