GetYourGuide gift cards: prices, discounts, and how to redeem them

How GetYourGuide gift cards work

A GetYourGuide gift card is bought directly on getyourguide.com and delivered by email so it can be printed or redeemed straight from an inbox. Here's what applies regardless of the amount you choose:

Because the purchase is final and non-refundable, it's worth double-checking the recipient's name and amount before you pay.

Can you get a discount on the gift card itself?

This is the question most people searching for "GetYourGuide gift cards" actually want answered, and the honest answer is: not really, not from GetYourGuide directly. There's no confirmed official promotion that sells a $100 gift card for less than $100. Some resale and gifting platforms advertise GetYourGuide-branded gift options, but read the fine print before assuming it's a discount.

Sites like Giftly, for example, sell a general prepaid gift that suggests spending it at GetYourGuide, but the recipient redeems it for cash or a bank/PayPal transfer through Giftly's own site rather than getting an actual GetYourGuide voucher code. That's a different product from a real GetYourGuide gift card, even though it's marketed alongside the brand name. If your goal is a genuine GetYourGuide balance that applies automatically at GetYourGuide checkout, buying directly from getyourguide.com is the more reliable route.

Discounts you can still use around a gift card purchase

While the gift card face value itself isn't discounted, a couple of standing offers affect what you pay overall when you shop or book with GetYourGuide:

• New customer sign-up, around 10% off, new accounts only, one use per user
• Student discount via Student Beans, reported anywhere from 10% to 40% depending on the market and promotion running
• Seasonal sales like Black Friday and the recurring "Travel Deal Tuesday," shown as marked-down prices rather than a code

New customer email sign-up discount

GetYourGuide's own site lists a discount for first-time users who sign up with their email, reported at around 10% off. It's for new accounts only, limited to one use per user, and applies to bookings rather than to the gift card purchase price. Last verified as active on GetYourGuide's own discount code page as of July 2026.

Student discount via Student Beans

GetYourGuide participates in Student Beans' student verification program in some markets, but the exact percentage isn't consistent across sources, with figures ranging from 10% to as high as 40% depending on the promotion running at the time. Treat any specific number here as unconfirmed until you see it applied at your own checkout after verifying your student status. See our student discount coverage for the wider picture.

Seasonal and flash sales

GetYourGuide runs periodic sales, including Black Friday and a recurring "Travel Deal Tuesday" promotion, where discounts on activities and tours are shown directly on the site rather than through a code you enter. These sales affect what a gift card balance can buy, not the price of the card, but they're worth timing a large purchase around if you're buying a card to use later.

Redeeming a gift card

1. Add an activity, tour, or ticket to your cart on getyourguide.com or in the app.
2. Go to checkout and continue to the payment step.
3. Look for "Enter promo, credit, or gift code" in the order summary, just above the total.
4. Type in the gift card's code exactly as it appears on the card or in the confirmation email.
5. Click "Redeem" and confirm the discount is reflected in the total before you pay.

If the booking costs more than the card's balance, you pay the difference on your card or another method. If it costs less, the remaining balance stays on the gift card for a future booking.

Gifting a specific experience instead of a generic amount

One thing unique to how GetYourGuide gift cards work: instead of only sending a flat dollar amount, you can gift one specific activity. On any activity page, there's a "Give this as a gift" link that opens the gift card purchase flow with that exact tour or ticket pre-filled as the suggestion for the recipient. They still get the flexibility to redeem it toward anything on the site, but the gift itself feels more personal than a plain balance.

Where a gift card can't be used

• Reserve Now & Pay Later isn't compatible. That payment method holds your spot with a card authorization and charges you later, and gift codes can't be applied against it. Pay in full instead if you want to use a gift card.
• Only one promo code per booking. Two percentage-off codes can't be stacked together.
• A gift card plus one promo code usually works together, since the gift card acts more like a payment method than a discount code, rather than competing with the one-code-per-booking rule.

Why a gift card or code might not work

• It's expired or tied to a past sale, like a Black Friday code, and coupon sites are often slow to pull listings once a sale ends
• Region mismatch, since a code or card issued for one country's GetYourGuide site may not work on another country's site or currency
• You booked with Reserve Now & Pay Later, which doesn't accept gift or promo codes at all — switch to pay-in-full to fix it
• Wrong field or wrong code, mixing up a gift card number with an activity voucher number from a past booking, since they're formatted differently and entered in different places

Buying through third-party resellers: what to know

Beyond Giftly, sites like CoinGate, beCHARGE, and various European gift marketplaces list GetYourGuide-branded cards, sometimes payable in cryptocurrency or split across installments. These can be legitimate ways to buy a card, but confirm before paying whether you're receiving an actual GetYourGuide redemption code or a third-party voucher that converts to cash first. The safest way to guarantee a real, directly redeemable GetYourGuide gift card is still buying it on getyourguide.com itself.
