Usually not. Most gift cards only work in the country they were issued for.
Depending on the brand, a gift card may only work:
- in shops in that country
- on that country's website or app
- with an account registered in that country
Examples
- Ride and food apps such as Uber, Lyft and DoorDash: the recipient's app account usually needs to be registered in the same country as the gift card.
- Gaming and app stores such as PlayStation, Nintendo and Google Play: codes are region-locked to that country's store.
- Shops with branches in several countries: a UK card generally won't work in the same brand's shops abroad.
Each brand's page on Gift Off says where the card can be used. If you're not sure, check before you buy, because gift cards can't usually be exchanged once issued.
