How Custard Gift Cards Work

Custard has always been a smart way to earn and save money, but the new gift card cashback takes it one step further.

Keep earning on the main website by playing games, completing offers and more...but top up your earnings instantly with our brand new app! 

Despite the name, gift cards aren’t just for giving to other people — they can be one of the smartest ways to manage your own spending.

Buying a gift card for yourself through Custard means you secure instant cashback before you’ve even made your purchase, turning everyday spending into guaranteed rewards.

Whether you’re doing the weekly shop, booking a trip, updating your wardrobe, or enjoying a night out, you can earn instant cashback on the things you already buy. Join thousands of UK shoppers getting rewarded every day

How the Gift Card Cashback Feature Works

The process is simple:

1. Select your brand in the Custard app from our wide range of retailers, restaurants, experiences and more, with over 180 to choose from. 
    
2. Purchase a digital gift card for the amount you want to spend. Many of our gift cards can be purchased to precise amounts. 
    
3. Receive instant cashback into your Custard account, before you even spend the gift card! 
    
4. Use the gift card like you normally would — online or in-store. They can often be scanned at self-service checkouts. 

Because the cashback is credited instantly, you see the benefit before you’ve even spent the gift card, making it one of the fastest ways to turn everyday spending into real rewards.

Everyday Essentials with Supermarket Cashback

Groceries are one of the biggest recurring costs for most households, with the average family now spending over £100 per week on food shopping! With Custard's instant cashback this equates to £156 per year in savings!*

By purchasing supermarket gift cards through Custard, you can reduce that cost while shopping exactly as you normally would. We work with many of the top UK supermarkets, so whether you’re doing a large weekly shop or just topping up essentials, every basket can earn you money back.

Top Budgeting Tip: Buy your monthly spend on payday, and you can use that gift card throughout the month.

Fashion Purchases that Pay You Back

Updating your wardrobe or buying seasonal clothing is even better when it comes with instant cashback. Custard offers gift cards for H&M, Matalan, Mango, Adidas, Schuh, New Look, and Moss. This means you can earn while shopping for everything from everyday basics to occasion wear and sports gear.

Gaming, Entertainment, and Digital Fun

For gamers, Custard’s gift card cashback covers top platforms like Xbox, PlayStation, Nintendo GAME, and Roblox, as well as Currys for hardware and accessories. Whether you’re buying in-game currency, the latest release, or upgrading your setup, you can earn cashback before you even start playing.

Dining Out and Takeaway Treats

Eating out or ordering in doesn’t have to mean missing out on rewards. Custard works with restaurants such as Miller & Carter, Zizzi, Pizza Express, and Toby Carvery, along with The Restaurant Card for even more choice. For takeaway nights, earn cashback on Uber Eats, Just Eat, and Deliveroo — perfect for weekend treats or busy weeknights.

The average UK Household now spend £32 per week here, with Custard that's an earning of £121 per year! 

Everyday Indulgences and Home Improvements

Even small purchases can be more rewarding. Coffee lovers can earn on gift cards from Costa, Caffè Nero, and Starbucks. If you’re working on your home, Custard partners with B&Q, Wickes, IKEA, Habitat, B&M, and Argos — from DIY projects to furniture upgrades, your budget goes further with cashback.

Top Budgeting Tip: Buy your weekly coffee spend on Sunday evening, ready to get you through the rest of the week! 

Experiences, Travel, and Getaways

Custard’s gift card options also cover leisure and travel, so you can earn rewards while making memories. Days out are covered with ODEON, Merlin attractions, Go Ape, and Red Letter Days. For travel, you can earn on Airbnb, Spabreaks, Hotels.com, Disneyland Paris, and Eurostar bookings.

Multi-Brand Gift Cards for Extra Flexibility

If you like choice, multi-brand gift cards are the most versatile way to earn cashback with Custard. These cards can be used across multiple retailers, giving you the freedom to decide where to spend while still enjoying instant rewards. They're really great for gifting! 

Why Choose Gift Card Cashback?

Unlike traditional cashback, which often takes weeks or months to track and pay, Custard’s gift card cashback is instant.

You can combine it with other promotions, loyalty schemes, or sales for even greater savings. It’s a low-effort, high-reward way to make your spending work harder for you — across almost every category of daily life.
