What is the difference between Gift Cards and Voucher codes?

Gift cards can be issued for a number of reasons and have a 3-year expiry, whereas voucher codes usually apply to limited time offers and promotions.

Discount, voucher or coupon codes

Voucher codes are usually a short string of case-sensitive of numbers and letters. You may obtain these from any ongoing promotions or offers, such as our rewards from IKEA Family. They usually have a short expiry period (for example, 90 days) and can't be used in conjunction with other offers. 
These codes are applied in your shopping bag. Click on 'Apply discount code / reward keys' and enter your code before proceeding to checkout.

IKEA Gift cards

IKEA Gift cards feature a 19-digit number and a 4-digit PIN code required for redemption. They are valid for 3 years from the date of issue. Gift cards are treated like cash and can be combined with other discounts. However, make sure you don't lose it as we won't be able to replace lost or expired gift cards. 
To apply your IKEA Gift card, select 'Add an IKEA gift/refund card' at the payment step during checkout and follow the instructions.

IKEA Refund cards

IKEA Refund cards are issued under certain circumstances, like when returning a product to IKEA. Depending on when you were issued the refund, the IKEA Refund card will have a either a 19-digit number with a 4-digit PIN or a 16-digit alphanumeric redemption code.
To apply your IKEA Refund card, select 'Add an IKEA gift/refund card' at the payment step during checkout and follow the instructions for your card type.
