Using Your Gift Card

How do I redeem my gift card on lastminute.com?
Follow these simple steps:

What happens if my booking costs less than my gift card value?
If your booking total is less than your gift card value, the remaining balance will stay on your gift card for future use. For instance, if you have a £49.99 gift card and book a £30 package, you'll have £19.99 remaining for your next booking.
Can I combine multiple gift cards on one booking?
No, only one gift card can be used per booking. However, you can use your remaining balance from previous bookings on future purchases.
Do gift cards expire?

Where do I use the 15% discount code?
The discount code is exclusively for use on travelgiftcard.lastminute.com, not the main lastminute.com website. This allows you to purchase discounted travel gift cards for future use or as gifts.
What's the maximum discount I can get?
