There’s one gift that is guaranteed to fit every time—a gift card from The Home Depot. Home Depot gift cards are the perfect way to give to the Doers in your life. Congratulate a friend on a new home, say “Thank you” to an employee on a job well done, wish a “Happy Birthday” to the DIYer in your life or reward your honey with a little something to help them get through that ‘Honey-do’ list.

Available in plastic or eGift Card options, The Home Depot Gift Cards come in a variety of designs. So, you can personalize your gift card for the occasion, be it a wedding, holiday, new home purchase, Birthday or Mother’s/Father’s Day. Redeem your gift card in store or online.

The Home Depot gift cards can be purchased in The Home Depot stores in the U.S. or at HomeDepot.com. If you’re in the store, look for the display with a variety of card designs. You’re sure to find one that works. You may also purchase The Home Depot gift cards online when you are logged into your Home Depot account. Account login required.

Gift card scams are on the rise and are becoming a serious issue for major retailers and their customers. But, there are some things you can do to avoid falling victim. How do you avoid gift card scams? First off, remember is that no legitimate transaction will require you to pay specifically with gift cards. The Home Depot gift cards can only be used at The Home Depot stores or on homedepot.com and cannot be used to purchase other prepaid or specialty gift cards. Government agencies such as the IRS, Treasury Department, FBI or local police departments, will not accept any form of gift cards as payment, and would not ask you for gift card information, especially over the phone.

Secondly, other businesses do not accept payments in the form of The Home Depot gift cards. For example, you should never be asked to pay your utility bills, bail money, debt collection or hospital bills with The Home Depot gift cards; it’s likely a scam.

Don't purchase, sell or check your Home Depot gift card balance on online marketplaces outside of The Home Depot stores or homedepot.com. Websites and emails can be faked— look for outdated company logos or a lack of privacy policy information.

Don’t click or respond to online ads or websites offering free gift cards. These are often scams. Don’t provide personal information over the phone for an unsolicited request and never give gift card numbers over the phone or in an email to a stranger.
