Where is the catalogue offer listed?
Select the intended market on multi-country products. This keeps the currency and available values tied to one real option.

Travel gift cards: check where you can use them
A travel theme does not make a gift card universal. Use the product market and face currency to narrow the choice, then verify the merchant’s current redemption rules for the planned booking.
What is the card’s face value?
The face currency belongs to the product. A visitor display conversion is only an estimate and does not expand where the card can be used.
What do the current terms allow?
Check the merchant’s own redemption, account and booking conditions. Unknown acceptance channels or expiry rules should stay unknown until verified.
A verified example: Airbnb Europe
Airbnb’s Europe terms limit that regional gift card to residents of the named EEA countries and Switzerland who have a payment method issued in their country of residence. The balance is for accommodations and does not expire. These rules do not apply automatically to Airbnb variants outside Europe, and the reviewed terms do not establish a general currency-conversion rule for catalogue listings.

Three cross-border mistakes to avoid
- Choosing by brand name while ignoring the selected market.
- Treating a display estimate as the card currency.
- Assuming that “travel” or a multi-market selector means worldwide redemption.
