Gifting WeCards: how it works and when to do it

A gift is a card you give away for free. It is the fastest way to help someone finish a chapter, and it is how many collectors use up the commons they have ten copies of.

How a gift works in WeWard

In WeWard you can send a card to a friend you follow. The card leaves your collection and lands in theirs. A gift is one-way and can't be undone, so check the card and the name before you send it.

Why give cards away?

• Spare commons are hard to trade. Most collectors already have them.
• One card can finish a chapter for someone who has waited weeks for it.
• Collectors remember who helped them, and often send something back later.

Gifting on SwapTrek

The Gift page lists the collectors who are missing cards you have spare. Pick a person, pick the cards, and SwapTrek tells them a gift is on the way. You then send it in the WeWard app, and they confirm it arrived.

Confirmed gifts count on the Top gifters board. The ten most generous members of the month earn a badge, and finished months stay in the Hall of Fame.

Gift safely

• Use a trade, not a gift, when you expect a card back. A trade needs both sides to accept.
• Be careful with anyone who says "gift first and I'll send mine after". It is the most common trick.
• Never pay for a gift, and never accept money for one.
• Add new WeWard friends a few at a time. Adding lots of people in one day can look like spam.

Asking for a gift

It is fine to ask, politely. Keep your missing list up to date, say which card you need and what you can offer in return, even if it is small. Collectors with many spares are usually happy to help someone who asks nicely.
