IMPORTANT NOTICE: Changes are taking place to the terms and conditions of the scheme which will affect Gatwick Staff Discount Cards issued on or after 2 September 2012.

How to qualify for your Discount Card

We have over 700 companies in the scheme, and you will need to select your employer from a drop-down list during the online application process. To apply for a Gatwick Staff Discount Card your employment must be based at Gatwick Airport, and you must have either:

Valid photo identification, in the form of:

• Gatwick photo identification card (with unique identification number)
• or Rail photocard

AND

Proof of employment status, in the form of:

• Gatwick photo identification card
• or A letter from your employer on headed paper verifying your status as a staff member

Your Gatwick Staff Discount Card will have your staff identification or rail photocard number on it. If you do not have valid photo identification and proof of employment status, you will not be able to collect your discount card, even if you have paid for your discount card online.

Both the Gatwick Staff Discount Card and discounted tickets bought using the Card are non-transferrable, and may not be used by anyone but the Card Holder (you).
