What a L.L. Bean gift card gets you
The card spends on everything L.L.Bean makes and sells: apparel, the iconic Bean Boots, packs and luggage, hunting and fishing gear, kayaks and bikes, and home goods, both online and at the flagship in Freeport, Maine, plus the retail and outlet stores. It also covers L.L.Bean's Outdoor Discovery Programs — guided trips and classes — and applies to monogramming and embroidery. There are no activation fees, no purchase fees, and no expiration on the balance.
two formats:
- Physical card: Mailed in a gift holder. $25 to $500 per card via llbean.com.
- E-gift card: Emailed within minutes, redeemable online or scanned from your phone in store. $25 to $500 per card via llbean.com or Dyme.
You can apply multiple L.L.Bean gift cards to a single order online or in store, and combine a gift card with a credit card to cover any remaining balance.

Can I get a L.L. Bean gift card at a discount?
Yes, but not through Dyme. Dyme sells L.L.Bean e-gift cards at face value; the value-add is Dyme Miles and instant paperless delivery, not a face-value discount. The discount channels are:
- Costco, in store or online. Periodic multi-pack discounts on physical L.L.Bean cards. Supply rotates and isn't always listed. Membership required.
- Secondary marketplaces (Raise, CardCash). Resold gift cards from third parties, typically a few percent below face value. Verify the balance before redeeming, since secondary sellers occasionally list cards with partial balances.
- L.L.Bean direct promotions. L.L.Bean runs frequent sitewide sales and coupon events on llbean.com, but these apply to merchandise, not to gift-card SKUs themselves. You can still stack a sale price with gift-card payment.
The bigger combined return comes from the rewards stack below: your credit card, L.L.Bean's Bean Bucks at redemption, and Dyme Miles on the purchase. Most buyers leave that money on the table.
How to stack rewards
Three rewards programs fire on a single L.L.Bean gift card purchase through Dyme.
Your credit card earns rewards on the Dyme purchase.
Gift-card resellers typically code as MCC 5947; many cards exclude this MCC from category bonuses.
Free to join. Earns at redemption, not on the gift card purchase.
Bean Bucks accrue when you spend the gift card on merchandise using the L.L.Bean Mastercard, not on the gift-card purchase itself. Without the co-brand card there is no general L.L.Bean points program. Program terms →
Earn 1 Mile for every dollar you spend, and 5 Miles per dollarduring special offers — the layer the other channels can't match.

How to buy on llbean.com
- Go to llbean.com and open the gift cards page.
- Choose physical or e-gift, pick a design and the amount from $25 to $500.
- Add to bag and check out. L.L.Bean does not discount gift-card SKUs, and Bean Bucks accrue on merchandise spend, not on the gift-card purchase.
How to buy in store
Any L.L.Bean retail or outlet store sells gift cards, including the 24-hour flagship in Freeport, Maine. Tell an associate the amount you want, pay with cash, credit, or another gift card, and walk out with the card. You can load any whole-dollar amount in store.
How to buy at Costco, Sam's Club, or a supermarket
Costco periodically runs multi-pack L.L.Bean gift cards at a discount, in warehouse and online; stock and pricing rotate. Supermarket gift-card racks at chains such as Hannaford, Kroger, and Stop & Shop carry $25, $50, and $100 L.L.Bean cards at face value. You pay no discount but earn the retailer's loyalty points and any fuel rewards that apply to gift-card purchases.
