If you're a frequent Postmates user wondering what to ask for for your next birthday or holiday occasion, good news — Postmates has gift cards! 

You can't buy them in stores, though — Postmates gift cards are only available for digital purchase through the Postmates website or app.

Postmates gift cards are a great gift because there are no additional fees and they never expire. 

When you add a Postmates gift card to your account it will automatically be set as your default method of payment, and will be used towards your purchases until the balance runs out. 

The only limitations are that gift cards can't be used to purchase alcohol, cover tips, or to buy other Postmates gift cards.

If you want to redeem a gift card on Postmates, here's how.
