Send Bulk Gift Cards With No Platform Fees

How to send bulk digital gift cards

The best way to distribute gift cards at scale depends on your program. Giftbit offers the following paths to send gift cards in bulk, whatever your use case.

Upload a spreadsheet to the Giftbit web app

Best for: one-time and occasional sends

Workflow: Upload your contact list to the gift card platform in either a CSV, TSV, or XLSX format, decide what digital reward you want to give your audience, fund your account, and click ‘send.’

Example: I need to send 75 employee gifts to Europe this afternoon.

Explore the platform

Connect your gift card program to tools and software you already use

Best for: recurring reward workflows and campaigns

Workflow: Use a simple Zapier connection to quickly link your bulk sending campaign with tools like Airtable, BambooHR, Google Docs, HubSpot, Salesforce, Typeform, Qualtrics, and thousands more. No code needed.

Example: Every time a participant completes a qualifying survey in Qualtrics, I need to instantly and automatically send them a $25 Amazon gift card.

Automate with the Giftbit API

Best for: Custom reward workflows and building experiences into your own app, platform or internal system.

Workflow: Developers start with the API docs and access the Testbed environment. With a live production key they'll use the gift card API to connect reward ordering, delivery and tracking directly to your system.

Example: Our loyalty app processes hundreds of points redemptions a day. I need each customer’s chosen gift card to be issued automatically, with its delivery and claim status synced back to their account.

Give everyone a reward they really want, with a delightful recipient journey from beginning to end

Sending hundreds or even thousands of gift cards doesn’t have to feel impersonal or needlessly complicated. Give each and every recipient a branded message from your organization, followed by a simple, intuitive reward experience designed to work wherever they are.

Choose the gift card or prepaid card brand yourself, offer a curated selection, or let people explore the full catalog. They’ll see options available for their country and currency, and they won’t need to create a Giftbit account or download a separate app to claim their reward.

Here’s what your recipients’ experience will look like →

1. Receive a personalized message

They get an email or other communication featuring your logo, sender name and custom message, so they’ll know who the reward is from and why they’re receiving it.

2. Claim it without extra hurdles

Recipients follow the secure reward link to make their selection and access their digital reward.

3. Get help when it’s needed

No internal support tickets. Monitor delivery and claim status, follow up when needed, and rely on Giftbit’s support team to help both you and everyone you send to.

Everything you need to track, manage, and scale a rewards program

Sending gift cards in bulk shouldn’t create a mountain of administrative work. Giftbit gives you the tools and hands-on support to manage every stage of your campaign—from uploading recipients and personalizing rewards to tracking delivery and following up on unclaimed gifts.

Whether you’re sending 50 rewards once or managing thousands of recurring sends, you can:

Track every gift card delivery from send through to delivery and even redemption, so you always know where your rewards (and your budget) stand.

Follow up on undelivered and/or unclaimed rewards

Set a claim-by date at no extra cost and recover a portion of the value of eligible unclaimed rewards.

Receive human-in-the-loop support for you and your recipients

Manage teammates, access and funding (i.e., what you need to keep finance and management teams happy)

Customize messaging and branding

Protect your account and reward delivery, with SOC 2 compliance and more security features that make it easy for IT and security teams to say ‘yes.’

Frequently asked questions about sending bulk gift cards

Am I able to send individual emails, not bulk?

Yes. Giftbit also makes it easy to send individual rewards, not just bulk sends. These can work really well for one-off recognition and thank-yous. Simply add a single contact and send a personalized gift.

What is the fee per gift card?

For most rewards, there’s no extra fee per gift, so you only pay the face value of the card you send! The only exceptions are a few prepaid cards (like physical Visa or Mastercard), which have a small processing or shipping fee. There’s also an added 2.9% fee if you fund your account by credit card.

Where can I order egift cards in bulk for our staff?

While you can buy physical cards at a retail store, it’s a manual process with zero visibility. Once you leave the store, that money is gone, whether your employee uses the card or loses it.

For this reason, many organizations opt to work with a gift card distributor. For example, you can order egift cards through Giftbit’s intuitive web application or by integrating our developer-friendly API.

Can I send bulk gift cards internationally?

Yes. Giftbit offers more than 1,500 localized reward options across 40+ countries, plus prepaid-card support for recipients in 150+ countries. Your audience will see gift cards and prepaid options available for their location and currency, and Giftbit handles currency conversion for free. You can check the available countries and rewards before you send here: International Digital Rewards

Can I automate bulk gift card sends?

You can automate bulk gift card sends with a no-code Zapier connection to trigger Giftbit rewards from tools like HubSpot, Salesforce, Typeform, and Qualtrics. For custom workflows or rewards embedded in your own product, use the Giftbit API. You can also schedule future deliveries directly through the web app.

What happens if a bulk reward is not delivered or claimed?

Giftbit’s detailed reporting lets you see which rewards were delivered and claimed, so you’ll know when something needs attention. If delivery fails (perhaps because of, say, a typo in your contact info, or a strict spam filter), you can follow up, and Giftbit’s support team is available to help both you and your recipient as needed.

For unclaimed rewards, you have two options. Standard rewards remain available to claim, while Promotional rewards can have a claim-by date set at no extra cost. If a Promotional reward isn’t claimed by that date, a portion of its value is returned to your Giftbit balance.
