I recently purchased and sent a Bose eGift Card, but it hasn’t arrived. What should I do?
Occasionally, like any email, eGift Cards are intercepted by spam filters. Please check with the recipient to see if their eGift Card is in their spam or junk folders. It is also possible that the email address was incorrectly entered at the time of purchase, so please check the email address you entered for the recipient.

Once the eGift Card appears, select the “Send” button. Enter the appropriate email address and select “Submit.” The eGift Card has now been resent.
