Yes, free GiftCards are shipped separately, we need to assign a value to the item in order to ship it to you. It may appear as though you’re being charged for the item or GiftCard, but you’ll notice that other items in your order were assigned a discounted rate. So although you were charged for the GiftCard, you received discounts on other items totaling the promotional value. Because the items ship separately, you’ll notice two separate authorizations on your payment method.
