What HR, finance, and procurement teams ask before placing a bulk order through GIFQ.

Cards can be issued in any value from £1 to £500 per card. For bulk reward programmes, teams typically set a fixed denomination — common choices are £25 or £50 — ordered across a recipient list in one transaction.
The card carries a 24-month expiry measured from the last date of use, not the issue date. Each time a recipient spends on the card, the 24-month window resets, so active users effectively keep the balance live.
No — The Restaurant Card is redeemable only at UK locations of Café Rouge, Bella Italia, and Las Iguanas. It is not suited for international reward programmes or recipients based outside Great Britain.
A single-brand voucher limits recipients to one chain, which creates friction if no location is convenient. The Restaurant Card's three-brand coverage roughly triples the number of accessible restaurants, reducing the chance a recipient never redeems their reward.
It performs well as a recognition reward for individual milestones — work anniversaries, sales targets, or project completions — where a meal out feels more considered than a general prepaid card. It also works for team-lunch incentives where you want recipients to choose their own time and venue.
Café Rouge is a British casual dining chain with over 100 UK locations, built around a French brasserie experience — think steak frites, croque monsieurs, and a relaxed Gallic atmosphere. Gift cards issued through GIFQ are actually The Restaurant Card, a multi-brand redemption card that extends purchasing power across Café Rouge, Bella Italia (90+ Italian restaurants), and Las Iguanas (South American food and cocktails). That breadth makes this card more versatile than a single-brand voucher, which matters when you're rewarding a dispersed workforce with varied tastes. Recipients anywhere in Great Britain have a realistic chance of finding a participating restaurant nearby, given the combined footprint across all three brands. Denominations run from £1 to £500, and the 24-month rolling expiry — reset each time the card is used — means recipients aren't pressured to spend quickly. For HR and rewards teams, this card works well as a recognition gift for milestones, team lunches, or spot bonuses. It fits a recipient profile that appreciates a sit-down meal rather than retail spending, making it a strong alternative to general-purpose prepaid cards when you want the reward to feel personal and experiential.
