Travelcard Terms - Luxury
Balance enquiries and card validity can be obtained online or by calling the number displayed on the card or the e-gift card. Alternatively, these can also be obtained by calling +44 (0)161 440 6620.
Gift cards and e-gift cards should be treated as cash; they are not cheque guarantee, credit or charge cards. Inspire will not accept liability for lost, stolen or damaged cards or e-gift cards.
Standalone Flight, Cruise, Eurotunnel or Ferry products may be booked when using a Gift Card and e-gift card as a form of payment but will attract a booking fee which will be advised at the time of booking. Further travel product limitations may apply, details of such additional limitations are printed on the gift card or provided when the e-gift card is purchased through a card distributor or reseller
Gift cards and e-gift cards may be used to make new bookings for travel products of a higher price than the amount on the card, on payment of the difference.
Cards can be redeemed on new bookings and used as payment towards any outstanding balances on an existing booking. Cards cannot be exchanged for cash or used to buy another gift card or e-gift card.
If a booking with a gift card or e-gift card is subsequently changed or cancelled, any money owing will be refunded back to the original form of payment(s) used to make the booking.
Illustrative Example: a calculated refund of £600 due to cancellation on a £1,000 payment for a booking, where £200 (20%) was paid with a Gift Card, and £800 (80%) was paid on a credit card, would result in £120 (20% of calculated refund amount) refund on to the original gift card used on the booking and £480 (80% of calculated refund amount) refund back to the original payment card used.
If you do not spend the entire balance on the gift card / e-gift card, the remaining balance will be updated after each transaction.
TravelCards are valid for 18 months from date of issue to ensure you have plenty of time to use your card. You can simply check your balance and expiry date here:
