How to Use Your Krispy Kreme Gift Card
Krispy Kreme gift cards work across multiple channels — in store, online, and through the app. Here is exactly how to use yours in each situation.
Using In Store
Present your physical or digital gift card at the register when paying. The cashier will swipe or scan it and deduct your purchase amount from your balance. Works at all standalone Krispy Kreme locations including drive-thru.
Using Online
At checkout on KrispyKreme.com, select Gift Card as your payment method. Enter your card number and PIN. Your balance is applied automatically. Any remaining amount can be paid with another method.
Using on the App
Add your gift card to the Krispy Kreme app under Payment Methods. When ordering for pickup or delivery, select your gift card at checkout. Your balance updates in real time after each use.
Giving as a Gift
Digital gift cards can be sent directly via email or the app. Physical cards make a great gift paired with a dozen from the full doughnuts menu — especially when the Hot Light is on.

Lost or Stolen Gift Card
If your Krispy Kreme gift card is lost or stolen, act quickly. Krispy Kreme treats gift cards like cash — they are generally not responsible for lost or stolen cards without proof of purchase, but customer service may be able to help if you have your original receipt or card registration details.
Contact Customer Service
Call the number on the back of your card or reach out via the Krispy Kreme website contact form as soon as possible.
Have Your Receipt Ready
If you have your original purchase receipt showing the card number, customer service may be able to freeze the card and transfer the remaining balance.
Register Cards in Advance
The best protection is to add your gift card to the Krispy Kreme app before it is lost. Registered cards have better recovery options.
Gift Card vs Krispy Kreme Rewards
Krispy Kreme gift cards and the Krispy Kreme Rewards program are two separate systems, but they work best together. Here is how they compare.
| Feature | Gift Card | Rewards Program |
|---|---|---|
| Cost to Join | Purchase required | Free to join |
| Earn Points | ❌ No points earned | ✅ Yes — on every purchase |
| Free Donut on Birthday | ❌ No | ✅ Yes |
| Hot Light Notifications | ❌ No | ✅ Yes |
| Use for Payment | ✅ Yes | Points redemption only |
| Give as a Gift | ✅ Yes — great gift option | ❌ Not giftable |
* Best practice: pay with your gift card AND have a Rewards account linked so you earn points on gift card purchases at the same time.
