LEGO Gift Cards and e-Gift Cards serve as a flexible and convenient way to purchase LEGO products, primarily within the United States and Canada, with specific rules governing their redemption locations and currency.
Understanding LEGO Gift Cards
LEGO Gift Cards, including both physical cards and digital e-Gift Cards, function similarly to standard gift cards. They hold a monetary value that can be used as payment for merchandise at designated LEGO sales channels.
Where You Can Use LEGO Gift Cards
LEGO Gift Cards purchased in the United States or Canada have specific redemption locations. This ensures clarity on where your card will be accepted for purchases.
- LEGO.com Websites:
- You can use your gift card on the official LEGO.com website for the United States.
- You can also use your gift card on the official LEGO.com website for Canada.
- LEGO Stores:
- Gift cards are accepted at all official LEGO Stores located within the United States.
- They are also valid at all official LEGO Stores located within Canada.
Important Redemption Exclusions
It is crucial to note that while LEGO Gift Cards are widely accepted across LEGO's direct sales channels in North America, there is a key exception:
- LEGOLAND® Locations: LEGO Gift Cards cannot be redeemed at LEGOLAND® theme parks or LEGOLAND Discovery Centers. These venues operate independently regarding gift card acceptance.
Currency and Redemption Details
One key aspect of how LEGO Gift Cards work involves the currency exchange when redeeming a card across borders within North America:
- Currency Conversion: When you redeem a LEGO Gift Card, you will be charged in the currency of the country where you are making the purchase.
- For example, if you bought a gift card in the United States (denominated in USD) but redeem it on the Canadian LEGO.com website or in a Canadian LEGO Store, your purchase will be charged in Canadian Dollars (CAD) based on the prevailing exchange rate at the time of redemption. This ensures a seamless transaction in the local currency.
Summary of Redemption Locations
For clarity, here's a quick overview of where your LEGO Gift Card can be used:
| Location Type | Countries Where Valid | Currency Charged | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| LEGO.com | United States, Canada | Local Currency | Online purchases only |
| LEGO Stores | United States, Canada | Local Currency | In-store purchases only |
Note: Always confirm the balance of your LEGO Gift Card before making a purchase to ensure sufficient funds. While the primary use is for purchasing LEGO products, gift cards typically cannot be exchanged for cash.
