Global Hotel gift cards by market
About Global Hotel
The Global Hotel Card is a gift card developed by Expedia that recipients use to pay for hotel stays on GlobalHotelCard.com. It gives access to a wide inventory of hotels worldwide, including major chains, resorts, boutique properties and bed and breakfasts. For a business, it is a way to offer a travel benefit that feels more like an experience than cash, without restricting the recipient to one hotel brand or one country. GIFQ offers this card in three European markets: Germany, Spain and France, each with its own card denominated in euros.
Each market has a separate card. A card issued for Germany is only usable on the German version of the booking site, and the same applies for Spain and France. They cannot be exchanged, even though all three use the euro. If you are sending rewards to people in different countries, choose the card that matches the recipient's country. The amount is loaded in euros and can be between EUR 50 and EUR 1000, with no fixed denominations, so you can set the exact value you want. The cards have no stated expiry date, so the value remains available until it is used.
The card is intended specifically for hotel bookings. Recipients redeem it by going to GlobalHotelCard.com, selecting the currency that matches their card, and entering the card details at checkout. This makes it a good choice for paying out travel-related incentives, such as bonuses for remote workers, rewards for sales teams, or compensation for research participants who might appreciate a funded stay. It is less suitable for recipients who rarely travel or who would prefer cash or a more flexible gift card.
Through GIFQ, you can send the Global Hotel Card to recipients in Germany, Spain and France from one place. Use the dashboard to send cards in bulk to employees, customers or participants, or integrate the API to issue cards one by one as part of an automated payout flow. This is useful for companies with distributed teams or customer bases across these three countries, since you can manage all three markets without setting up separate processes for each.
For details on amounts, redemption steps and any market-specific notes, see the individual pages for Global Hotel Germany, Global Hotel Spain and Global Hotel France. Each page lists the minimum and maximum amounts and explains how recipients use the card in that country.
