Aira Gift Cards
The gift that keeps on giving.
The Aira Explorer app connects those in the blind and low-vision community to professional visual interpreters who can audibly describe, narrate, navigate, and read aloud. The app is a powerful tool for providing access to visual information and in helping with everyday tasks, like taking photos, using transit, shopping, and getting the most out of events.
Aira Gift Cards can be used to cover the cost of Aira minutes. Gift cards are available in amounts of $30, $50, $100, or $250 USD*.
Upon purchase, both you and your gift recipient will receive a confirmation message sent via text to your mobile device.
*Gift cards are purchased in the currency of the recipient. The prices shown are in USD. See the FAQs for more details.
Gift Card FAQs
Anyone can purchase Aira Gift Cards. Recipients must be in a country with access to Aira service – USA, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, the UK and Ireland – or where there is an active internet connection.
Aira Gift Cards can be purchased either for yourself or for someone else. As a current customer, you’ll be asked to log into your Aira account during the checkout process.
The person buying the gift card must make their purchase in the same currency as the gift receiver. For example, if you live in the USA and your gift recipient lives in Australia, the gift card should be purchased in Australian dollars.
Gift Cards are available in $30, $50, $100 and $250.00. You are not limited in the number of cards that you can purchase.
The person receiving the Aira Gift Card can choose to purchase any Aira offer that’s currently available to Explorers – an Aira plan, Add-On Minutes, or as a credit toward any Aira purchase.
Aira Gift Card credit is automatically applied to your next Aira purchase. So, if you’re hoping to purchase add-on minutes with your gift card, be sure to do so before your next billing date.
The recipient will receive a text message from Aira confirming they have an Aira Gift Card waiting for them. All they need to do is open the Aira app and make a purchase – the gift card credit will be automatically applied at checkout. Alternatively, they can call Customer Care to make a purchase (or ask questions) using one of the following numbers:
- North America: +1-800-835-1934
- Australia: +1-800-765-096
- United Kingdom: +44-800-046-5668
- Ireland: 1-800-851 255
- New Zealand: +64-800-425-451
Here’s how it works:
Step 1: When you purchase an Aira Gift Card, you and your gift recipient will receive a text message confirming your purchase. The gift recipient will also receive a link in that text that opens the App Store or the Play Store (depending on what device they use). At that point, your gift recipient can download the free Aira app.
Step 2: When opening the app for the first time, your gift recipient will be asked to provide their cellphone number in order to verify their account. It’s important that your gift recipient uses the same cellphone number you provided when buying their gift. If the number that was provided does not match, they will not be able to use their Aira credit.
Step 3: Once your gift card recipient verifies their cellphone number, their sign up as a guest user is complete. If they want to use the gift card credit and sign up for a plan, they will need to call our support team:
- North America: +1-800-835-1934
- Australia: +1-800-765-096
- United Kingdom: +44-800-046-5668
- Ireland: 1-800-851 255
- New Zealand: +64-800-425-451
No, if someone already has a plan, their Aira Gift Card will be automatically applied to their next month’s bill. If they want to use it for Add-On Minutes or any other Aira purchase, they need to do so before their next billing cycle.
No, Aira Gift Card purchases are nonrefundable.
