Gift Cards

Wetherspoons Gift Card

The only stored value the brand issues. It pays a bill rather than reducing one. Here is what common amounts actually buy at real menu prices, and how to check a balance.

What A Wetherspoons Gift Card Buys

Worked against the median main dish (£6.91) and the cheapest meal deal (£6.96), both from the published menu.

Gift CardMain DishesMeal Deals With A Drink
£10.00 1 dishes 1 deals
£20.00 2 dishes 2 deals
£25.00 3 dishes 3 deals
£50.00 7 dishes 7 deals
£100.00 14 dishes 14 deals

Rounded down, and food only. Drinks bought separately come off the same balance. Prices vary by pub. Across 24 pubs we checked, the same dish differed by 31% on average, and London, airport and station pubs are typically dearer.

Making It Go Further

  1. 1
    Spend It On A Club Night

    A deal price is a deal price however you pay, so the same balance buys more on a Monday to Thursday. See which day suits.

  2. 2
    Or In The Afternoon Window

    2pm to 5pm, Monday to Friday puts pub classics at £8.46 with a drink, which is the best food-and-drink rate outside a club night.

  3. 3
    Mind Which Pub

    Prices are set per pub, so the same card stretches further in some towns than others. Compare pubs near you.

  4. 4
    Order At The Bar

    Gift cards are taken at the bar, not in the app. Plan for that if you were expecting table service.

Spend It On The Right Day

Every deal, what day it runs and what it is worth.

A Gift Card Is Not A Discount

Worth stating plainly, because the two get confused. A gift card is money you have already paid, stored on a card. It does not reduce a bill, earn points or buy a better price. It just settles the bill like cash. Wetherspoon runs no loyalty scheme and no discount codes, so there is nothing for it to stack with.

The genuine saving is still the same one as everywhere else on this site: go on the day that matches what you want to eat. That is what turns a £20 card from 2 dishes into 2 full meals with a drink.

Gift Card Questions

From the brand itself, and from some supermarkets and gift-card retailers that carry it. This is an independent site and does not sell them. Anywhere claiming to sell a discounted one is worth treating carefully.
Ask at the bar in any pub, or check on the brand's own gift card page. The balance is not shown in the Order and Pay app, which is a common source of confusion.
Generally no. The app takes card and phone wallets. Gift cards are presented at the bar. If you are paying with one, order at the bar rather than to your table.
They carry an expiry, so it is worth checking the date on the card or in the confirmation email rather than assuming it will keep. Spending it in one visit avoids the question entirely.
Yes. A gift card is a way of paying, not a discount, so deal prices apply exactly as they would with cash or a card. That makes a club night the best value way to spend one.
No. The remaining balance stays on the card for a future visit rather than coming back as cash. If the balance is under the bill, pay the difference by another method.
About 2 full meal deals with a drink, or 2 main dishes at the median menu price of £6.91. Prices vary by pub. Across 24 pubs we checked, the same dish differed by 31% on average, and London, airport and station pubs are typically dearer.
