Dutch Bros Gift Cards: Buy, Check Balance & Use (2026)
Dutch Bros gift cards are available as digital cards delivered by email and physical cards purchased online or at a shop. Both can be used for food and drinks at participating Dutch Bros locations, and their balances can be loaded into the Dutch Bros app.
This guide explains where to buy a card, available amounts, how to check the balance, how to add it to the app, and the restrictions that matter before you purchase.
Information checked: August 16, 2026. Gift-card options and terms can change, so confirm important details on the official Dutch Bros gift-card page.
Digital vs. Physical Dutch Bros Gift Cards
| Feature | Digital gift card | Physical gift card |
|---|---|---|
| Where to buy | Official online gift-card portal | Dutch Bros shops or the official online store |
| Delivery | Sent by email | Picked up in a shop or mailed |
| Available amounts | Any value from $10 to $100 | Set online options or a custom amount in a shop |
| How to use | Show the QR code or load funds into the app | Present the card or load its balance into the app |
| Reloadable | No | Not online; a shop can reload a physical card |
A digital card is usually the quickest option because it can be sent by email the same day. Dutch Bros asks customers to allow up to 24 hours from the requested delivery date before reporting a missing email. Physical cards are better when you want something tangible to hand to the recipient.
Current Gift-Card Amounts
Digital gift cards can be purchased in any amount from $10 to $100. Physical cards bought online are currently offered in these choices:
- Three-pack of $5 cards
- Two-pack of $10 cards
- $15
- $20
- $25
- $50
- $100
When buying a physical card at a Dutch Bros shop, you can choose a custom amount. The number of drinks a balance will cover depends on local menu prices, sizes, taxes, and add-ons, so there is no reliable universal drinks-per-card calculation.
How to Check a Dutch Bros Gift-Card Balance
Use the official Dutch Bros Gift Card Balance page for either a physical or digital card. Enter the card information requested on that page. If the card has already been loaded into your app account, its stored balance appears in the app.
Treat the card number, registration code, and QR code like cash. Do not post screenshots or share the details with anyone who should not have access to the balance.
How to Add a Gift Card to the Dutch Bros App
- Open the Dutch Bros app.
- Tap More at the bottom right.
- Tap Gift Cards, then choose Load Gift Card.
- Enter the Gift Card Number and Gift Card Reg Code, or select the option to scan the card’s QR code.
The Gift Card Number contains 16–19 digits, and the registration code contains six digits. Loading the balance into the app makes it possible to pay with Dutch Pass and earn points when the funds are spent. Dutch Bros does not award bonus points simply for buying a gift card.
Where and How Gift Cards Can Be Used
- Participating shops: Digital and physical cards can be used for purchases at Dutch Bros locations.
- Digital card: Show its QR code to the broista or transfer the funds to the app.
- Physical card: Present it at checkout or load its balance into the app.
- Food and drinks: Digital cards can purchase food and drink items at Dutch Bros locations.
- Online merchandise: Gift cards are not accepted for purchases on shop.dutchbros.com.
- Other gift cards: A gift card cannot be used to buy another digital or physical gift card.
- Third-party delivery: Dutch Bros says its digital gift cards cannot be used on third-party delivery sites.
Reloading and Combining Cards
Digital gift cards are not reloadable. Physical cards cannot be reloaded through the website, but Dutch Bros says a broista can reload one at a shop. Separate gift cards cannot be combined into a single card; however, their balances can be loaded into an app account.
Dutch Pass stored value also cannot be used to purchase physical or digital gift cards. If you are buying several digital cards for a group, note that the official FAQ says digital cards must currently be purchased individually.
Expiration, Fees, Refunds, and Security
- No expiration: Dutch Bros gift cards do not expire.
- No inactivity fees: No service, dormancy, or maintenance fee applies to an unused balance.
- Cash redemption: Card value is not redeemable for cash, check, or credit unless the law requires it.
- Lost or stolen value: Treat a card like cash. Dutch Bros states that the value of a lost or stolen digital gift card is non-refundable.
- Unauthorized resale: Cards may not be resold by an unauthorized party; unauthorized cards may be canceled or considered void.
Gift-card laws can vary by jurisdiction. Review the current official terms or contact Dutch Bros support when a legal cash-out rule, disputed balance, delivery problem, or compromised card is involved.
