About IGA Australia

IGA is a network of independently owned supermarkets operating throughout Australia, known for its local community focus and range of grocery, fresh food, and household essentials. An IGA gift card is a practical reward for employees, customers, or research participants who need everyday groceries. Because the card can only be used in-store at participating IGA locations, it works best for recipients who live near a store and can visit in person; it is not suitable for online grocery delivery or for people who cannot easily get to a physical shop.

Cards are issued in Australian dollars with any value between $5 and $1000, chosen by you at the time of purchase. Each card expires three years after issue. The remaining balance can be used across multiple in-store purchases until the expiry date, as no change is given for partial redemptions. The card cannot be exchanged for cash or used to pay store credit accounts.

To use the card, the recipient presents it at checkout at a participating IGA store. The balance is applied to the purchase and the recipient pays any difference with another method. The card is treated like cash: lost or stolen cards are not replaced, so you should advise recipients to keep the card details safe. A list of participating stores is available through the Metcash gift card website or by phone.

GIFQ lets you send IGA gift cards in bulk or one at a time to people in Australia. For example, you could use them to pay out earnings to Australian-based gig workers or research participants who appreciate a grocery card for everyday spending. They also work as a thank-you to customers or as a simple employee reward when a store visit is convenient.

This card is valid only in Australia and denominated in Australian dollars. It is not interchangeable with gift cards for other markets. If your recipients are located elsewhere, you will need a different card for those countries.

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.

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. 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.

Frequently asked questions

Where can the IGA gift card be used?

The card can be used in-store at participating IGA supermarkets in Australia. It is not valid for online purchases. Recipients should check the list of participating stores on the Metcash gift card website or call 1300 409 245 to confirm their local store accepts it.

How much value can I put on each card?

You can choose any amount between AUD $5 and AUD $1000 when you order the card through GIFQ. The value is set at purchase and cannot be changed later.

When does the card expire?

The card expires three years from the date of issue. Any remaining balance after expiry cannot be used, so recipients should spend the full value before that date.

Can the recipient get cash back or use the card for credit payments?

No. The card cannot be redeemed for cash or used to pay store credit accounts. No change is given on purchases; instead, the remaining balance stays on the card for future in-store purchases until the card expires.

Can I send IGA gift cards in bulk to people in Australia through GIFQ?

Yes. GIFQ allows you to send IGA gift cards in bulk or individually to recipients in Australia. This is useful for paying out earnings to gig workers or research participants, rewarding employees, or thanking customers who can use the card at a local IGA store.

What happens if a card is lost or stolen?

The card is treated like cash and will not be replaced if lost or stolen. You should tell recipients to store the card details securely and treat it as they would cash.
