GrabGifts Philippines redeem and send guide

What GrabGifts Actually Is

GrabGifts is Grab's digital gift voucher system, credit you send to someone's phone number or email that lands directly in their Grab app. There's no physical card to lose and no shipping wait, the recipient gets an email, taps to claim it, and the balance shows up under My Rewards ready to spend.

It works well for birthdays, graduations, or just helping a family member cover a ride or grocery run without handing over cash. Since it's digital-first, it also fits how a lot of Filipinos already send small gifts through GCash or Maya, an app-to-app transfer that arrives instantly instead of a card that has to be mailed.

Where You Can Use a GrabGift

GrabGift credit is spent inside the Grab app on whichever category the sender chose when buying it: rides, food, or Mart. Ride credit applies to GrabCar and GrabTaxi bookings, food credit covers GrabFood orders from restaurants and food stalls on the platform, and Mart credit covers GrabMart orders for groceries, medicine, and household essentials.

A sender can pick up to three different gift types in a single order, so a recipient might get ride, food, and Mart credit bundled together rather than just one category. The full range of redeemable services and current offers is listed on the official GrabGifts Philippines page.

How to Redeem a GrabGift Code

Redemption happens through email, not a code you type into the app manually. Once someone sends you a GrabGift, an email arrives with a Redeem Now link.

  1. Open the redemption email sent to your address.
  2. Tap Redeem Now.
  3. Enter your mobile number for verification.
  4. If your number isn't linked to a Grab account yet, create one first, redemption requires an existing account.
  5. Once verified, the credit appears under My Rewards in your Grab app, ready to apply at checkout.

From there, the credit behaves like any other Grab promo balance. It applies automatically or as a selectable option at checkout depending on the order type, no separate code entry needed once it's sitting in My Rewards.

How to Send or Buy GrabGifts Yourself

There are two ways to send GrabGifts, through the Grab app for one-off gifts, and through the GrabGifts Shop for bulk sending.

Sending Through the Grab App

  1. Open the Grab app, tap All, then select the Gifts tile and choose Send gifts.
  2. Enter the recipient's phone number or email, up to 10 recipients per order.
  3. Pick up to 3 gift types (ride, food, or Mart). Sending overseas requires selecting the recipient's country.
  4. Choose the gift amount.
  5. Customize the greeting, card title, and message.
  6. Review the order, pick a payment method, and tap Pay and Send Gift.

You'll get an in-app confirmation and an email receipt right after sending, and the recipient can redeem their gift from their own Grab app once it arrives.

Buying in Bulk Through the GrabGifts Shop

  1. Visit the GrabGifts Shop and select the recipient's country.
  2. Choose a greeting card design and customize it with the sender's name, card title, and message.
  3. Set the gift amount for each recipient.
  4. Choose how to send: download the links yourself, or let Grab email them directly.
  5. For direct sending, add recipient names and emails, up to 50 recipients per order.
  6. Review the order, choose a payment method, and log in to complete the purchase.

You'll receive a confirmation email and, for direct sends, a distribution email containing the gift links for each recipient. Orders can be tracked and managed from the Orders summary page in the GrabGifts Shop.

Other Places to Buy GrabGifts in the Philippines

Grab's own app and GrabGifts Shop are the direct route, but a few third-party sellers also carry GrabGifts vouchers, useful if you're already checking prices across platforms or want to pay through a different method.

Seller What it offers
Official GrabGifts gifts.grab.com/ph/en, the source Grab manages directly
Gifted.ph Grab Gifts Voucher listing on Gifted.ph
ShareTreats GrabGifts on ShareTreats.ph
Giftaway Grab card on Giftaway.ph
Ding Grab gift cards for the Philippines on Ding.com

GrabGifts also show up on Lazada from time to time, worth a quick check if you already prefer to keep a purchase inside a marketplace you use for everything else. Compare price and denomination options across sellers before buying, since bundled promos and fees can shift which source is actually cheapest for the amount you need.

Frequently Asked Questions

Where can my recipient find their GrabGift voucher?
Your recipient gets an email to redeem the e-voucher. They tap Redeem Now, enter their mobile number for verification, and the gift lands in the My Rewards page of their Grab app.
Can I buy a GrabGift for myself?
Yes. Select the Send to myself option during checkout in the Grab app or GrabGifts Shop, and the credit loads straight into your own account instead of going to another recipient.
Can someone redeem a GrabGift without a Grab account?
No. If their mobile number isn't already registered, they need to create a Grab account first before the gift can be redeemed and added to My Rewards.
Can a GrabGift bought in one country be used in another?
No. GrabGifts are tied to the country of purchase and can only be redeemed there, so a voucher bought for the Philippines only works on a Philippine Grab account.
What can GrabGift credit actually pay for?
Ride, Food, and Mart, depending on which gift type was sent. A ride credit covers GrabCar and GrabTaxi bookings, food credit covers GrabFood orders, and Mart credit covers GrabMart grocery and essentials orders.
