The Merlin Gift Card can be used online to buy tickets and hotel stays at over 30 of the UK's top Merlin attractions, including Alton Towers Resort, LEGOLAND Windsor Resort, Thorpe Park Resort, Chessington World of Adventures, Warwick Castle, Madame Tussauds, SEA LIFE centres and more.
Getting your discounted Merlin Shopping Card through Blue Light Card is quick and straightforward. Log into your BLC account, search for Merlin Gift Card and head to the offer page to purchase your discounted Shopping Card. Once bought, the gift card details will be provided for use when booking.
To redeem, visit merlingiftcard.co.uk and select your chosen attraction. You can then use the card details at checkout on that attraction's website - it works just like a normal debit or credit card. The gift card can be used to buy entry tickets, hotel stays, Fastrack and VIP experiences. You can split the balance across different attractions.
Please note that the Merlin Gift Card cannot be used in person at the attractions - it must be spent online through the attraction websites. Part payment is not possible for online purchases; the transaction must be paid in full by the card. The Merlin Gift Card is valid for 12 months from the date of purchase.
Merlin Entertainments runs some of the UK's most popular family attractions - theme parks, SEA LIFE aquariums, historic castles, wax museums and more.

Whether it's a thrilling day at Alton Towers, a family trip to LEGOLAND Windsor, a weekend break at Chessington or a visit to Madame Tussauds London, the card covers a broad range of days out.
Buying through Blue Light Card means your 4% saving is applied at the point of purchase - no codes to enter, no cashback to wait for. The balance can also be split across multiple attractions, making it a practical choice as a gift when you're not sure which venue the recipient will want to visit.
