The country on a gift card is where the brand lets you redeem it: match it to the country of your account on the brand's site.
Each product page says where the code works. The brand's own rules decide what that means: Apple and Google Play tie a card to its country of purchase, Netflix to a currency, and Roblox says its codes redeem worldwide. If our page showed the wrong region, you get a full refund.

What do the labels on the product page mean?
They say where the code works.
- One country: a line such as "Works in United Kingdom only" means the card is for that country.
- Several countries: "Works in" and a number of countries. Tap it for the list, "Where it works".
- No country: "Works in any country", or "Works worldwide" in the buy block: our listing sets no country.
- Gaming top-ups: Steam, PlayStation, Xbox and Roblox cards show "Account region" followed by a country or "Global".
Does every brand lock its cards to one country?
No: each brand sets its own rule. Per their help pages (checked September 25, 2026):
| Brand | The brand's rule |
|---|---|
| Amazon | Works only on the Amazon site that issued it |
| Apple | Redeems only in the country or region of purchase |
| Google Play | Redeems only in the country of purchase, while you are there |
| PlayStation | Must be for the same region as your account |
| Xbox | Only for an account registered in the country of the card's currency |
| Steam | Converted to your wallet currency, but another currency may be refused |
| Netflix | Works if it is in the same currency as your Netflix bill |
| Roblox | All Roblox codes can be redeemed worldwide |
| Spotify | Account country must match where the card was bought |
| Uber | Rules differ by country: check the terms on your card's country page |
What if my account is in another country?
Buy the card for your account's country instead. Single-country cards warn you with a line such as "This one redeems only in Germany, not in Spain." It never blocks the purchase, so check before you pay. Read how to find gift cards that work in your country.
What if the region on your page was wrong?
You get a full refund if you write within 30 days. "Region shown on our product page was wrong" is a refund case; "Incompatibility with your region or account, when our product page stated the region correctly" is not. Read about buying for the wrong country, a code that doesn't work and how refunds work.
