Gift Card That Works Both in the US and Poland: The Complete Guide

Have team members or clients spread across the US and Poland? You’re not alone.

Many global companies face the same issue—but when sending rewards or thank-yous, complications pile up fast. Most US or Polish gift cards only work locally, locked to their currencies, merchants, and payment systems.

For example, US Amazon gift cards won't work on Amazon.pl, and many Polish brands can't be redeemed stateside.

The challenge: Finding one gift card that recipients in both countries can use seamlessly. This guide reveals why most fail across borders—and spotlights solutions like the Toasty Choice Card—that make US-Poland rewards effortless.​

Why Gift Cards Fail Across Borders

Gift cards rank among the top ways to reward employees and customers worldwide—but few handle cross-border use effectively. Most US or Polish cards remain region-locked, issued in local currencies (USD vs. PLN), and restricted by brand policies or payment networks.

• Currency Barriers: US cards use USD, Polish ones PLN—conversions fail or trigger rejections at local merchants.

• Region Locks: Amazon.com won't accept Amazon.pl codes; Visa cards often fail on Polish gateways like Przelewy24.

• Payment Network Issues: Polish sites favor local methods (BLIK, Przelewy24) that reject foreign cards.

• Brand Restrictions: Global chains run separate programs—US Starbucks cards don't work in Poland.

• Compliance Hurdles: Cross-border transactions trigger mismatched KYC/AML rules between US and EU regulations.​

What Makes a US-Poland Gift Card Actually Work

For a gift card to deliver seamless rewards across both the US and Poland, it must meet three essential criteria:

1. Multi-currency support

A cross-border gift card should handle both USD and PLN, either through auto-conversion at redemption or by letting recipients select their local currency and region.

This ensures someone in New York and another in Warsaw both redeem for brands that actually work locally.

2.  Global Catalog

3. Digital Delivery
