Visa Infinite Benefits Include up to 3GB of Travel Data Abroad—At $0

There’s a travel benefit on your Visa Infinite card that most cardholders overlook, one that can save you over 20% on international data and includes up to 3GB free. 

‍

If you’ve ever paid daily roaming fees or hunted for a local SIM abroad, this will change how you stay connected. 

‍

Through an exclusive partnership with GigSky, eligible Visa Infinite cardholders receive between 1GB - 3GB of free data in 175+ countries, without paperwork or surprises.

‍

It’s a seamless solution that keeps you online while keeping your phone bill in check. 

‍

But it’s not widely known, so this guide walks you through how to unlock the benefit in minutes, before you board your next flight.

What This Benefit Covers and Who Can Use It

This partnership between Visa and GigSky represents one of the most valuable Visa Infinite benefits available to cardholders from 35 countries.

‍

If you have a Visa Infinite card issued in the US, Canada, Latin America or the Caribbean, you'll receive between 20–30% off all GigSky travel data plans, plus free data abroad.

‍

Most participating countries, including the United States, Mexico, Brazil, and much of Latin America, get 3GB free for 15 days. Canadian Visa Infinite cardholders receive 1GB free for 15 days.

‍

It doesn't matter which bank issued your card, whether it's from Chase, Bank of America, Bancolombia in Colombia, Caixa in Brazil, or any institution from the Americas. As long as your card carries the Visa Infinite logo, you're eligible. 

‍

This benefit applies across the Americas and the Caribbean, including countries like Argentina, Colombia, Jamaica, and the Dominican Republic.

‍

And with coverage in 175+ countries worldwide, it's easy to stay connected whether you're heading to Europe, Asia, Africa, or beyond.

‍

You can check availability for your destination in the GigSky app or on the eligible countries list.

How Does This Benefit Work?

This is one of the exclusive travel Visa Infinite benefits that uses eSIM technology. If you haven't heard of it before, it's simpler than it sounds.

‍

You'll get a data plan with an eSIM, which is a digital version of those little plastic SIM cards that go in your phone.

‍

Instead of physically taking out your regular SIM card and putting in a new one when you travel, an eSIM gets downloaded directly to your phone through an app.

‍

From a practical standpoint, you don't have to find a phone store in a foreign country, try to communicate in a language you might not speak, or worry about losing your original SIM card somewhere in your luggage.

‍

Everything gets handled through an app on your phone, and you can set it up before you leave home.

‍

Most newer smartphones can use eSIM technology. If you have an iPhone from the last few years, a recent Samsung Galaxy phone, or a Google Pixel, your phone supports it.

‍

You can check if your phone works with eSIM by looking at the list of compatible devices.

‍

There's also a simple way to check – you can dial *#06# and if you see an "EID number" appear, your phone can use eSIM.

‍

The actual experience of using an eSIM is like using regular data on your phone.

‍

Your phone will automatically connect to local cell towers in whatever country you're visiting, getting the same internet speeds that people who live there get.

How to Get Your Free Data

Getting started with this benefit takes less than 5 minutes.

‍

1. Download the GigSky app from the App Store or Google Play.
2. Open the app, and tap the banner that says "Eligible Visa Card Benefits."
3. Enter your Visa card number to check if you're eligible. (No, you're not getting charged. It's just for verification.)
4. If you're eligible, you'll see your complimentary 15-day data plan ready to activate. Just choose your destination.

‍

You don't need to be in the country yet to activate your plan. You can install the eSIM before your flight, and your phone will automatically connect to a local network when you land.

‍

This means you can have internet access as soon as you turn your phone back on after your flight lands, without having to find WiFi in the airport or figure out the setup while you're tired from traveling.

‍

The technical side of things happens automatically. GigSky works with local carriers all around the world.

‍

When you're in a new country, your phone automatically connects to whichever local network has the best signal where you are.

‍

You don't have to choose networks or change any settings, it just works.

What Else You Should Know

You won't get auto-charged. Once your free data is up, GigSky won't automatically bill you. You'll get a notification, and then you choose if you want to buy data.

‍

Topping up is cheap. Most plans start at $4.99, and you can choose by country or region. Going to Europe? There's a regional plan that covers 43 countries. Need data for just 15 days? There's a plan for that, too.

‍

GigSky works on land and at sea. Yes, even on cruise ships. It's one of the only providers that partners directly with local networks and maritime carriers.

‍

Coverage is massive. You're looking at 175+ countries, including the U.S., Europe, Asia, the Middle East, and popular islands like Turks & Caicos, Bahamas, and more. You can check full coverage of this benefit here.

‍

It's fast. We're talking LTE and 5G in most locations, so you can book that last-minute Airbnb, navigate a new city, or check restaurant reviews without begging for Wi-Fi.

‍

You save big. If you usually pay $12 a day to roam, this can save you over $80 on a 7-day trip. And if you use the 30% discount to buy more data, you're still coming out ahead compared to standard roaming fees.
