What HR, finance, and procurement teams ask before placing a bulk order through GIFQ.
Talk to the GIFQ team →Sawa is STC's prepaid airtime brand, so the card credit applies only to STC prepaid mobile numbers in Saudi Arabia. Recipients on other Saudi carriers such as Mobily or Zain cannot use a Sawa card.
Sawa cards issued via GIFQ carry a 6-month expiry from the date of issuance. Communicating this window to recipients at the time of distribution reduces the risk of unused rewards.
Yes — Sawa top-ups are redeemed by entering a code on a mobile phone, requiring no bank account, app, or internet connection beyond a basic handset. This makes them practical for recipient populations that may not hold conventional financial products.
No. Sawa cards on GIFQ are denominated and redeemable only within Saudi Arabia (SA). If your program covers recipients in multiple countries, GIFQ's catalog includes separate brands for other markets.
Available denominations are confirmed at the time of order through GIFQ's platform. Contact the GIFQ team directly if your program requires a specific face value or a custom denomination mix across a large distribution.
A Sawa card is narrower in scope — it tops up mobile airtime only — but that specificity is an advantage when the goal is a guaranteed, immediately useful reward for STC prepaid users. General prepaid cards involve more steps for recipients to activate and may carry their own fees; Sawa redemption is a single code entry.
Sawa is the prepaid mobile top-up brand operated by STC (Saudi Telecom Company), the dominant mobile carrier in Saudi Arabia. A Sawa card delivers airtime credit directly to a Saudi mobile number, making it one of the most practical rewards you can send to recipients inside the Kingdom. For HR and finance teams running employee recognition programs, contractor payouts, or research panel incentives for a Saudi audience, Sawa cards land instantly and require no bank account or credit card to redeem — the recipient simply applies the code to their STC prepaid number. This makes them especially effective for reaching blue-collar workers, field staff, or any recipient segment less likely to hold a conventional financial product. STC holds the largest mobile subscriber base in Saudi Arabia, so coverage is broad and the brand is widely trusted. On GIFQ, Sawa cards are available exclusively for recipients in Saudi Arabia (country code: SA). Cards carry a 6-month expiry window from issuance, which gives recipients adequate time to redeem while keeping your reward budget from aging indefinitely on the books. Teams distributing rewards at scale will find Sawa a dependable, low-friction option for Saudi-based populations.
