A Getaway Gift Card is a genuinely different way to show appreciation — an experience gift instead of flowers, chocolates or another gift basket. It's ideal as a thank you gift for someone who did you a favour, a friend who helped you, or the person who seems to have everything: rather than guessing their taste, you let them choose their own hotel from over 3 million worldwide. That freedom is what makes it a unique, meaningful thank you gift for a friend, a couple, or someone special.
