Gift cards and e-gift cards can be used as a form of payment using the methods shown on the gift card or e-gift card for new travel bookings sold by Inspire only and cannot be used in conjunction with any other travel provider, travel voucher or promotion.

Standalone Flight, Cruise, Eurotunnel or Ferry products may be booked when using a Gift Card and e-gift card as a form of payment but will attract a booking fee which will be advised at the time of booking. Further travel product limitations may apply, details of such additional limitations are printed on the gift card or provided when the e-gift card is purchased through a card distributor or reseller

Gift cards and e-gift cards may be used to make new bookings for travel products of a higher price than the amount on the card, on payment of the difference.

Cards can be redeemed on new bookings and used as payment towards any outstanding balances on an existing booking. Cards cannot be exchanged for cash or used to buy another gift card or e-gift card.

If a booking with a gift card or e-gift card is subsequently changed or cancelled, any money owing will be refunded back to the original form of payment(s) used to make the booking.
Illustrative Example: a calculated refund of £600 due to cancellation on a £1,000 payment for a booking, where £200 (20%) was paid with a Gift Card, and £800 (80%) was paid on a credit card, would result in £120 (20% of calculated refund amount) refund on to the original gift card used on the booking and £480 (80% of calculated refund amount) refund back to the original payment card used.

If you do not spend the entire balance on the gift card / e-gift card, the remaining balance will be updated after each transaction.
