Spotlight gift cards by market

About Spotlight

Spotlight is the biggest craft and homeware retailer in Australia and New Zealand, known for fabric, craft supplies, party gear, home interiors, curtains and blinds. A Spotlight gift card is a reward that works for practically anyone who makes things, decorates, or runs a household. That makes it a strong fit for payouts to creative contractors, incentives for community or hobby groups, or a general reward for staff who love DIY and home projects.

GIFQ offers Spotlight gift cards for two separate markets: Australia and New Zealand. A card issued for Australia is denominated in Australian dollars and can only be used in Australian stores and on the Australian website. A card issued for New Zealand is denominated in New Zealand dollars and is only redeemable in that country. They are not interchangeable, so the market you choose must match the country where your recipient lives and shops.

Each market has its own amounts and conditions. In Australia, fixed values run from 10 to 300 AUD. In New Zealand, they run from 10 to 300 NZD with a slightly different list of fixed amounts. Both markets have cards that expire 36 months after purchase. The market pages set out the full amount lists and any redemption notes, such as the rule that no change is given but remaining balances stay on the card for future purchases.

When you send Spotlight through GIFQ, you decide for each recipient which market is appropriate. If you run payouts or rewards across both countries, you can order Australian cards for your Australian people and New Zealand cards for your New Zealand people from one dashboard. The two cards operate independently, so each person gets a card they can spend at Spotlight in their own country, in their own currency.

Common uses on GIFQ include paying out affiliate or creator earnings to Australians and New Zealanders, rewarding team members after a project, or thanking customers and research participants with something more practical than cash. Because Spotlight covers so many home and hobby categories, the card tends to suit a wide range of recipients, from professional sewers to first-home decorators.

You can send the cards in bulk from the GIFQ dashboard or one at a time through the API. The dashboard works well for scheduled rewards or compensation runs, while the API lets you add Spotlight to your own payout flow. For the exact amounts, expiry rules, and redemption details in each country, see the Spotlight Australia and Spotlight New Zealand pages.

Choose the card’s market first

This is the brand’s overview page. The options above are products for different markets; open one to review the details that apply to your order.

  1. Start with where it will be redeemed

    Choose the option for the country where the card will be used. Each listing has its own redemption coverage, making it easier to find the right product for recipients in different markets.

  2. Compare values and conditions

    Currencies, denominations and terms can differ between products from the same brand. Review each market page and its instructions before deciding your selection or calculating the program budget.

  3. Organize orders by product

    For a program covering several countries, prepare the product, market, value and quantity needed for each group. Confirm your account pricing and delivery flow before moving from a test to a larger order.

  4. Decide who chooses the brand

    With a direct order, your business selects the card. If you would rather let each recipient choose, explore recipient-choice payouts and confirm the products supported for your program.

Frequently asked questions

Which countries does GIFQ offer Spotlight gift cards in?

GIFQ offers Spotlight gift cards in Australia and New Zealand. Each country is a separate market with its own currency: Australian dollars for Australia and New Zealand dollars for New Zealand.

Can a Spotlight gift card bought for Australia be used in New Zealand?

No. A Spotlight card for Australia can only be redeemed in Australia, and a New Zealand card only in New Zealand. The cards are not interchangeable, so you need to select the correct market for each recipient.

How do I choose the right market when sending a Spotlight card?

Choose the market based on where your recipient lives and shops. If they are in Australia, send the Australian card. If they are in New Zealand, send the New Zealand card. For multi-country distributions, you can mix both in one order.
