Region and where the card works

Barnes & Noble gift cards are tied to the United States store and are intended for orders placed there, in US dollars. A card bought for one country's store cannot be moved to another, so choose the version that matches where the recipient shops.

Shipping and delivery options depend on the Barnes & Noble store itself, so check that the recipient can receive orders from it before buying.
