Gift.cool France gift cards

Gift.cool is a French gift app that turns a chosen amount into spending power at more than 250 well-known brands and independent local shops across France. Recipients can use it at chains like Fnac and Décathlon, at neighbourhood bookshops and sports stores, and online with services such as Uber and Netflix. For businesses sending rewards or payouts in France, it offers something a single-retailer card cannot: the recipient picks where the money goes.

Cards are issued in EUR with any amount from 1 to 900. Face value is chosen by the buyer, so a thank-you can be small and a research incentive can be substantial. The balance is valid for one year, can be used in one or several transactions, and can be combined with other Gift.cool balances. It cannot be exchanged or refunded.

To redeem, the recipient installs the Gift.cool app on iOS or Android, creates an account, and enters the card number shown on their PDF. They then choose a merchant from the in-app map and pay with the app. There is no plastic card, and no need to print anything unless the recipient prefers to keep the PDF as a record.

Through GIFQ, businesses send Gift.cool France cards in bulk from the dashboard or one at a time via API. This suits a range of uses: paying out earnings to French freelancers and creators, rewarding a Paris-based team, thanking customers in France, or compensating participants in a French market research study. For any of these, the recipient gets a card they can spend at a national chain or the shop around the corner.

The card is valid only in France and only within the Gift.cool app. It is not a generic prepaid card and cannot be used outside the app, even at the same merchants. If your recipients are based elsewhere, this is not the right card for them.
