GigSky Visa Infinite eSIM: How to Claim 3GB Free + 30% Off

There is a free travel eSIM sitting in most premium Visa cards, and most cardholders have never claimed it.

Visa and GigSky run a cardholder benefit that hands Visa Infinite holders 3GB of international data, valid across 175+ destinations, at no cost. Visa Signature holders get 1GB.

Both come with a standing discount on every GigSky plan you buy afterwards, and both are claimed inside the GigSky app in about four minutes.

No promo code, no minimum spend, no statement credit to chase.

This guide covers the Visa Infinite eSIM plans and the Signature version beneath them: who qualifies, exactly what each tier gets, the claim flow step by step, and what to buy when the free gigabytes run out.

The short version

Bottom line: if you hold a Visa Infinite card, download GigSky, open Offers and Benefits, type in your card number, and 3GB of free travel data appears in your account with a full year to activate it.

Signature cards get 1GB the same way. Then use the 30% or 20% discount on a paid plan for the rest of the trip.

Card tier	Free data	Valid for	How often	Discount on paid plans
Visa Infinite (US)	3GB	15 days	Once per calendar year	30% off
Visa Signature (US)	1GB	15 days	Once per calendar year	20% off
Visa Infinite (Latin America and Caribbean)	3GB	15 days	Once, twice in Brazil	30% off
Visa Platinum and Signature (Latin America and Caribbean)	1GB	15 days	Once, twice in Brazil	20% off
Visa Infinite (Canada)	1GB packages, up to twice a year on some cards	15 days each	Annual	20% to 30% off
Visa Classic, Gold, Platinum (Canada)	none	n/a	n/a	10% off

The benefit is regional. The tier table your card falls under depends on the country that issued it, not where you are travelling.

A Brazilian Infinite card claims twice a year. A US Infinite card claims once.

Which Cards Qualify for the GigSky Visa Infinite eSIM?

Visa Infinite in the US includes the Chase Sapphire Reserve, the Capital One Venture X and the U.S. Bank Altitude Reserve. These are the 3GB cards.

Visa Signature in the US includes the Chase Sapphire Preferred, Chase Freedom Unlimited, Chase Freedom Flex, Ink Business Preferred and the Wells Fargo Autograph. These are the 1GB cards, and the Freedom cards are the surprise on the list, because they carry no annual fee and still qualify.

Two issuer partnerships go further than the standard tiers.

The U.S. Bank Altitude Connect, a Signature card, gets 5GB every 15 days on a rolling basis through 11 November 2027. The UBS Visa Infinite gets 5GB a year with a 30 day window plus 30% off everything else.

If you are not sure which tier you hold, the tier name is printed on the card face or in the card’s benefits guide, and the GigSky app tells you the moment you type the number in. There is no penalty for checking a card that does not qualify.

How to claim it, step by step?

The whole process happens inside the GigSky app, and the card check is the only part that takes any thought.

Step seven is the part worth understanding. Claiming the plan and activating it are separate.

Claim it today, install the eSIM, and it sits dormant until you either switch it on at your destination or the twelve month clock runs out and starts it for you. That means you can claim in January for a trip in October with no downside.

Check the phone first if you have never used an eSIM. Dial *#06# and look for an EID line under the IMEI. If it is there, the phone takes an eSIM.

If not, our eSIM compatibility check explains the alternatives.

What 3GB actually covers?

Three gigabytes over fifteen days is a real allowance for a normal trip, not a token one.

Maps, messaging, email, ride hailing and a reasonable amount of photo uploading run about 200 to 300MB a day for most travellers, which puts 3GB at ten days to two weeks of ordinary use. It will not survive video streaming or a daily video call home, and that is where the discount comes in.

One gigabyte on a Signature card is a different proposition. It covers a long weekend of maps and messaging, or it covers the gap between landing and buying something bigger.

Treat it as the starter plan, claim it anyway, and think of the 20% discount as the actual benefit.

Two things the free plan does not do. It runs on land networks only, so it excludes GigSky’s cruise coverage at sea, which is a separate product covered in our cruise eSIM guide. And it is a single 15 day window, so the clock starts when you activate and does not pause between countries.

What to buy when it runs out?

This is where the Visa benefit earns its place on a page about paid plans.

Once the card is saved in the app, every GigSky plan you buy carries the tier discount automatically: 30% off for Infinite, 20% for Signature, and 10% for the Canadian Platinum, Gold and Classic tiers.

GigSky’s paid range has two shapes. The fixed plans run from 1GB up to 50GB with validity windows that reach 90 and 180 days in some countries, which suits people who travel to the same place repeatedly.

The daily plans give 3.5GB of full speed data every day and reset each morning, which suits people who would rather not count.

Trip	Free plan covers it?	Paid plan to add
Long weekend, maps and messaging	Yes, on either tier	Nothing
Ten days, moderate use	Yes on Infinite, no on Signature	Signature holders add a 3GB or 5GB fixed plan at 20% off
Two weeks with video calls home	No	Add a 3.5GB per day plan for the second week at 30% or 20% off
Repeat visits to one country	No	A 50GB plan with a 180 day window, discounted, spread across trips
Cruise	No	GigSky’s cruise plan, which the free benefit excludes

Our GigSky review covers the paid plans country by country, and the GigSky promo code page lists ESIMADVICE15 for 15% off.

The Visa tier discount and the promo code are separate mechanisms, and the app applies whichever it recognises at checkout, so run the numbers both ways before you pay.

Our verdict

Claim it. A Visa Infinite card that already charges an annual fee is handing you 3GB of travel data and a 30% discount that lasts as long as the card does, and a fee-free Freedom card is handing you 1GB and 20% off. There is no version of a trip where that is the wrong call.

Then treat the free plan as the first fortnight and the discount as the real prize. For a heavy trip, add a GigSky daily plan at the tier discount. For a country where GigSky’s fixed prices are high, take the free 3GB and buy the rest from whichever provider wins that country on our comparison pages.
