Kay Jewelers Advisory

Please note...Kay Jewelers cards can no longer be used towards payments on accounts. The denomination and NPO benefit remains the same.

If the Kay Jewelers gift card states that it can be used to pay on a charge, customers are still able to do so. Right now the cards that we have in inventory still say that they can. The next order coming in will not. At that point, Kay Jewelers cards can no longer be used towards payments on accounts.
