Secret Escapes gift cards by market
About Secret Escapes
Secret Escapes gives recipients access to hand-picked luxury hotels and holiday packages at members-only prices. Every offer is negotiated by travel experts and checked four times before it appears on the site, so the recipient is choosing from a curated set of stays and trips rather than a general booking engine. For a business, this makes the card a memorable reward or incentive, something closer to giving a holiday than a generic voucher.
GIFQ offers Secret Escapes in two markets: Austria and Germany. The Austrian card is a fixed EUR 50 voucher, and the German card is available as either EUR 50 or EUR 100. The cards are redeemed in euros on www.secretescapes.de, where the recipient needs a free Secret Escapes membership to apply the code. There is no stated expiry date on either card.
Each market is a separate card. A card bought for Austria cannot be redeemed against the German offer and vice versa, even though both are denominated in euros and both point to the same website. When you send a card, choose the market that matches where your recipient is based, because that determines which card they can use. For example, for a team member in Vienna, send the Austrian card; for one in Berlin, send the German card.
The German card suits a wider range of budgets with its two denominations, while the Austrian card is a single amount. Both work the same way for the recipient: they sign in or register on the Secret Escapes site, enter the code in the voucher section of their profile, and the value is added to their account. They can then spend it on any eligible hotel or package on the site, and several codes can be combined on one account.
Businesses use these cards through GIFQ to pay out earnings, bonuses or research incentives to people in Austria and Germany, or to recognise employees and customers with a travel treat. Cards can be sent in bulk from the dashboard, for example when rewarding a sales team across both countries, or issued one at a time through the API as part of an automated payout flow.

Frequently asked questions
In which countries can I send Secret Escapes cards through GIFQ?
GIFQ currently offers Secret Escapes cards for Austria and Germany. These are the only two markets available on the platform.
Can a Secret Escapes card bought for Austria be used in Germany?
No. Each market has its own card, and they are not interchangeable. The Austrian card is for recipients in Austria, and the German card is for recipients in Germany, even though both are redeemed on the same website.
How do I choose between the Austrian and German Secret Escapes cards?
Choose the market where your recipient is based. The card must match the recipient's location because it is tied to that market. The Austrian card is a fixed EUR 50, while the German card offers EUR 50 or EUR 100.
Where can I find the exact amounts and expiry for each Secret Escapes card?
Check the individual market pages for Austria and Germany. The Austrian card is EUR 50 only; the German card is available as EUR 50 or EUR 100. Neither card has a stated expiry date.
What types of recipients would appreciate a Secret Escapes card?
It suits people who enjoy travel or would value a luxury hotel stay or trip. Businesses often use it as a high-value reward for top performers, a special customer thank-you, or a memorable incentive, particularly in Austria and Germany.
Can I send Secret Escapes cards in bulk or through an API?
Yes. You can send cards in bulk from the GIFQ dashboard for multiple recipients or use the API to issue cards one at a time as part of an automated payout or rewards flow.
