Albert Heijn gift cards by market
About Albert Heijn
Albert Heijn is a household name in the Netherlands and a familiar sight in Belgium, where its supermarkets are known for fresh food, ready meals, and a wide range of everyday groceries. A gift card from Albert Heijn covers a recurring expense, which makes it one of the more practical rewards a business can send. Recipients can use it on a weekly shop, a quick lunch at an AH to go, or anything else in a physical store.
GIFQ offers the brand as two separate cards: one for the Netherlands and one for Belgium. Cards are issued in euros in both markets, with fixed values of 15, 25, 50, and 100 euros, and the balance stays valid for 3 years. A card bought for the Netherlands cannot be used in Belgium, and the other way around. When you send to a recipient, choose the market where they will shop, not where your company is based.
Both cards work in the same way. The recipient scans the barcode from their phone at a checkout or self-checkout, selecting gift card as the payment method. The balance can be spread over several visits, and the cards are also accepted at AH Pick Up Points and for the AH Bezorgservice. They are not accepted at ah.nl or ah.be, so recipients need to visit a store.
This makes Albert Heijn a strong fit for paying out earnings and incentives to people in the Netherlands and Belgium. A freelance contributor, a research participant, or an employee who gets a grocery card knows exactly what they can do with it. If a team is split across both countries, you can send two batches from one GIFQ dashboard, one for each market.
GIFQ sends these cards in bulk when you are paying a large group, or one at a time through the API when you need to reward a single person. There is no need to handle cards yourself. The recipient gets their card digitally, and you choose the market and amount for each person.
The brand works less well if your recipients expect something more flexible, like a prepaid card they can spend anywhere. But for covering groceries in either country, a couple of shops are hard to beat.
Choose the card’s market first
This is the brand’s overview page. The options above are products for different markets; open one to review the details that apply to your order.
Start with where it will be redeemed
Choose the option for the country where the card will be used. Each listing has its own redemption coverage, making it easier to find the right product for recipients in different markets.
Compare values and conditions
Currencies, denominations and terms can differ between products from the same brand. Review each market page and its instructions before deciding your selection or calculating the program budget.
Organize orders by product
For a program covering several countries, prepare the product, market, value and quantity needed for each group. Confirm your account pricing and delivery flow before moving from a test to a larger order.
Decide who chooses the brand
With a direct order, your business selects the card. If you would rather let each recipient choose, explore recipient-choice payouts and confirm the products supported for your program.
Frequently asked questions
Which countries can I send Albert Heijn gift cards to with GIFQ?

No. The cards are market-specific. A Netherlands card only works in Albert Heijn stores in the Netherlands, and a Belgium card only works in stores in Belgium.
