How to send a Gift Card to someone in another country

Sending a gift card abroad? Choose one for the recipient’s country, then check their marketplace, account region or local service. Explore options for Germany, the UK, the US and Canada.

by Marius Ionut Serban••20 min read
Quick answer: Yes, you can send a digital gift card to someone in another country. The safest approach is to buy a card made for the recipient's country, storefront, or account region. Someone in Germany may need Amazon Germany for Amazon.de or Apple Germany for a German Apple Account—not the equivalent card from the sender's country.

When your brother lives in Germany, your friend studies in Canada, or your daughter has moved to the UK, the useful question is not “Which card can I buy here?” It is “Which card can they redeem there?”

If you are choosing a gift card for someone in another country, start with the recipient's country and match the card to a brand they actually use. That is the safest way to send a gift card abroad without assuming the code is universal. For digital ecosystems such as Apple and PlayStation, confirm the account or store region too.

The gift travels internationally. The gift card itself can still be local.

Sending a Gift Card to Someone in Germany

If you need a gift card for someone in Germany, choose according to where they shop or which account they use. These three options cover flexible shopping, the Apple ecosystem, and gaming.

For flexible shopping

Amazon Germany Gift Card

A practical option when the recipient shops on Amazon.de but you do not want to guess the exact book, household item, accessory, or technology product they need.

  • Best for: someone who already uses Amazon.de.
  • Why it works: the recipient chooses among eligible products on the German marketplace.
  • Check before buying: confirm Amazon.de is their intended marketplace; Amazon.com and Amazon.co.uk cards are different products.

For an Apple user

Apple Germany Gift Card

Choose Apple Germany when the person uses a German Apple Account and would value the freedom to select an eligible Apple product, accessory, app, service, or subscription.

  • Best for: an Apple user whose account storefront is Germany.
  • Why it works: it keeps the final Apple purchase with the recipient.
  • Check before buying: verify the Apple Account country; living in Germany does not automatically mean the account is German.

For a PlayStation gamer

PlayStation Germany Gift Card

This is the focused choice for a player with a German PlayStation account who wants credit toward eligible games, add-ons, subscriptions, virtual currency, or other PlayStation Store content.

  • Best for: a PS5 or PS4 player with a Germany-region account.
  • Why it works: the gamer decides what to download next.
  • Check before buying: the voucher region must match the PlayStation account region.

Sending a Gift Card to Someone in the UK

A gift card for someone in the UK should fit the marketplace, account, or local service they use. Amazon and Apple preserve choice; Just Eat turns the gift into a practical meal.

For flexible shopping

Amazon UK Gift Card

Amazon UK suits someone who shops through Amazon.co.uk and would prefer to choose the eligible product, model, size, or household item themselves.

  • Best for: a recipient who regularly uses Amazon.co.uk.
  • Why it works: GBP shopping value leaves the final purchase open.
  • Check before buying: confirm Amazon.co.uk is the intended marketplace, not Amazon.com, Amazon.de, or another regional store.

For an Apple user

Apple United Kingdom Gift Card

This card gives a UK Apple user room to choose among eligible products, accessories, apps, services, and subscriptions instead of making the technical decision for them.

  • Best for: someone with a United Kingdom Apple Account.
  • Why it works: the gift can support either a digital service or a larger Apple purchase.
  • Check before buying: an Irish Apple Account requires the Irish product, not the UK version.

For a meal at home

Just Eat UK Gift Card

Just Eat UK is useful when the recipient would appreciate takeaway or delivery more than another object. The code is redeemed to Just Eat UK Account Credit for eligible local orders.

  • Best for: a student, busy relative, new parent, or friend who orders locally.
  • Why it works: the recipient chooses the restaurant and meal available for their postcode.
  • Check before buying: confirm they use Just Eat UK and have or can create a full account.

Sending a Gift Card to Someone in the US

For a gift card for someone in the USA, the strongest choices connect to a US marketplace, a US account, or a service they can use locally.

For flexible shopping

Amazon US Gift Card

Amazon US works well for someone who shops on Amazon.com and prefers to choose among eligible technology, books, household items, clothing, or everyday purchases.

  • Best for: a recipient whose normal marketplace is Amazon.com.
  • Why it works: it is broad without being disconnected from a store they use.
  • Check before buying: do not substitute it for Amazon Canada, UK, Germany, or another marketplace-specific card.

For an Apple user

Apple USA Gift Card

An Apple USA card keeps the choice with someone who uses the US Apple ecosystem, whether they want an eligible accessory, app, game, service, subscription, or contribution toward a product.

  • Best for: an Apple user with a United States Apple Account.
  • Why it works: it avoids guessing their device, model, storage, or preferred service.
  • Check before buying: Apple states that its gift cards cannot be redeemed outside the country or region of purchase.

For food or a ride

Uber Eats USA Gift Card

This is a practical choice for someone who already uses Uber or Uber Eats in the United States. The recipient can apply the resulting Uber Cash toward eligible local services.

  • Best for: a student, commuter, traveler, or friend who orders food.
  • Why it works: it can become a useful meal or ride instead of another item to store.
  • Check before buying: Uber says US Uber Cash cannot be redeemed outside the United States or where the service is unavailable.

Sending a Gift Card to Someone in Canada

If you need a gift card for someone in Canada, choose a Canadian marketplace, account, or service rather than assuming a US card will work across the border. Amazon, PlayStation, and Uber Eats cover shopping, gaming, and everyday convenience.

For flexible shopping

Amazon Canada Gift Card

Amazon Canada is a practical choice when the recipient shops on Amazon.ca but you do not want to guess which eligible book, household item, accessory, or technology product they need.

  • Best for: someone who already shops on Amazon.ca.
  • Why it works: the recipient chooses among eligible products on the Canadian marketplace.
  • Check before buying: confirm Amazon.ca is their intended marketplace; Amazon.com and other regional Amazon cards are separate products.
Browse Amazon Canada Gift Card
For a PlayStation gamer

PlayStation Canada Gift Card

A Canadian PlayStation card gives a player control over eligible games, add-ons, subscriptions, virtual currency, or other content available through their regional PlayStation Store.

  • Best for: a PS5 or PS4 player with a Canada-region account.
  • Why it works: the player chooses what fits their library and wish list.
  • Check before buying: the voucher region must match the PlayStation account region.

For everyday convenience

Uber Eats Canada Gift Card

Uber Eats Canada can turn a cross-border gift into an eligible meal or local service the recipient selects for themselves, subject to availability in their area.

  • Best for: a busy friend, student, relative, or frequent app user.
  • Why it works: it offers choice without requiring you to know their favorite restaurant.
  • Check before buying: confirm the recipient uses Uber or Uber Eats in Canada and that service is available locally.

Choose the Country First, Then Check the Account

“International” usually describes how you send the gift, not where one code can be redeemed. Before buying, identify which of these three boundaries controls the product:

Marketplace

Amazon cards should match the regional site the recipient uses, such as Amazon.de, Amazon.co.uk, or Amazon.com.

Account region

Apple and PlayStation cards should match the country or storefront attached to the recipient's account.

Local service

Food and mobility cards depend on the correct national service and availability at the recipient's location.

If the recipient lives in one country but keeps an account registered in another, ask before buying. For the full explanation, read how gift card region locks work.
