Buying a gift card for yourself

Adding a card to your own wallet through the purchase wizard.

Updated August 5, 2026

A gift card is the only way to unlock the Browse Experiences mode. If you want a card on your own wallet without waiting for one to be sent to you, the purchase wizard at /redeem/wallet/buy lets you buy one for yourself. The card lands in your wallet immediately on a successful payment.

When to use this

Buying a card for yourself makes sense in three situations:

  • You want access to the Browse Experiences catalog and you don't have a card yet
  • You want to lift your effective tier on a specific experience by stacking a new card with credits
  • You want a clean record of a self-purchased card for reimbursement or gifting later

If you only want extra spending power on Custom Experiences or Product Requests, topping up Mojo Credits is faster and cheaper.

Open the wizard

The Buy a gift card link sits in the action row at the top of your wallet, next to Send a gift. Click it to open the four-step wizard.

Buy a gift card wizard, step 1. A heading Buy a gift card with a four-segment progress indicator at the top. The first segment is highlighted. Centred under the heading, a large preview of the Terra gift card with left and right arrow buttons to flip through tiers. Below the preview, a small price chip reads USD 28.92. A row of dot indicators corresponds to each of the eleven tier previews. A Browse all 11 options grid follows, listing every tier from Terra (USD 28.92) up to Exora (USD 5000.00) with a small thumbnail and price under each.
Step 1: pick a tier. The big preview updates as you arrow through the eleven options, or click a thumbnail in the grid below.

The four wizard steps are:

StepWhat it asks for
TierWhich gift card to buy. Eleven tiers from Terra to Exora, each with a fixed real-currency price.
CoverOptional cover image. Skip this if you want the default look.
PaymentMojo Credits or Stripe (card). Credits is only available if your balance is enough to cover the full price.
SuccessConfirmation. The card appears on your wallet and a copy of the receipt is emailed to you.

Step 1: pick a tier

Each tier is shown as a card preview with the tier name underneath. The price under the preview is the purchase price in real currency, paid in this wizard. Once the card is in your wallet, all recipient pages show only the tier name, never the dollar value.

The eleven tiers and their prices today:

TierPrice (USD)
Terra28.92
Lunara41.68
Kuasa75.30
Daya156.45
Amiri272.38
Imara405.70
Aroha533.22
Kishi683.93
Edisha1,315.75
Mahara1,500.00
Exora5,000.00

Once a tier is selected, a Selected badge appears on its preview and the Continue button enables.

Step 2: pick a cover

The cover sets the visual that the gift card shows in your wallet and on the redemption pages. Step 2 is optional. The Default cover keeps the brand visual and you can move on without picking anything else.

Step 2 of the wizard. Heading Pick a cover with subtitle Optional, leave blank for the default look. A grid of cover thumbnails: Default tile on the left, then a row of Anniversary 1 through Anniversary 7 covers. Back and Continue buttons at the bottom.
Step 2: cover image. Optional, picked from the platform's curated cover set.

The cover only changes the visual. It does not change the tier, value, or how the card behaves at redemption.

Step 3: pick a payment method

The payment step shows the order total and two methods.

Step 3 of the wizard. A panel reads Order total, with Mahara as a sub-line, and the figure USD 1500.00. Two radio options below. Pay with Mojo Credits is greyed out and disabled with a sub-line reading 1,500 credits and Balance 0 credits, Insufficient, with a Top up first link. Pay with card is enabled and shows USD 1500.00 with a sub-line Charged via Stripe, instant fulfillment. Back and Pay with credits buttons at the bottom; the Pay button is disabled because credits is the selected method but balance is insufficient.
Step 3: payment. Credits is only available if your balance is enough to cover the full price; otherwise the Stripe path is the only one that completes.

The two methods:

MethodWhen it's availableWhat you see on your bank statement
Mojo CreditsOnly if your credits balance is greater than or equal to the tier price. The label shows your current balance and the credits that will be debited.Nothing. Credits are platform-only.
Card (Stripe)Always available.A charge from "Mojo Gift" or the Stripe descriptor configured for the platform.

If credits is selected but your balance is short, the dialog points to the top-up flow so you can fund the card and come back.

Step 4: success

After a successful payment the wizard moves to the success state, the card is added to My Gift Cards, and a confirmation email is sent. The new card is immediately visible on your wallet and can be used for any of the three redemption modes.
