A Stockpile gift card is the quickest, easiest way to give someone stock as a gift!
How Does It Work?
Buying a Stockpile gift card is as easy as buying a book on Amazon! Just choose the stock and dollar amount you want to give (say, $50 of Apple stock), tell us who the recipient is, and pay for your purchase using your debit card. Unfortunately, gift cards cannot be purchased with a credit card.
Once you have chosen your delivery method, your recipient will just need to redeem their gift. If your recipient is new to Stockpile, they will need to create an account with us in order to do so. When they create their account, they will be automatically enrolled in a free 30-day trial membership. At the end of their free trial, they can choose from our monthly or annual membership options, starting at just $3.95 a month.
After their gift card has been redeemed and converted into fractional or whole shares, the recipient's investment will go up and down with the market.
Does the gift card have an expiration date?
No, not at all. Stockpile gift cards don't have an expiration date. They can be redeemed anytime.
What if I’m under 18 years old?
Yes, you can. However, kids and teens under 18 are not able to open a Stockpile account on their own. A parent will need to open an account first, and then add their kids to their account.
Kids and teens can set up their own login to see how their stocks are doing. If they’re interested in purchasing more stocks after redeeming their gift card, they can request to do so, and the parent will have to approve it. For example, if a 15-year old wants to buy $20 of Facebook stock, they’ll send a request to the parent on the account. If the parent approves it, an order for $20 of Facebook stock will be placed and sent to the market to execute. Otherwise, if the request is declined, no order will be placed.
*Stockpile gift cards are not available for purchase in Connecticut (CT). Gift cards are refundable to the purchaser with proof of purchase.
