HipChip lets you easily pool money and give gift cards as a group.
Starting a gift is easy. You simply choose a recipient and select what you'd like to give. We then help you invite your group and keep track of everything. We notify you when people chip in and automatically remind the latecomers for you. HipChip accepts payments online, pools the contributions and prepares your gift card(s) for delivery.
We charge the contributor a small processing fee of $1.00 for each contribution.Other than for Visa cards, there are no additional fees. If you are ordering a Visa card, the fee schedule is Here.
You can give any of our popular gift cards (more coming soon). See the full list Here.
As many as you want!
If no one else joins your gift, you can cancel your order for a 100% refund. No questions asked.
You choose the cutoff date (no more than 30 days from the day you place the order.)
