About Gifted
Gifted pushes hotel vouchers out of the storefront and into the shopping feeds.
Gifted sells and manages gift vouchers for hotels, spas and experience venues, covering the full lifecycle from purchase through redemption, refund and VAT treatment. The August run splits cleanly in two: a merchandising and acquisition layer — shopping feeds, badges, add-on rewards, shareable campaign URLs — and back-office precision work on redemption corrections, per-voucher refunds and VAT accounting. Both threads are aimed at the same peak gifting season.
