How It Works
Be Spontaneous!
Don’t miss those special moments to send a smile.

Turning Impulse to Good


Recognize a birthday, promotion, new baby, new puppy, passed (or failed) an exam, etc. without breaking the bank. What about that friend who brought you chicken soup when you were sick, or picked up your kid from school when you were stuck in traffic? Send them a Yiftee gift.

On your iPhone or the web:


  1. Choose a real gift at a local merchant
  2. Choose a friend (via Facebook, email or text)
  3. Personalize it with a note
  4. Pay with a credit card

Your friend gets the gift notice immediately, he or she:

  1. Is notified via Facebook, email and/or text
  2. Gets a single-use digital credit card along with the gift and merchant descriptions and your note
  3. Takes their phone (any smart phone) to the merchant to pick up the gift by showing the credit card
  4. The merchant rings up the gift as usual, charging it to the credit card

It's the thought that counts!

Your friend has four weeks to pick up the gift. After that, he or she may donate the gift value to charity or the money is returned to your Yiftee account and you can give another Yiftee gift. Any change remaining on the credit card is also returned to your Yiftee account.

Companies, reward your employees with Yiftee gifts and support your local community

It takes only seconds to show your appreciation with a latte, glass of wine, lunch, manicure or other thoughtful gift in your company’s neighborhood. Entirely unexpected, Yiftee gifts are so much more personal than a gift card.
