Cash App discontinued its Gift Card feature and converted existing gift card balances to cash equivalents on April 5, 2026. The updated terms remove three provisions that previously described how gift cards functioned: account requirements, cash redemption rules, and merchant-specific usage restrictions. Users who held gift cards before this change now have their balances reflected as standard Cash App Balance rather than designated merchant credits.
Consumers: Gift cards no longer require account verification, because the feature itself has been discontinued.
Consumers: The special rules about converting small gift card balances to cash are gone because gift cards no longer exist as a product.
Consumers: Gift card-specific merchant restrictions no longer apply, as the converted balances are now standard cash that can be used anywhere.
The updated terms state that Cash App has discontinued the gift card feature as of April 5, 2026. Any existing gift card balances that users previously held have been automatically converted to their cash value equivalent and added to their Cash App Balance. This means gift card-specific account restrictions, redemption limits, and merchant-only usage rules no longer apply, as the underlying feature has been retired. Users do not need to take action; the conversion has been completed automatically.
