About National Book Tokens United Kingdom
National Book Tokens is the only gift card accepted across major bookselling chains and independents in the UK, including WHSmith, Waterstones, and Foyles. This makes it a practical reward for employees, customers, or research participants who read, since they can spend it almost anywhere books are sold, in store or online.
You can load any amount from £1 to £250 in pounds sterling. The card remains valid for 8 years from the last use, so recipients can take their time choosing a book.
Recipients can spend the card in participating bookshops by presenting it at the till, or online through the National Book Tokens online spending page, where they enter the card details. This gives UK recipients the same flexibility whether they prefer browsing shelves or shopping from home.
With GIFQ, you can issue these cards to people in the UK as compensation, payouts for work, or rewards for achievements. Send them in bulk from the GIFQ dashboard or individually through the API, and set each card's value anywhere within the allowed range.
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.
