Send Gift Points: In this tab you can send Gift Points to any Writing.Com member (enter their username, not their handle) or group (enter the Group's item ID number). Enter the amount you would like to send (you must have this amount or more in your account to be able to send them). Include a note if you wish, and confirm the transfer. This form can also be used to send the same amount of Gift Points to multiple members or Group items at once, up to 50 at a time.

Shop With Gift Points: In this tab you can purchase a membership for yourself or others, or buy or gift Costumicon subscriptions when they are available. The tab also has links to gift Awardicons (see AwardIcons), and to gift Merit Badges (see Merit Badges and Achievements).

Gift Point Logs: This tab displays a paged list of all of your Gift Point transactions, both sent and received, over the past year. Here you can see what is happening with your account, verify a recent transaction, and more. While you will be notified by email about most types of Gift Points you receive, some types of Gift Point transactions are only logged here. Also note that some types of Gift Point transactions are logged as two entries; for example, when a transaction consists of both a fee and a refund, when the Gift Points come from multiple sources, or when the Gift Points sent by the Review Mixer are automatically split between you and the review recipient.
