Meet GiftYa, Your Go-To  for Last-Minute Gifts

On the surface, GiftYa is an e-gift card, but it’s so much more than that. Yes, just like any other e-gift card, it can be used easily from a smartphone and keeps track of the gift balance so your favorite traveler doesn’t have to. 

But unlike other digital gift cards, GiftYa can be linked up to a credit card your traveler carries with them every day anyway. Their gift balance will automatically be applied toward their purchases, and they’ll still get to rack up rewards points on their card. That could include miles they can put toward their next adventure.

Choose from thousands of local and national brands to find a gift that your jetsetter is sure to love. Even if they don’t love it, they can exchange it just a couple of clicks for something that they really can use on their adventure.
