Lastminute.com gift cards
A Lastminute.com gift card is travel credit in the form of a code, entered on the Lastminute.com booking summary before a trip is confirmed.
It goes towards flights, hotel stays and combined flight and hotel bookings made through the Lastminute.com site for the matching country.
About Lastminute.com gift cards
Lastminute.com is an online travel agency used to search and book flights, hotels and city breaks that pair a flight with a room. A gift card suits someone planning a short trip or a longer holiday who would rather choose their own dates, airline and hotel than receive a fixed itinerary.
Face values run from small amounts suitable for a contribution towards a booking up to larger sums, in euros, pounds sterling, Swedish kronor and Hungarian forint depending on the country the card is issued for. It sits alongside other prepaid gift cards as a present for travellers who book their own trips.
How to redeem a Lastminute.com gift card
The code is used as a coupon during booking rather than loaded onto an account balance, so it needs to be entered before the booking is confirmed.
- Go to lastminute.com and pick Flights, Hotels or Flights + Hotels from the top menu.
- Enter your search criteria: departure city, destination and travel dates.
- Choose the option you want from the search results.
- Fill in the passenger details on the booking summary page.
- Enter the gift card code in the "Do you have a discount code or coupon?" section and select Apply.
- Confirm with Book now to complete the booking.
Choosing the right region
Lastminute.com gift cards are issued for a specific country site and currency, so a card bought for one country is intended for bookings made on that country's version of Lastminute.com. Match the card to the country the traveller books from, and to the currency they expect to pay in.
One global option is also listed for cases where no particular country site is specified. If you are buying as a present, check which country the recipient normally uses before choosing.
Regions currently listed for Lastminute.com: Italy, United Kingdom, Germany, Ireland, Spain. Use the region filter beside the results to see the cards for one country.
Common questions
- Can I use a Lastminute.com gift card in another country?
- A card is tied to the country site and currency it was issued for. Buying a card for a different country than the one the traveller books on can mean the code is not accepted.
- How do I receive the code?
- The code is delivered to your order once payment completes, and it is then entered in the coupon field during booking.
- What can the card be spent on?
- It goes towards flights, hotel stays and combined flight and hotel bookings made through Lastminute.com. The code is applied at the booking summary stage before confirmation.
- What happens if my booking costs more than the card?
- The card covers part of the booking value and the remainder is paid using your usual payment method at checkout. Any rules on unused value are set by Lastminute.com and shown with the card details.
- Can I use the code after a booking is confirmed?
- No. The code has to be entered on the booking summary page before you confirm, as it is applied as a coupon during the booking process.
