Where to Buy Total Wine Gift Cards: Deals, Rewards & Miles

Total Wine & More gift cards spend at America's largest independent wine, beer, and spirits retailer, across more than 250 stores and on totalwine.com where stocking laws allow. The card comes in physical or digital form, never expires, and carries no fees. The ways to buy differ on speed and what you earn back. Here's how each compares.

What a Total Wine gift card gets you

The card reaches well past wine: more than 8,000 wines, 4,500 spirits, and 2,500 beers, plus glassware, mixers, cigars, and in-store tastings and classes where offered. It spends in store and, in states that permit it, on totalwine.com. There is no activation fee and no dormancy charge on the balance.

two formats:

  • Physical card: Sold at store registers and shippable from totalwine.com. Common load range $25 to $500.
  • E-gift card: Emailed within minutes, redeemable in store or online where allowed. $25 to $200 via Dyme.

More than one gift card can be applied to a single purchase in store or online; the register draws down each balance in turn.

Gift-card use and the rewards program vary by state law. Verify the balance and local rules before you redeem.

Can I get a Total Wine gift card at a discount?

Yes, but not through Dyme. Dyme sells Total Wine e-gift cards at face value; the value-add is Dyme Miles and instant paperless delivery. The discount channels are:

  • Secondary marketplaces (Raise, CardCash). Resold Total Wine cards from third parties, typically a few percent below face value when in stock. Verify the balance before redeeming, since secondary sellers occasionally list cards with partial balances.
  • Total Wine everyday-low and case pricing. Total Wine's mixed-case discounts, weekly deals, and clearance pricing let a gift card stretch further against the lowered shelf prices, especially when buying by the case.
  • Coupons and app offers. Total Wine's app and email offers add coupons on select bottles that lower the item cost the card has to cover, where state law allows.

The bigger combined return comes from the rewards stack below: your credit card, &MORE Rewards at redemption, and Dyme Miles on the purchase.

E-gift cards: several designs with a customizable message and recipient email.

There is no co-branded or photo-personalized option for individual purchase.
