About travel, leisure & auto gift cards

Travel and leisure cards make sense when the reward should feel like time off rather than shopping credit. They suit employee anniversary gifts, sales incentives, and research compensation where a prepaid hotel stay or flight credit is more motivating than cash. The category includes more than 400 brands, from hotel chains to car rental services and experience platforms.

The best-known option is Marriott, a hotel card that works across many countries and suits international teams. For flexible travel credit, the Global Hotel Card and Global Auto Card powered by Expedia let recipients choose from a wide range of hotels or rental cars. Uber is a practical choice for city transport, and Airbnb covers stays and experiences for people who prefer apartments to hotels.

Coverage is strongest in the United Kingdom and the United States, with the most brands available in those two markets. France and Germany also have large selections. Not every brand is redeemable in every country, so check the specific card's supported markets if your recipients are spread across several regions.

Face values vary by currency. In euros, cards start at 1 EUR and go up to 5000 EUR. In British pounds, they run from 0.01 GBP to 10000 GBP. US dollar cards typically span 1 USD to 5000 USD. That range supports both small thank-yous and major travel rewards.

You can send these cards through GIFQ in bulk from the dashboard or one at a time via the API. A company might use them for a holiday bonus, a market research panel paying participants with travel credit, or an affiliate program rewarding top partners with a hotel stay. If your recipients need everyday spending instead, look at the Prepaid & Payment Cards category for multi-merchant cards, or Food & Drink for restaurant rewards.

One drawback is that travel cards are less useful for recipients who cannot easily travel, whether due to time, location, or visa constraints. For a more immediate reward, consider the Retail & Marketplaces or Electronics categories.

Build a program around the right products

Travel, Leisure & Auto brings together products with a similar use, but currencies, values and redemption requirements can differ. Filter by country and open the listings that fit your program.

For travel and leisure, check the booking channel, location and how a gift card can be applied to a purchase. Match the reward value to the intended use, and review any booking or expiry restrictions before making it part of a campaign.

Four details to check before you order

  1. Market and currency

    Start with where your recipients will use the card. Products from the same brand can serve different countries and currencies, so use the market-specific listing to find the right version for each group.

  2. Face value and quantity

    Use the denominations or value range shown for the product to plan your order. The face value is what the recipient can spend; your account price is what you pay. Together with the quantity, these give you the information needed to budget for the program.

  3. Redemption and expiry

    The brand’s instructions explain how a recipient uses the reward, including any account requirements or online and in-store options. Include the expiry information with the reward. Our team can help with any details missing from the listing.

  4. Delivery and order status

    Decide who should receive the digital reward and how it will reach them. Start with a small order to check your delivery flow. Keep the order reference, and check its status before repeating an order that appears delayed. For an integration, test the relevant API flow first.

Bring a clear brief to the pricing conversation

Tell us the countries, preferred brands, reward amounts and expected monthly volume. Add whether your business or the recipient will choose the reward, along with any deadline or integration needs. We can use that brief to discuss a suitable selection and account pricing.
