What you get
Redeeming turns your available Croissant credit into a gift card for one of these partners (like Revolve or FWRD). You can redeem your full balance or just part of it — whatever you don't redeem stays as credit in your Wallet.
How much you can redeem each month
You can turn up to $500 of earned credit into gift cards each calendar month, across all gift card stores. Your limit starts over on the 1st of every month. Credit Drops don't count toward it, including your Premium $50 Revolve or FWRD drop, and neither does earning: you can earn as much credit as you like.
The app shows how much you have left under the amount on the Get a gift card screen (for example, "Up to $400 more this month. Resets Nov 1."), and the amount you can redeem stops at that figure. If you go over the limit, no gift card is made. The app says Monthly gift card limit reached, and croissant.com says you've reached this month's $500 gift card limit. Either way, your credit stays in your Wallet and still pays at Croissant Pay brands.
How to redeem your credit
In the app
Open your Wallet. In the Available credit card, tap Get a gift card. You'll see it when you have earned credit. You can also tap Use your credit, then Turn credit into a gift card (if you have Credit Drops, it's a Get a gift card button instead). A Revolve or FWRD drop has its own card in your Wallet that opens its own gift card form (see How to Find and Use Your Credit Drops).
On the Get a gift card screen:
Check the amount. You can redeem up to your available balance, in whole dollars, or what's left of your monthly limit, whichever is less.
Choose a retailer — tap the store you want a gift card for under Retailer.
Tap Get a $186 gift card (the button shows your amount). A summary opens with your gift card and how much of your monthly limit will be left.
Tap Get gift card. Your gift card is generated and saved to your Wallet.
The summary also shows where else your credit can go. If you'd rather not get a gift card, it names Croissant Pay stores and brands where your credit pays at checkout. Tap See all Croissant Pay brands to browse them, or Cancel to go back.
On croissant.com
Sign in from the Members menu at croissant.com. In the menu on the left, click Wallet → Overview, then click Get a gift card. You'll see this button when you have credit to redeem. You can also find it under Wallet → Use your credit.
On the Turn credit into a gift card page:
Enter an amount. It starts at your available credit, held to your Monthly gift card limit, and the page shows Use up to the most you can use.
Choose a retailer — click the store you want a gift card for.
Click Get a gift card (the button shows your amount). A summary pops up with your gift card and how much of your monthly limit will be left. Click Get $20 gift card to confirm.
Your gift card is saved to Wallet → Gift cards.

Using your gift card
Your gift card number stays hidden until you're ready to shop. Open the card from Wallet → Gift cards and tap Copy and shop with the retailer's name (for example, Copy and shop Revolve) ①. It copies the card number and opens the retailer. When you come back to the card, the number shows with a Copy link ② in case you need it again. The number is hidden again the next time you open the card, so tap Copy and shop each time. On croissant.com it works the same way: click Copy and shop, and the number shows with a Copy link.
On the card in the app, Check balance under Card activity refreshes what's left (you'll see it once the card has activity), and Remove card at the bottom takes the card out of your wallet for good. You can't undo it.
Then use your gift card one of two ways:
With the Croissant extension — at checkout on a supported retailer's site, it spots the gift card field and shows your gift cards for that store. Click Copy and shop on a card to copy its number (the retailer also opens in a new tab), then paste it into the gift card field. New to the extension? See Set up the Croissant extension.
By hand — paste the card number into the gift card field at checkout.
Note: the extension only works on a retailer's website, not inside their mobile app. Shopping in the retailer's app (like the Revolve app)? Tap Copy and shop on your card to copy the number, then paste it at checkout in their app.
Good to know
Not sure you want a gift card? Your credit also pays at checkout at Croissant Pay brands. See How to Use Croissant at Checkout.
Pick the right retailer before you confirm — a gift card can't be moved to a different retailer once it's issued. More on this: Can I change my gift card retailer?
If a code ever shows as invalid at checkout, it usually just means a $0 balance. Here's how to check: Why does my gift card say "Invalid"?
