Ah, Smartbox… These little boxes that promise you magical moments, memorable stays, or unusual activities. But before you can book your weekend in a treehouse or a luxurious spa, you need to go through the essential step: your Smartbox account. Yes, I know, it’s not the most glamorous part. But don’t worry, I’m going to guide you step by step. Here we go!
Creating a Smartbox account: easy, quick, and painless
First step to enter the wonderful world of Smartbox: create your account. Don’t panic, it’s child’s play (even your dog could almost manage it, but not sure he needs one).
How to do it?
- Go to the Smartbox website.
- Click on the “My Account” tab at the top right (it’s so well placed you can’t miss it).
- Choose “Create an account.”
- Fill in the required fields: first name, last name, email address, and a strong password (forget the classics like “123456” or “password”).
- Confirm everything, and voilà, your account is created!
Tips for a secure password
- Mix numbers, letters (uppercase and lowercase), and special characters.
- Avoid obvious info like your first name or birthdate.
- Store it in a password manager if memory isn’t your strong suit.
Little bonus: Once registered, Smartbox sometimes sends you exclusive offers. Yes, you could get a spa at half price, so it’s worth it.
Logging into your account: as simple as saying “hello”
Now that you have your account, it’s time to log in. If you are thinking “But why do that?” Well, to manage your gift certificate, book your activity, or check that your romantic weekend is well booked.
Login steps
- Return to the Smartbox website.
- Click again on “My Account” (you see, I told you, it’s easy).
- Enter your email address and password.
- And there you go, you are in your personal space, ready to manage your life as a future adventurer.

Registering your gift certificate: the crucial step
Okay, you have your account. Now, you need to register your precious Smartbox gift certificate. Why? Because without it, you can’t book anything. And frankly, that would be a shame.
How to register your gift certificate?
- Log into your account (you are now an expert at this step, well done!).
- Go to the “My Gift Certificates” tab.
- Click on “Register a gift certificate.”
- Enter the code written on your box. Generally, it’s a mix of letters and numbers (no, it’s not a vision test, I promise).
- Confirm, and that’s it!
Why register your gift certificate?
- Keep a record: In case you lose your box, it will always be available in your account.
- Extend its validity: Some boxes expire, but once registered, you can sometimes request an extension.
- Easy exchange: If the idea of skydiving gives you cold sweats, you can exchange it for something more chill.
Exchanging a gift certificate: because life is full of surprises
Ah, the exchange. Sometimes, someone gives you a gift with the best intentions, but it’s just not your thing. No problem, Smartbox allows you to exchange your box.
Exchange options
- Log into your account.
- Go to “My Gift Certificates.”
- Click on “Exchange.” There, you will see all the possible options.
- Select an activity or a box that you like more.
- Confirm, and done, the exchange is made.
Conditions to meet:
- The box must still be valid.
- Some exchanges may require a small additional fee, but it remains reasonable.
