Stay connected abroad: claim your free gigsky esim

If you're a frequent international traveler, you may already have access to free global mobile data through Visa's partnership with GigSky.

Eligible credit cards and benefits

Visa Signature and Visa Infinite cardholders can receive complimentary eSIM data plans for use in over 175 destinations worldwide. The amount of free data varies by card type:

• Visa Signature: 1GB valid for 15 days once per year, plus 20% off additional data plans.

• Visa Infinite: 3GB valid for 15 days once per year, plus 30% off additional data plans.

To claim the benefit, download the GigSky app, sign in or create an account, navigate to the Visa offer, add and verify your eligible Visa card, and install the eSIM on your compatible device.

Is gigsky worth using?

While the complimentary data may not cover all your needs, it's sufficient for navigation, messaging, and other essential travel tasks. TPG lead writer Katie Genter recommends taking advantage of the benefit, especially since you can claim it for each eligible Visa card you hold.

If you're a heavy data user or plan to stream frequently, you may still want to purchase a larger eSIM plan from GigSky or another provider.

The key takeaway is that the Visa GigSky eSIM benefit is an easy and valuable perk to claim, helping you avoid expensive international roaming charges and stay connected abroad at no additional cost.
