Q: Which Gift Card should I purchase?
A: There are two Gift Card options available: the Mandarin Oriental Global Gift Card, and the Experiences Gift Card.
The Global Gift Card can be used at any participating Mandarin Oriental property, restaurant, bar or spa, loaded with a custom denomination (currency dependent). The benefit of our Global Gift Card is that it does not expire and can be used at your leisure.
The Experience Gift Card allows the purchaser to gift a specific experience at a specific property to a recipient. The value of the experience will be set during the validity period, meaning that the recipient is able to redeem the experience in confidence that the Experience Gift Card will cover the full experience. Each Experience Gift Card has a validity period and will expire if not used during the aforementioned period.
Both gift card options can be purchased as physical gift cards or as digital gift cards.
