Amilon has expanded GiftCardStore into Poland with ordering in Polish zloty, while adding direct delivery of digital gift-card codes through WhatsApp, SMS and email. The September 23 release combines a new market offering with changes to how employers buy, administer and distribute rewards. [S1]

It does not, on its own, establish that every catalogue brand accepts redemption in Poland or that the same card can be spent across national markets. Buyers still need to select products appropriate to their recipients and intended spending locations.
