Tesco gift cards by market
About Tesco
Tesco is a familiar name to households across Ireland and the United Kingdom, and for many recipients a Tesco card will simply mean one less weekly shop to pay for. The card works in Tesco stores for groceries and far beyond: home goods, technology, clothing and everyday essentials. For a business, it is a practical reward that covers a large part of everyday spending.
GIFQ offers the Tesco card in two separate markets: Ireland and the United Kingdom. In Ireland it is issued in euros with loads from €1 to €500; in the UK it is issued in pounds sterling with loads from £0.50 to £500. Both markets allow any amount within that range, and both cards are valid for five years from load or last use.
Each market is its own card. A Tesco Ireland card is redeemable only in Tesco stores in Ireland and holds a euro value; a Tesco United Kingdom card is redeemable only in UK stores and holds a pound value. Check the market page for the country where your recipient lives or shops. If you are rewarding a team spread across both countries, you would send the Irish card to people in Ireland and the UK card to people in the UK.
Tesco works well for payouts and rewards where the recipient values choice over a single product or experience. It suits research participants who need to cover their own groceries, affiliate rewards where the earner is an everyday consumer, and employee incentives where a supermarket shop is almost universally useful. The in-store redemption is straightforward for recipients who already visit Tesco regularly; it is less suitable for someone who only shops online, since the card cannot be spent on Tesco's website.
Through GIFQ you can send Tesco cards in bulk from the dashboard for team rewards, customer incentives or research payouts, and you can issue a single card through the API for one-off compensation or a specific earner. The currency is automatically set by the market, so a recipient in Ireland receives euros and a recipient in the UK receives pounds, with no exchange-rate confusion.
To see the exact amounts, expiry details and redemption steps for each country, visit the Tesco Ireland or Tesco United Kingdom page. They list the load range, validity period and how the recipient uses the card in store.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 is the Tesco gift card available in through GIFQ?
GIFQ offers Tesco cards in Ireland and the United Kingdom. Each is a separate market with its own currency: euros in Ireland and pounds sterling in the UK.
Can a Tesco Ireland card be used in the UK, or a UK card in Ireland?
No. Each card is valid only in its own market. A Tesco Ireland card works only in Tesco stores in Ireland and holds euros; a Tesco United Kingdom card works only in UK stores and holds pounds.
How do I choose the right Tesco market for a recipient?
Choose the market where the recipient lives or shops. If they are in Ireland, send the Tesco Ireland card; if in the UK, send the Tesco United Kingdom card. For a group across both countries, send each person the card for their own country.
Where can I find the load amounts, expiry and redemption instructions for each market?
The Tesco Ireland and Tesco United Kingdom market pages list the load range, any fixed denominations, validity and how the recipient uses the card in store. The load range is also shown on this page.
What kinds of recipients is the Tesco gift card good for?
Tesco suits recipients who do regular grocery or household shopping in Ireland or the UK, such as employees, research participants, customers in loyalty programmes and affiliates. It is less suitable for people who primarily shop online, as the card is for in-store use only.
Can I send Tesco cards in bulk or as one-off payouts through GIFQ?
Yes. You can send Tesco cards in bulk from the GIFQ dashboard for incentives or rewards, or issue a single card through the API for an individual payout. You do not need to specify currency separately because each card is issued in the market's own currency.
