Not sure which country you're in but in the U.S. I haven't seen many gift cards that are contactless tap-to-pay so you would want to double-check. Without tap-to-pay those type of cards would need to be added into a phone app (Google Wallet / Apple Pay) to be able to tap-to-pay using it.
It's possible outside the U.S. it's more common for gift cards to be able to tap-to-pay.
Or if you're talking about store gift cards then the same applies, most of those aren't tap-to-pay either so you'd want to double-check.
Thanks. Hadn't thought that far ahead.
Even inside google wallet many are still not tap to pay, the most common one is by barcode scanning + PIN
