How to Get a Free IKEA Gift Card

How to Get a Free IKEA Gift Card

A free IKEA gift card is one of the most satisfying home-goods payouts on AirPerks. IKEA sells furniture, lighting, textiles, kitchen accessories, plants, and the meatballs — all under one roof, with a gift card that works both in store and at IKEA.com. The flow is straightforward: answer paid surveys and short Survey Missions in your spare time, hit the $5 cashout floor, and pick the IKEA card from the catalog whenever it's stocked in your region. Start in your browser at airperks.app, or download the app to earn on the go.

Real talk: this is spare-time money for your home budget. Here's how it works.

How to get a free IKEA gift card with AirPerks

  1. Sign up at airperks.app or via the mobile app. The starter survey unlocks your first $0.50.
  2. Answer surveys and complete Survey Missions. Surveys pay per completion. Survey Missions pay a bonus on top when you hit the target survey count.
  3. Stack the bonuses. Fragments at Level 5, Bonus Day at Level 10. The same survey pays more on AirPerks because of the layered extras.
  4. Hit $5. Standard threshold; $3 at higher Levels.
  5. Open the Payouts tab and pick IKEA. Tap the card, choose a denomination, and swipe to confirm. If the IKEA card shows a cashback badge, a slice of the value returns to your AirPerks balance as bonus points.
  6. Use in store or at IKEA.com. The code arrives via link and email. At the IKEA register: show the code or enter the gift card number. At IKEA.com: enter the card number and PIN at checkout.

IKEA gift cards cover virtually everything IKEA sells — furniture, IKEA Family items, the IKEA restaurant (including the famous meatballs), and IKEA's plant section. They typically don't cover certain services like delivery fees and assembly costs (check terms at time of purchase).

How long it takes

  • First $0.50 — within minutes of signup.
  • $5 IKEA card (a plant or a small kitchen item) — one survey session.
  • $25 card (a bigger home accessory) — a few weeks of casual activity.
  • $50 card (a small piece of furniture) — a multi-week goal with Bonus Day and Fragments helping.

Some AirPerks users have earned over $1,000. That's real but not typical.

Other ways to get a free IKEA gift card

  • IKEA Family. IKEA's free loyalty program offers member-only prices and occasional gift card promotions. Worth joining if you shop at IKEA regularly.
  • IKEA Business. Business card holders sometimes receive bonus credit for bulk purchases.
  • Other survey apps (AttaPoll, Eureka, etc.) — Real working apps that may also offer IKEA gift cards or cash.

Frequently asked questions

Do IKEA gift cards expire? IKEA gift cards in the US don't expire.

Can I use an IKEA gift card at IKEA.com? Yes. Enter the card number and PIN at checkout on IKEA.com.

Can I use an IKEA gift card at the IKEA restaurant? Yes — at most IKEA locations the restaurant accepts IKEA gift cards at checkout.

What's the smallest IKEA card I can redeem? $5 — the standard AirPerks threshold.

How fast does the code arrive? Usually a few minutes after you confirm the payout. The email sometimes routes to spam — check there if it's missing.

What if the code doesn't work? Open in-app chat — if delivery actually failed, the value bounces back to your AirPerks balance automatically.

Earnings vary based on user activity, demographic profile, and survey availability in your region. Top user earnings of $1,000+ are real but not typical.
