Aside from their physical appearance, gift cards differ from gift certificates. A gift card is an electronic card just like credit card, except that it contains a stored value.
On the other hand, gift certificates are paper documents sold by a business for future service. Gift certificates can be authorized through the identification number and signatures found on the certificate.
