What are Tab Gift Cards?
Gift Cards are inspired by the incredible global response to helping independent businesses during the COVID-19 crisis. We saw how many people wanted to support their favourite businesses, and Gift Cards are a way for them to be able to do that.
Gift Cards enable your loyal guests (and new ones) to pay now for future stays - giving customers the opportunity to support your business even if they do not intend to redeem their Gift Card.
Transfers will be possible, so your guests can purchase Gift Cards for friends and family too if they wish!
