Consider Cynthia, a banker in Lagos. She is searching for the right gift for her colleague who just welcomed a baby. She has a clear idea of what she wants: something thoughtful, useful, and memorable.

Cash, baby diapers, and other gifts didn’t meet her expectations. Then it hit her, "A Justrite gift card will do the job!"

As a new mom, she can use a Justrite gift card to buy anything she needs, groceries, toiletries, and even home appliances at any Justrite store.

This is what local gift cards offer Nigerians: a thoughtful gift and an easier way to pay everyday bills without carrying cash.

Cardtonic’s local gift card catalog makes it even easier to buy Nigerian gift cards in one app that many Nigerians already use for their daily expenses.

What Cardtonic’s Local Gift Card Catalog Means for Nigerians

Cardtonic has made a name for itself in Nigeria’s gift card exchange market. It helps thousands of Nigerians sell international gift cards for cash. This service works well because international gift cards cannot be used in physical stores in Nigeria.

On the flip side, local gift cards are becoming a common choice for many Nigerians. People now use local gift cards like the Filmhouse Cinemas gift card for movie tickets and the Spar gift card to pay for groceries, among others.

But there are challenges. A typical Nigerian needing a HealthPlus gift card for pharmacy needs or a Samsung gift card for electronics must download each brand’s app and create an account to buy one.

Cardtonic’s local gift card catalog solves this problem. With a Cardtonic account on the website or mobile app, Nigerians can access over 100 local gift cards in different categories and amounts.

Grocery gift cards like Justrite, beauty gift cards like Oriki, health gift cards like HealthPlus, bakery gift cards like WaraCake, and others are all available on the Cardtonic app.

Gift card amounts are flexible too. Customers can get gift cards starting from ₦500 for small expenses to as much as ₦200,000, giving Nigerians control over their spending and gifting.

Besides convenience, Nigerians can buy these local gift cards on Cardtonic at good prices and earn reward points that can be turned into cash.

How Cardtonic is Becoming the Super App for Everyday Nigerian Digital Payments

The new local gift card catalog does not replace the international gift cards on Cardtonic. Instead, it adds more options to the existing Cardtonic gift card system, creating a marketplace where Nigerians can buy both local and international gift cards like Sephora, Apple, and Macy’s.

Those with international gift cards can also sell them for cash on the Cardtonic app at better rates.

Nigerians can do much more with the Cardtonic app. They can use the Cardtonic virtual dollar card for international payments, eSIMs to stay connected abroad, and buy tech gadgets like laptops and smartphones.

In fact, Cardtonic is becoming the go-to app for Nigerians whenever they want to pay bills.

Final Thoughts

This new local gift card option strengthens Cardtonic’s position as Nigeria’s leading gift card platform.

Nigerians can easily buy and sell both local and international gift cards using the Cardtonic app on their phones.

Cardtonic is not slowing down. It continues to ensure that Nigerians have access to more local gift card brands in various categories.
