iFly Gift Card Guide (2026): Costco, eGifts, How They Work

Quick answer: iFly sells eGift cards directly (instant delivery to your email or recipient’s email) at face value. Costco sells discounted iFly gift cards in bulk format — typically a $100 face value for ~$80. Costco gift cards are the cheapest legitimate way to gift iFly. For the giver paying themselves, a Costco voucher (not gift card) usually saves more than a gift card, but a gift card is more flexible because it can be applied to any package.

This guide explains the difference between iFly eGifts, Costco gift cards, and Costco vouchers, when each makes sense, and how to actually redeem them.

The three things people call “iFly gift cards”

1. iFly eGift card (sold direct)

• Where: iFly’s website, gift section
• Format: Email delivery (recipient gets a code)
• Pricing: Face value (no discount)
• Use: Apply to any iFly package
• Best for: Last-minute gifts, recipients in iFly cities
• Pros: Instant delivery, flexible
• Cons: No discount

2. Costco gift card for iFly (~20% off face value)

• Where: Costco warehouse and Costco.com
• Format: Physical card or eGift, usually multipack
• Pricing: Typically $100 face value for ~$80 (varies)
• Use: Apply to any iFly package
• Best for: Gifts where the recipient picks their package
• Pros: ~20% savings, gift-friendly
• Cons: Costco membership required, not always in stock

3. Costco iFly voucher (specific package, deeper discount)

• Where: Costco warehouse and Costco.com
• Format: Voucher code for a specific package (typically 2-flight First-Time Flyer)
• Pricing: Typically $59.99 vs $79.95 at iFly direct
• Use: Applies to that exact package only
• Best for: You already know what package the recipient (or you) wants
• Pros: Deepest discount per dollar
• Cons: Locked to one package; no upgrades; expires

No — they’re distinct products. The gift card applies to your iFly direct booking. The voucher comes pre-loaded with a specific package.
