Lastminute.com vouchers

There are different types of lastminute.com gift cards, each restricted to certain types of bookings. To avoid "invalid code" errors, please ensure you are using your card for the correct category.

Lastminute.com Gift Card Feature Comparison

1. Holiday Gift Card UK 🧳

• Best For: Full holiday packages.

• Usage: Valid only for Flight + Hotel packages.

• Restriction: It cannot be used for individual flights or standalone hotel bookings.

• Excluded: Any services requiring payment to a third party upon arrival.

   

 2. Hotel Gift Card UK 🏨

• Best For: Accommodation-only stays.

• Usage: Valid only for Hotels and other accommodations.

• Restriction: You must select "Prepaid" or "Pay Now" rates.

• Excluded: Properties marked "Pay at Hotel" or "Pay on Arrival."

• When searching for flights, lastminute.com sometimes builds its own connections between airlines that don't usually partner (marked with a "Guaranteed Connection" badge). Because these are handled by third-party providers, the Flight Only Gift Card and Travel Gift Card cannot be used for them. You are limited to "standard" airline bookings.

3. Flight Only Gift Card ✈️

• Best For: Getting from A to B.

• Usage: Valid only in the "Flights" section of the website.

• Critical Restriction: Cannot be used for "Guaranteed Connection" flights (usually marked with a badge in the top right of search results) as these are sold by third-party providers.

   

4. Travel Gift Card UK (The All-Rounder)🚊

• Best For: Maximum flexibility or Eurostar trips.

• Usage: Valid for Hotels, Flight + Hotel, and Eurostar (Train + Hotel) packages.

• Restriction: Like the Flight card, it cannot be used for "Guaranteed Connection" flights.

• If you want a city break via train rather than flying, this is the only card of the four that will work. It essentially acts as a combined version of the Hotel and Holiday cards, plus trains.

Common Rules for All Cards

• Validity: 12 months from the date of issue (You must book within 12 months, but your travel date can be later).

• Stacking: Only one gift card can be used per booking. They cannot be combined with other promo codes or refund vouchers.

• Balance: If your booking costs less than the card value, the remaining balance stays on the card for your next trip.

• Non-Refundable: Cards cannot be exchanged for cash or refunded if lost or stolen.

   

Pro Tip: Always search for your trip starting from the specific tab that matches your card (e.g., click the "Hotels" tab first if using a Hotel Gift Card) to ensure the checkout system recognizes your voucher code. Otherwise you will encounter the error "Your voucher is not valid on this site."

Redemption 

If your gift card came with a PIN, you cannot use it directly on the booking page. You must "activate" it first to receive your actual voucher code.

• Step 1 (Activation): Go to mygiftcard.lastminute.com or giftcard.lastminute.com. You enter your PIN and email address here to "unlock" the credit.

• Step 2 (Booking): Once activated, you will receive an email with the final voucher code. You then go to www.lastminute.com to make your booking.

Once you have your final voucher code, you must be on the specific section of the main website that matches your card type. If you try to use a "Flight" card in the "Hotel" tab, it will not work.
