Where to Buy Hotel Gift Cards in Europe

Step-by-step guide for purchasing a Hotelgiftcard.com card, the broadest-coverage option for NL, BE, DE, and FR buyers:

1. Go to hotelgiftcard.com and select the country version matching your location: en-nl for Netherlands, en-be for Belgium, en-de for Germany, or en-fr for France.
2. Enter the gift card amount, between €10 and €500. Provide the recipient's name and email, or your own if buying for personal use.
3. **Choose a payment method.** iDEAL is accepted on the Netherlands platform. Visa and Mastercard work on all country versions.
4. Receive the code by email. Delivery is instant after successful payment.
5. Search for accommodation on hotelgiftcard.com, using the same country version you purchased on.
