eXtra gift cards

eXtra is a leading electronics and home appliances retailer in the Gulf, stocking mobiles, computers, TVs, gaming gear, smart home devices and household appliances across its stores and websites. A card lets the recipient choose something they actually want, from a laptop for work to a console for downtime. GIFQ offers eXtra cards for three markets: Saudi Arabia, Bahrain and Oman.

Each card is tied to one country. A Saudi Arabia card is denominated in Saudi riyal, a Bahrain card in Bahraini dinar, and an Oman card in Omani rial. A card bought for one market cannot be redeemed in the other two, so the country is the first decision when you order. If the recipient is in Riyadh, send the Saudi card; if they are in Manama, send the Bahrain card.

Within each market you set the value you need. The amounts differ by country: Saudi Arabia runs from SAR 25 to SAR 5,000, Bahrain from BHD 2 to BHD 450, and Oman from OMR 2 to OMR 500. All three expire 12 months after issue. The market pages list the exact range and the redemption rules for that country, including whether online redemption is available and how multiple cards can be used.

eXtra fits naturally into Gulf payout and incentive programmes. Pay out earnings or commissions to contractors, affiliates or research participants in each country in their own currency. Reward a sales team or a high performer with something from a shop they know. Send a welcome or apology credit to a customer after a service issue. Because the value is flexible, the same brand can cover a small thank-you in one campaign and a substantial payout in another.

Through GIFQ you can send eXtra cards from the dashboard in bulk, for example to a list of employees across the Gulf, or issue them one at a time through the API, for example when a user reaches a payout threshold. You choose the market for each recipient, so one GIFQ account handles cards for Saudi Arabia, Bahrain and Oman without switching providers.

The card’s appeal changes a little by country. In Saudi Arabia, eXtra is a familiar destination with a broad range, so it works for consumer rewards and employee recognition alike. In Bahrain and Oman, eXtra is a specialist electronics retailer, so the card suits recipients who are already in the market for tech or an appliance rather than a general shopping credit.
