You can find gift certificates and cards that provide you with savings in several ways.

How can you redeem travel gift cards?

Certificates and gift cards will usually arrive in the form of an electronic code. You will then be able to apply this code to your flight, lodgings, or other bookings online. This feature allows you to take advantage of the savings almost immediately. If you have purchased a physical certificate instead, an agent will scan this item once you arrive at the location that validates the gift card's services, such as an airline or motel chain. It's a good idea to check both the discount amount and expiration date, if any, before you apply any coupon codes to your trip.
