Participants may select their preferred vendor and receive the e-code directly. Please review the Tremendous Gift Card Department Manual and Demo Link for detailed information, recipient instructions, and FAQs. The Tremendous Gift Card Recipient Manual may also be shared with the participant for quick redemption instructions.

    Along with your disbursement request form, you may be required to submit the Tremendous Text Message Excel Template or the Tremendous Email Excel Template if the e-code redemption links will be delivered through Text message or Email directly to the recipient. You will be required to provide the recipients' names and phone numbers or email addresses on the template.
