Gift Cards at Dollar Tree: Availability Explained

Dollar Tree doesn’t sell third-party gift cards to places like restaurants, gas stations, or other retail stores.^[1][2] While other dollar stores like Dollar General do stock third-party gift cards,^[3] Dollar Tree only sells merchandise that costs $1 or less.^[4]

We contacted Dollar Tree stores in Michigan, North Carolina, Texas, and Utah to confirm that third-party gift cards aren’t available at the retailer. All of the representatives we spoke with confirmed that you can’t buy third-party gift cards. However, Dollar Tree’s own gift cards are available in stores and online for any amount between $5 and $100.

Dollar Tree also sells Green Dot reloadable cards,^[5] but these are prepaid debit cards, not gift cards.

We also have the details on where else to buy third-party gift cards and stores that sell discounted gift cards.
