About Hightales United Kingdom
Hightales is a digital gift card for the Great British Pub, usable at more than 750 pubs across the United Kingdom. Recipients can spend the balance on food and drink at well-known chains like Chef & Brewer, Hungry Horse, Farmhouse Inns, Flaming Grill, Belhaven and Loch Fyne. If you're sending rewards to people in the UK, this card gives them a reason to get together, whether that's a Sunday roast with family or a round of drinks with colleagues.
The card is denominated in GBP, and you can set any face value from £5 to £250 for each card. The balance expires one year after the last use, so recipients have a long window to enjoy it, and each transaction resets that clock.
Recipients receive a digital code that can be used at participating pubs across the UK. To redeem, they simply present the code when paying for food or drink. It's worth noting that the card is not a typical gift card with a magnetic strip; it's an e-gift that works as a voucher, so you'll want to make sure your recipients are comfortable with digital redemption.
Through GIFQ, you can send Hightales cards to employees as a thank-you, to customers as a loyalty perk, or to research participants as compensation. Because the card is only valid in UK pubs, it's best for recipients who live in or will be visiting the UK. A remote team based outside the UK would likely find this card less useful than one that redeems online or across multiple countries.
This card has no sibling markets, so it is only for the United Kingdom and cannot be used outside the UK.
From product selection to delivery
For a direct order, your business chooses this product, its value and the quantity. Review the card details alongside the recipient’s needs before including it in a bulk order or an integration.
Check the market and value
The card details show the values and currency for this product. Use those to choose an amount that fits your budget and the recipient’s market. For a different country, explore the brand’s other market listings.
Prepare the recipient’s instructions
Review the expiry information shown and the brand’s instructions. Check whether redemption requires an account or a particular channel. Deliver those instructions with the reward so the recipient knows how to use it.
Choose direct ordering or recipient choice
If you need this particular card, order the selected product and value through the dashboard or API. If you want the person to choose the brand, confirm the options available for that payout before presenting the selection.
Start with a small order
Test the flow with a small order and keep its reference. Check the status before repeating a request that appears delayed. In an integration, connect the GIFQ order to your own record so your team can follow up on delivery questions.

How do recipients redeem the Hightales card?

Can I send Hightales cards in bulk through GIFQ?

Is the Hightales card suitable for recipients outside the UK?
No, the card can only be used in participating pubs within the United Kingdom. If your recipients are based outside the UK or are not planning to visit, you may want to consider a different card that is valid in their country.
