Simply personalize the Digital Gift Card for your recipient, have it sent to yourself and then print it. Go to the "For Me" tab underneath "Who is the gift card for". Your Digital Gift Card will be sent to the email address entered on the Payment Page. Enter your recipient's name and your personal message on the Digital Gift Card messages page and complete the transaction normally. You will receive a Digital Gift Card alert via email. Follow the instructions in this message to retrieve your Digital Gift Card and then choose "Click to print this page." The resulting printout may be presented as a gift to the recipient.

Anyone with this printout or card number can use the Digital Gift Card for qualifying Rent the Runway purchases, so treat it as carefully as cash!
Digital Gift Cards may be applied toward one-time Reserve rentals, purchases of clothing (excluding membership items already at home), and the first month only of subscription membership fees for newly activated RTR subscriptions.

Digital Gift Cards are not redeemable or exchangeable for cash (except as required by law).
Any refunds of items purchased with Digital Gift Cards are subject to our Return Policy generally and will be made in the form of merchandise credits – funds will not be returned to the Digital Gift Card.

If your Digital Gift Card has a delivery date in the future and has not been delivered, you can cancel your purchase by contacting Customer Support and receive a refund. If the delivery date is the same day as the purchase date, the same date that you want to cancel or in the past, it cannot be canceled or refunded.
Your Digital Gift Card typically will be sent via email on the delivery date you choose. For same-day delivery, most Digital Gift Cards are typically sent within an hour of the purchase transaction. For future delivery, Digital Gift Cards are typically sent on the morning of the scheduled delivery date. Please see the "Digital Gift Cards" section below for more about Digital Gift Cards.
On the delivery date you choose, an email is sent to the recipient informing them of your gift, with a link to retrieve it online. The link in the email goes to a page showing the Digital Gift Card you created (the design you selected, with your recipient's name and your personalized message), its value and code number. This page also gives simple instructions for redeeming the Digital Gift Card. Sometimes, special offers and promotions are listed on the page. Anyone with this code number can use the Digital Gift Card for qualifying Rent the Runway purchases, so treat it as carefully as cash! Learn more about lost or stolen gift cards here.

Your Digital Gift Card has cash value and should be safeguarded as such. Digital Gift Cards will be replaced if lost, stolen, or damaged, but only with proof of purchase and only for the remaining value shown in our records. We are not responsible if your Digital Gift Card is used without your permission. If your Digital Gift Card has not been fully redeemed or has some remaining value, we can cancel the original and issue you a new Digital Gift Card for that value. Please reach out to Customer Support for assistance.
You must safeguard your Digital Gift Card. If someone gains access to your Digital Gift Card and redeems it for the full amount, your copy will have no value. No matter how many copies are made, the value of the Digital Gift Card is tied to the Digital Gift Card number. When that number is used for an order, the value of the order is deducted from the Digital Gift Card. If you suspect that someone has copied or stolen your Digital Gift Card, contact Customer Support immediately.
