How to redeem a Zara gift card
Zara offers electronic gift cards and physical gift cards. E-gift cards are sent to you via email, while a physical card is bought in-store.
What both of these cards have in common, however, is that they need to be activated before you can use them.
If you’re shopping in-store, this can be done while you’re checking out. You’ll need to print or save your e-gift card if you’re using it in-store, so you can show it to the sales assistant.
If you’re buying online, you can just go to the gift card activation page on the brand’s website and fill out the form.
You can then just choose the gift card option when paying for your purchase, enter the card details and complete your purchase.

How to check a Zara gift card balance
It’s really easy to check the balance of your gift card and it can be done in-store and online.
Just go to the page dedicated to checking the card balance and fill out the form online.
If you want to check it in-store, just ask the person at the register to do it for you.
Can I use a Zara gift card at Bershka?
Quick answer: yes.
Zara gift cards are valid for use in other Inditex brands, including Bershka, Pull & Bear, Massimo Dutti, Pull & Bear, Stradivarius, and even Zara Home. Yay!
One thing to note is that gift cards are only valid in the region in which they were purchased, so you can’t use it on holiday.
Does a Zara gift card expire?
Yes. Every Zara gift card has an expiration date, so make sure to check this and spend it in time so you don’t miss out.

If you return an item bought with a gift card, we’ll give you a new one. If it’s an online purchase, they will send you a virtual copy of the original card with your updated balance included in an email.
