How to use a Just Eat Gift Card
06 November 2026
Using a Just Eat Gift Card is simpler than picking a restaurant. You add the code to your Just Eat account through the website, and the amount becomes account credit for your next order. Below, you'll find the steps, tips for a card you've received as a present, what to do if a code won't go through and how the credit works at checkout.
How to add a gift card to Just Eat, step by step
Adding the card takes a minute or two:
- Find your code. It's in the email that came with the gift card.
- Go to just-eat.ie. Use the browser on your computer or phone. The card can only be redeemed on the Just Eat website, not in the app.
- Log in. Sign in to your account, or create one for free if you're new to Just Eat.
- Open your account credit. Go to your account and choose "Account credit".
- Enter the code. Fill in the code in the box and confirm. The value is added to your account as credit.
That's the whole process. From then on, the credit is ready whenever hunger strikes.

Redeeming a card someone gave you
Follow the same steps, using your own Just Eat account. The credit is stored on whichever account you're logged in to when you enter the code, so that's the one that matters.
If you're the one giving the card, hand over the code rather than adding it yourself. Forward the email, or print it and tuck it into a birthday card with a note. Your recipient then redeems it in their own account and orders from their own sofa.
If the code won't go through
If Just Eat won't accept the code, run through these:
- Switch to the website. The card can't be redeemed in the app, so open just-eat.ie in your browser instead.
- Check whether it's already been added. Maybe someone in the family got there first. Have a look at your account credit to see if the amount is already there.
- Look for a typo. Enter it again slowly, character by character, or paste it straight from the email.
- Check which account you're in. Sign out and sign back in with the account the credit is meant for.
None of these? Get in touch with Just Eat customer care, and keep the order confirmation of your gift card handy, as it helps them look into it. If you bought the card from us, contact our customer service and we'll help you out.
Can you use a Just Eat voucher in store?
No. A Just Eat Gift Card isn't something you show at the counter of a restaurant or hand to the delivery driver. The value lives in your Just Eat account as credit, and you use it when you order through Just Eat.
Spending your credit at checkout
Once the credit is in your account, order the way you normally would. Choose a restaurant, fill your basket and go to checkout, where your account credit can be put towards the order.
There's no need to spend it all at once. Whatever is left after your order stays in your account for the next takeaway. If an order costs more than your credit, you pay the rest at checkout.
Giving a night off from cooking
Now you know how it works, a Just Eat Gift Card makes a handy present for anyone who loves a takeaway. It goes from €5 to €250 and arrives by email within minutes. For someone who'd rather eat out, a Nando's Gift Card is a tasty alternative, and our e-gift cards and top 10 gift cards in Ireland have plenty more.
Prefer to let them choose a different brand? Go for the All-in-1 Choice Gift Card, from €10 to €500.
