How to Redeem a Grubhub Gift Card
Add it to your account on the web or in the app — and what to do if it won't apply
Grubhub gift card balance lives on your account and is spent automatically at checkout. Add the code once in the Gift Cards area, or drop it in at checkout — both paths are below.
Quick Answer: Redeeming Your Grubhub Gift Card
To redeem a Grubhub gift card, sign in at grubhub.com or in the Grubhub app, open your account menu, select Gift Cards, enter the code, and choose Add to my account. The balance lands on your Grubhub account immediately, never expires, and is applied automatically toward your next food order at checkout.
Two Ways to Add a Grubhub Gift Card
Grubhub keeps gift card balance on your account rather than on the card itself, so there is nothing to redeem on a separate site — you either store the code in your account once or paste it in while you are placing an order. Both routes draw from the same account balance and work on the website and in the app.
Add It to Your Account (Website or App)
Use this path when you want the balance banked and ready before you start ordering — it then pays for every future order until it runs out.
- Sign in to your account at grubhub.com or open the Grubhub app and tap your profile.
- Open the account or settings menu and select Gift Cards (labeled Redeem a gift card on the web).
- Enter the gift card code from your delivery email exactly as shown.
- Select Add to my account to bank the balance.
- Confirm the new balance appears in the Gift Cards area — it will draw down automatically on your next order.
Grubhub requires a saved credit or debit card on the account even when a gift card covers the whole order, so add a payment method before you check out.
Enter It at Checkout
Use this path if you skipped the account step and already have a cart ready to go — the code applies straight to the order in front of you.
- Build your order and proceed to the checkout screen.
- Select the Add gift cards and promo codes link.
- Enter the gift card code in the field and choose Apply.
- Confirm the discount appears on the order total, then place the order.
You can stack more than one eGift card on a single order; if the balance does not cover the full total, the remainder is charged to the card saved on your account.
Why Your Grubhub Gift Card Code Isn’t Working
Most Grubhub gift card problems are account-side, not a bad code. Match the symptom you are seeing to the fix below before reaching out for help.
Grubhub won’t let you place the order without a saved card
Grubhub requires a credit or debit card on the account to complete an order even when a gift card is the only money you intend to spend. Add a payment method under your account’s payment settings, then place the order — the gift card balance is still applied first and the saved card is only charged for any overflow.
The balance won’t cover the full order
Gift card balance has to cover food, delivery and service fees, tax, and tip combined. If the order total exceeds the balance, Grubhub charges the difference to your saved card; if no card is on file, the order is blocked. Add a card to cover the remainder, or trim the order so the balance is enough.
“Invalid code” or the code won’t apply
This is almost always a typo. Re-enter the code carefully — copy and paste it directly from your MyGiftCardSupply delivery email to avoid swapped characters or trailing spaces. If a clean paste still fails, confirm you are adding it under Gift Cards rather than the promo code field, which only accepts marketing offers.
You’re signed in to the wrong account, or you’re on Skip the Dishes
Gift card balance attaches to the exact Grubhub account it was added to, so check that you are signed in to the right one before assuming the balance is gone. A US Grubhub card also will not load on Skip the Dishes, Grubhub’s separate Canadian platform — that ordering app runs its own balance and its own gift cards.
Where to Buy a Grubhub Gift Card Online
People come back for another Grubhub gift card for a few reasons: the first balance ran out after a string of orders, they want to gift food delivery to someone, or an overseas payment card was declined at Grubhub checkout. A gift card sidesteps all three by funding the account directly.
Buy a Grubhub gift card online from MyGiftCardSupply and the code is delivered by email within minutes, so you can add it to your Grubhub account and order the same day. Grubhub gift cards never expire, which means a card you buy now keeps its value until you are ready to use it.
