About Tesco United Kingdom
The Tesco UK gift card is a digital card in pounds sterling for businesses that pay or reward people in the United Kingdom. It is accepted in Tesco stores across the UK, where recipients can buy groceries, homeware, clothing, and electronics. Keep in mind that this card is only for the UK market and cannot be used in Tesco stores in Ireland.
You can load any amount from £0.50 up to £500, with no fixed denominations. This flexibility lets you send the exact value that matches your payout or incentive, whether it is a small thank-you or a larger reward. The card remains valid for five years from the date it is loaded or last used.
Recipients use this card in store only. They present the digital gift card at the till, either printed or on their mobile device, and the Tesco colleague scans the barcode. If the barcode does not scan, the colleague can manually enter the 19-digit card number and 4-digit PIN, or the recipient can get help at the customer service desk. The card cannot be used online.
With GIFQ, you can send Tesco UK gift cards in bulk from the dashboard, which suits team incentives, customer loyalty programs, or compensation for research participants across the country. You can also send them individually through the API when you need a one-off payout. The value is always in pounds sterling, so the recipient receives exactly what you intend.
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.
