## Honeyfund Wallet

With the Honeyfund Wallet, your gifts never expire, and we offer 2 easy ways to collect your gifts - Flex Funds & Gift Card Funds. 

**Flex Funds**

When guests choose experiences from your registry (like Dinner for Two or Snorkeling Adventure), the money you receive isn't tied to a specific purchase. _You decide how to use it._

You can redeem Flex Funds through:

*   [**Honeyfund Prepaid Mastercard®**](https://help.honeyfund.com/en_us/categories/honeyfund-prepaid-mastercard-r1Vl7tcIxg) 
*   **[Nearly 300 digital gift card partners](https://www.honeyfund.com/products/)** 
*   [**PayPal or Venmo**  
    ](https://help.honeyfund.com/en_us/sending-funds-to-paypal-or-venmo-HkLmntqUge)

**Branded Gift Cards**

If you add specific gift cards like Amazon or Delta to your registry, those gifts are delivered as digital gift cards that you redeem directly with that brand**.**

## **Good to Know**

At this time, our payment systems aren’t connected. All gifts are collected through the same payment system used to receive them. This means that funds in your Honeyfund Wallet can’t be transferred to your bank account.
