Quick answer: You can buy a Grubhub gift card straight from Grubhub.com, in store and online at big-box and office stores like Target, Best Buy, Staples, and Walmart, on Amazon, from reputable online gift-card sites, and as a PerfectGift for Grubhub that sends by text or email in seconds and lets the recipient keep it as Grubhub, switch brands, or move the balance to a Visa. Grubhub is a mass-market card, so the big-box stores carry it, and a digital one can be in someone's inbox in under a minute.
A Grubhub gift card is more than one dinner
A Grubhub gift card covers food delivery and pickup from restaurants, plus grocery and convenience orders through the Grubhub app, in Grubhub's US delivery markets. It applies to the food and fees on an order, though Grubhub does ask for a backup payment method on file for anything the card balance does not cover, like a tip. It never expires, so it works whether the recipient orders tonight or three months from now.
Buying it as a gift vs. for yourself
- Buying it as a gift? You want it on time, easy to send, and flexible in case the recipient doesn't use Grubhub much. A digital card that arrives by text or email beats a plastic card you have to mail, and a card they can redirect if they'd rather order elsewhere beats one they cannot.
- Buying it for yourself? You want the fastest path to a balance on your account. Grubhub.com, a digital card on Amazon, or a physical card from any nearby store all work.

The 6 best places to buy a Grubhub gift card
1. PerfectGift — best for gifting
A PerfectGift for Grubhub starts as a Grubhub card, but the recipient is not locked in. If they order on Grubhub, that is what they get. If you were not sure, they can switch it to another brand, move the balance to a Visa gift card to spend anywhere, send it on with Zelle, or regift it. It sends by text or email in seconds, so it works when you are short on time, and it never expires.
Pros: recipient can keep it as Grubhub, swap brands, or move to Visa; digital delivery in seconds; $5–$500; never expires. Cons: the swap-to-another-brand step is the recipient's choice, not yours. Our take: reach for this when Grubhub is probably right but you'd like the recipient to have options if it is not.
2. Grubhub.com — best for buying direct
You are buying straight from Grubhub, in digital or physical form, with first-party support. This is the no-doubt-about-it source, and the card posts to the recipient's account with a couple of clicks.
Pros: first-party, digital or physical, guaranteed legitimate. Cons: no flexibility if the recipient doesn't order on Grubhub. Our take: the safe default for your own account top-up, or a gift when you know they use Grubhub.
3. Amazon — best for fast digital
Amazon sells the Grubhub gift card in digital form with fast email delivery, handy if you are already checking out there.
Pros: fast digital delivery, trusted checkout. Cons: no swap or cash-out option. Our take: fine when you need a card fast. If it's a gift, a PerfectGift looks more like one.
4. Big-box and office stores — best for a card in hand today
Grubhub is a mass-market card, so Target, Best Buy, Staples, and Walmart all carry it, usually from $25 to $100 on the gift-card rack (several also sell it as an eGift online). This is the option when you need something to hand over tonight.
Pros: available almost everywhere, in hand immediately, easy to gift in person. Cons: the rack is physical and limited to the amounts in stock. Our take: the move when the occasion is today and you want a card you can wrap.
5. Online gift-card sites — best online alternative to Grubhub
Established gift-card sites like eGifter and Giftnix sell Grubhub cards online with digital delivery. A solid backup when you are not buying from Grubhub or Amazon directly. Stick to well-known sellers.
Pros: online, digital delivery, reputable options. Cons: a plain-brand card with no swap option. Our take: a fine backup if Grubhub.com and Amazon aren't convenient.
6. GCX (Raise) — best for a small discount
GCX resells gift cards at a discount, so you can sometimes pick up a Grubhub card below face value. Discounts move with inventory and are usually modest, but the 90-day guarantee protects you if a card doesn't work.
Pros: legitimate discounts with a 90-day guarantee; instant delivery on most listings. Cons: discount and availability change with inventory; not ideal for gifting. Our take: worth a look for a self-purchase; skip it if you're gifting.
Do Target, Walmart, and Best Buy sell Grubhub gift cards?
Yes. Grubhub is one of the more widely stocked food-delivery cards, so Target, Best Buy, Staples, and Walmart all carry it, on the physical gift-card rack and, at several of them, as an online eGift too. If you'd rather go first-party or digital, buy from Grubhub.com, Amazon, PerfectGift, or a reputable gift-card site.
Match the source to your timeline
- Need it in minutes: a digital PerfectGift, a Grubhub.com eGift, or an Amazon digital card.
- Need it today, in hand: a Target, Best Buy, Staples, or Walmart.
- Have a few days: a physical card by mail, including a plastic PerfectGift.
Watch out for cheap "Grubhub code" deals
Discounted gift cards from a warehouse club or a reputable reseller are one thing. A stranger on a marketplace advertising a deeply discounted Grubhub card is another, and that's where a lot of gift-card fraud happens. A card sold well below face value by an unofficial seller can arrive already drained. Buy from Grubhub, a major retailer, PerfectGift, Amazon, or a reputable gift-card site, not a random listing.
How to use a Grubhub gift card
- Add it to your account: at Grubhub.com or in the Grubhub app, go to your account, choose Grubhub gift cards, and enter the card number and PIN. The balance is applied automatically to eligible orders.
- Grubhub gift cards work on food delivery and pickup, and grocery and convenience orders, in Grubhub's US markets only.
- You'll need a Grubhub account and a backup payment method on file for anything the card doesn't cover, like a tip. Gift cards don't pay for a Grubhub+ membership.
- With a PerfectGift, the recipient can instead swap the brand, move the balance to a Visa, send it via Zelle, or regift it. They choose how to redeem it.
The bottom line
For a gift, a PerfectGift for Grubhub is the safer pick if you're not certain they order on Grubhub, and it still arrives in seconds. For a guaranteed first-party card, buy at Grubhub.com. For tonight, any Target, Best Buy, Staples, or Walmart has one on the rack. Wherever you buy, stick to official sources and skip the too-good-to-be-true discount codes.
