About VisitBritain United Kingdom
VisitBritain is the national tourism agency for Great Britain and Northern Ireland, and its gift card opens up a catalogue of tours, attractions and experiences that play to British strengths: historic sites, theatre breaks, guided walks and day trips. For a business with recipients based in the UK, the card is a way to give a reward that feels like a day out rather than a discount code. For a recipient living abroad, it is less useful unless they have a UK trip planned, since the card only works on the VisitBritain Shop for products across Great Britain and Northern Ireland.
The card is loaded with any amount from £20 to £250 in pounds sterling, so a buyer can match the face value to the occasion: a modest token for a research participant, a more substantial sum for a top performer, the top of the range for a long-service award. There is no stated expiry on the card, which means a recipient can hold it until they find an experience that suits them. The balance can be used for full or part payment on the VisitBritain Shop, and if a booking costs more than the card value, the recipient pays the difference with another payment method.
A recipient redeems the card online at visitbritainshop.com. At checkout, they enter the 16-digit card number and PIN; the balance is then deducted from the basket. The card is issued in the UK and cannot be refunded or exchanged for cash or credit once activated. It is not split across multiple purchases in a way that would require the buyer to manage partial balances, but it can be used across more than one booking until the balance is spent.
GIFQ lets a business send VisitBritain cards to UK recipients in bulk from the dashboard or one at a time through the API. That covers paying out earnings to creators or contractors based in Britain, thanking customers who have attended an event or joined a loyalty scheme, and rewarding employees without tying the value to a specific purchase. Because the card sits with the VisitBritain brand, it also suits programmes where the reward itself carries a sense of occasion.
The main limitation is scope: the card is not interchangeable with any card in another country, and it only works for the VisitBritain Shop. If a company has a team spread across Europe, some UK employees might book a theatre break while a colleague in Germany cannot use the same card. Buyers should check that the people they are rewarding are likely to travel within Britain or be able to gift the card to someone who can.
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
Use the brand’s instructions to prepare a clear handover to the recipient, including any account or redemption-channel requirements. Ask our team about expiry if it is not listed, then include that information with the reward.
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.
Frequently asked questions
Where can the VisitBritain gift card be used?
The card is redeemable online at the VisitBritain Shop for participating tours, attractions and experiences across Great Britain and Northern Ireland. It cannot be used in physical VisitBritain information centres or for products sold outside the VisitBritain Shop.
What amounts can I load onto the card?
The card can be loaded with any amount from £20 to £250 in pounds sterling. There is no fixed denomination, so you can choose a value that matches your programme, from a small thank you to a major award.
Does the VisitBritain gift card expire?
The card has no stated expiry date, so recipients can hold onto it until they find an experience they want to book. However, the card itself cannot be refunded or exchanged for cash once activated, so the value is locked into VisitBritain Shop purchases.
How does a recipient redeem the card?
At checkout on the VisitBritain Shop, the recipient enters the 16-digit card number and PIN and clicks Apply. The balance is deducted from the basket. If the booking costs more than the card balance, the recipient pays the remaining amount with another payment method.
Can the VisitBritain card be used outside the UK?
No. The card is issued for the United Kingdom and can only be used on the VisitBritain Shop for products in Great Britain and Northern Ireland. It is not interchangeable with any card in another country, so a recipient outside the UK would need to arrange travel or pass the card to someone in Britain.
How do I send VisitBritain cards to multiple people through GIFQ?
You can send VisitBritain gift cards in bulk from the GIFQ dashboard or individually through the API. This works for paying out earnings to UK-based creators, rewarding employees, thanking customers, or compensating research participants. GIFQ handles the delivery of card numbers and PINs to your recipients.
