If I buy a gift card, do I have to still put money on it or is buying it just that?

When you buy a gift card you specify the amount to put on the card at the time of purchase. Usually you buy a store gift card that does not charge any additional fee. If you buy a non-store gift card such as American Express gift card then you can expect to pay an additional fee up to about $8.95 in addition to the amount of the gift.
Source(s): Home Depot sells many gift cards for their store and also non-store cards such as American Express. Store gift cards usually do not charge an additional fee. Non-store gift cards such as American Express may charge an additional fee up to approximately $8.95. The packaging on the gift cards at Home Depot clearly show the additional charge for the non-store gift cards. - 7 years ago
When you buy the gift card, you pay the amount of money that you want to go on the card! It is an exact amount, and no taxes are placed. For example if you want to give someone a $25 target grift card, you pay exactly $25 and they put the money on the gift card.

You can't buy a blank gift card, you do always have to put money on it. However, say you bought your friend Sam a gift card for his birthday in September, and he used all the money up by November, then asked you for another one for Christmas. You can take Sam's card back to the shop and they will reload it with more money. This is ok even if there's money left on it.
