Frequently asked questions
Can Ancestry gift cards be used to shop on Ancestry?
No, Ancestry gift cards don't hold any monetary value. They are only used to let someone know you've bought them an an AncestryDNA kit.
How can gift cards help me keep the gift a surprise?
While AncestryDNA kits can be shipped directly to the recipient, the package is labeled with AncestryDNA (unless you add neutral gift wrapping at checkout) and doesn’t include your name. Gift cards allow you to notify the recipient of who the gift is from and what they’ll receive without revealing the surprise in advance.
