So you have received a Getaway Gift Card — congratulations! Whether it was a birthday present, a wedding gift, or a well-deserved reward from your employer, you are now holding the key to your next adventure. Redeeming your hotel gift card is quick and straightforward. Here is exactly how to do it, step by step.
Step 1: Go to the Redemption Page
Head to getawaygiftcard.com/redeem — the dedicated page where the redemption process starts. It works on any device.
Step 2: Enter Your Gift Card Code
On the redemption page, you will see a field to enter your unique gift card code. This code was included in your digital gift card email or printed on your physical card. Type or paste the code into the field and click to verify. The system will confirm your card balance and show you how much credit you have available.
Step 3: Search for Your Destination and Dates
Once your gift card is verified, you can start searching for accommodations. Enter your desired destination — a city, region, or specific area — along with your check-in and check-out dates. You can also specify the number of guests and rooms.
The search engine will display all available accommodations in your chosen destination, with real-time pricing and availability. You can filter results by star rating, price range, guest rating, property type, and amenities to find exactly what you are looking for.
Step 4: Browse 3 Million+ Hotels and Pick Your Stay
With access to more than 3 million accommodations worldwide, you have an enormous selection to choose from. The network includes major hotel chains like Hilton, Marriott, IHG, Accor, Best Western, Radisson, and Hyatt, as well as independent boutique hotels, cosy bed and breakfasts, serviced apartments, and luxury resorts.
Take your time browsing. Read guest reviews, check photos, compare amenities, and find the property that matches your travel style and budget. Whether you want a city centre hotel, a countryside retreat, or a beachfront resort, it is all available through a single search.
Step 5: Apply Your Gift Card at Checkout
Once you have found your ideal accommodation, proceed to the booking page. At checkout, your gift card balance will be applied to the total cost of the reservation. The amount is deducted automatically, and you will see a clear breakdown of what the gift card covers and any remaining amount due.
What If the Balance Does Not Cover the Full Booking?
No problem at all. If your chosen accommodation costs more than your gift card balance, you simply pay the difference using any standard payment method — credit card, debit card, or other available options. For example, if your gift card has a balance of 150 euros and the hotel costs 220 euros, you pay the remaining 70 euros at checkout. This flexibility means your gift card never limits your options — it just reduces the cost.
What If There Is Remaining Balance?
If your booking costs less than your gift card value, the remaining balance stays on your card for future use. There is no need to use the entire amount in a single booking. You can make multiple reservations over time until the full value has been used. Your remaining balance is always visible when you log in with your gift card code.
How Long Is My Gift Card Valid?
Your Getaway Gift Card is valid for 24 months from the date of purchase. This gives you plenty of time to plan and book your trip without any rush. Whether you want to book right away or save it for a special occasion months from now, the choice is entirely yours.
Tips for Getting the Best Deal
Here are a few tips to maximise the value of your hotel gift card:
- Book in advance: Hotels in popular destinations tend to be cheaper when booked weeks or months ahead rather than last-minute.
- Be flexible with dates: Midweek stays (Tuesday to Thursday) are often significantly cheaper than weekend stays. If your schedule allows it, you can stretch your gift card further.
- Consider shoulder season: Travelling just before or after peak season gives you better rates and fewer crowds.
- Compare properties: Take the time to browse different hotels in the same area. Prices can vary considerably even for similar quality levels.
- Check for special offers: Some properties offer special rates that provide excellent value.
