Buyagift FAQs

How to Save Money at Buyagift

Always check the Special Offers section before browsing the full catalogue

Buyagift’s Special Offers section lists pre-discounted experiences with no code required. The savings here are already applied to the price and can be substantial, with selected experiences discounted by up to 50%. Browsing here first means you often find the experience you want at a lower price than the main catalogue before you even factor in a promo code on top.

Use the Best Price Guarantee as an active savings tool, not just a safety net

If you find the same experience listed cheaper elsewhere online within 14 days of purchasing from Buyagift, they will refund 150% of the difference, up to £250. This means you come out ahead compared to buying from the cheaper source in the first place.

In practice, this is worth acting on rather than ignoring. Checking the experience price on one or two comparable sites before buying, and then again briefly after purchasing, takes a few minutes and can result in money back if you find a lower price. The 150% refund rate means the return on that check is unusually good.

Sign up to the newsletter before making your first purchase

New newsletter subscribers receive a welcome discount, and the newsletter sends exclusive promotional codes that are not published on the main site. Signing up before you browse and buy means you have access to the best available code at the point of purchase rather than discovering it afterwards.

Refer a friend for 20% off for both of you

Buyagift runs a referral scheme where both the referrer and the new customer receive 20% off. If you are buying for someone who has never used Buyagift before, sending your unique referral link before they complete their purchase applies the discount for both of you simultaneously.

Combine a sitewide sale with a promo code for the largest possible discount

Buyagift regularly runs percentage-off sales around key gifting dates. When a sitewide sale is already running, applying a promo code on top of the reduced price can stack the savings further where the terms allow. The Special Offers section and a live promo code used together represent the strongest combination available at any given time.


What Buyagift Gets Right

Buyagift has been operating since 1999 and is one of the UK’s most established experience gifting platforms, covering over 4,500 experiences from spa days and afternoon tea to supercar drives, skydives, hot air balloon flights, short breaks and cookery classes. The breadth is the starting point, but a few specific things set it apart from simply buying an experience directly.

The voucher flexibility is genuinely useful. Most gift experiences bought directly with an activity provider are non-refundable and tied to a specific date or window. Buyagift vouchers give 12 months of validity, can be exchanged up to three times before booking, and can be extended twice if needed. For a gift that needs to fit around someone else’s schedule, that flexibility removes the risk that the gift becomes awkward or wasted.

The Best Price Guarantee is unusually aggressive. 150% of the price difference, up to £250, is not a standard price match. Most retailers offer a straight match or a modest uplift. The 150% return means there is a genuine financial incentive to check comparable prices before and after buying, and that the guarantee does real work rather than existing as a quiet confidence signal most customers never trigger.

The e-voucher option makes last-minute gifting genuinely reliable. An e-voucher ordered at 11pm on the night before a birthday arrives instantly. The ability to send it directly to the recipient’s email or to yourself to forward at the right moment solves the logistics problem that makes experience gifting feel risky as a last-minute purchase.

The experience catalogue covers both giver and recipient perspectives well. Categories include experiences for two (useful for romantic gifts), solo adventures, family days out, food and drink, and short breaks, which means the site works for gift purchases where you know someone’s rough interests but not the exact experience they would choose. The flexibility to switch experiences after purchase gives the recipient a degree of choice without removing the thought from the gift.
