After redeeming a link reward, the recipient will need to confirm their email to access it again. The prompt will look like this:
Why link security matters
Once a link reward has been redeemed for a gift card, the original link automatically redirects to the gift card. To protect the recipient’s information, it’s important that the link is not shared with or accessed by unauthorized individuals.
For example, if a recipient redeems a reward for an Amazon.com card, anyone with the link could steal the gift card code. If it’s a Visa prepaid card, they might see the card number, security code, or even past transactions—even if the card is already used.
That’s why we send a confirmation email to the intended recipient, keeping this sensitive information secure.
When this occurs
The security feature only applies to link delivery rewards. The “Verify it’s you” check happens after the recipient has redeemed the reward.
