Abstract
Disclosed combinable gift card components for a gift card purchase. A gift card can include a card component having a front surface, a back surface, a window, and a first identifier, and a secure insert component having: a secure insert portion with a second identifier, teeth at a leading edge of the secure insert component to mate with corresponding teeth of a middle layer of the card component for fixed alignment of the secure insert component inside the card component, an adhesive-resistant covering that can fold over the secure insert portion to hide the second identifier before the secure insert component is inserted into the card component, and a tab affixed to an end of the adhesive-resistant covering that can be pulled to cause the adhesive-resistant covering to unfold out from inside the card component to reveal the second identifier through the window.
