How to Send Bulk Gift Cards the Easy Way

Are you a company that wants to send bulk gift cards to your employees? Maybe you’re hoping to send Amazon, DoorDash or Starbucks gift cards to a list of clients or sales prospects? 

It seems like a simple enough goal, but buying and sending gift cards in bulk can be surprisingly complicated. Believe it or not, many bulk gift card vendors require you to share a W-9 for your business and go through a registration process that can take several days. Plus, if you’re looking to send gift cards internationally, you’re usually out of luck.

Fortunately, there is a much easier way to send bulk gift cards right away. Best of all, you only pay for gift cards that your recipients accept, a massive opportunity to reduce wasted spend.

How companies can send bulk gift cards — the easy way

Here at Goody, we’ve set up a flow that makes buying and sending bulk gift cards (domestic or global) super easy — and an amazing experience for your recipients.

Here's how sending bulk gift cards on Goody is different from conventional options out there:

🤑 You only pay for gift cards that your recipients accept. For most companies, that reduces wasted spend by 20% or more.

🔀 Your recipients can swap gift cards for alternative brands if they prefer. For example, they could swap a $50 Whole Foods gift card for a $50 Airbnb gift card.

📈 You can send 1,000+ gift cards at once by uploading a CSV.

🌎 You can send bulk gift cards internationally, in your recipients’ local currency, to dozens of supported countries.

How to send bulk gift cards in minutes

1. Sign up for Goody Pro. A software plan designed specifically for business gifting at scale, Goody Pro costs $25 per month (or $20 per month with annual billing). It allows you to send thousands of gifts and gift cards at the same time, schedule gift sends, add custom cards and digital branding, send gifts internationally, and much more. You can sign up with a credit card and cancel anytime.

2. Choose the gift card you want to send. Goody offers dozens of popular gift card options, like Whole Foods, DoorDash, Uber, Airbnb, Starbucks, and of course, Amazon. Or, if you want to send gift cards internationally, you can filter by country to see options available in your recipient’s region.

3. Add a digital card and message. You can find a card for any occasion, whether it’s client appreciation, employee recognition, birthdays, anniversaries, or holidays. Or if you want custom branding, you can design and upload your own! You can use dynamic text like “first name” to personalize your message for every recipient.

4. Upload a CSV of your recipients. All you need is their first name, last name (optional), and email address. (You can include phone numbers if you’d like to notify your recipients via SMS.) No mailing address is needed, because your gift card is sent digitally. 

5. Choose how you want to send. You can have Goody notify your recipients via email or SMS. Alternatively, you can get a Landing Page link to insert in your emails and incorporate in your own communications. You recipients will just click the link and enter their email address to claim their gift card.

• 💡 Pro tip: Enabling gift swaps is a great idea. It allows your recipients to swap your gift card for alternative options if they prefer, at no additional cost to you.

‍6. Pay only for accepted gift cards, and track results. After you’ve sent out your bulk gift cards, you can monitor redemptions and even thank you notes on your Track page. Remember, you’re only charged after your recipient accepts your gift card!
