A plain look at how sending a Preznt cash gift compares to a typical store gift card.
| Preznt | Traditional gift card | |
|---|---|---|
| Fees | A flat $1.49 send fee on cash gifts, shown up front. No added fee on brand gift cards. | Markups and dormancy fees are common on store gift cards and are often buried in the fine print. |
| If you make a mistake | Cash gifts can be cancelled and refunded if sent to the wrong email or left unclaimed. | A physical or store gift card generally can't be cancelled or refunded once given. |
| Expiration | Cash gifts never expire. | Store gift cards can expire or get forgotten in a drawer — billions of dollars go unused every year. |
| Delivery | Sent by email with a secure claim link; settles instantly on the Solana network. | Usually a physical card or a mailed/printed code. |
| Recipient's choice | Recipients can deposit cash gifts to their bank, buy any gift card they want, or send it on to someone else. | Store gift cards lock the recipient into that one store. |
| Crypto experience needed | None — pay with your debit/credit card or bank account, just like any online checkout. | Not applicable. |
"Traditional gift card" describes typical store-issued gift cards generally, not any specific company. Brand gift cards purchased through Preznt are purchased outright at face value and are non-refundable, same as buying one directly from the brand.
