How it's used
Often used in retail or promotional contexts, this term specifically implies a ticket or voucher given for free to encourage patronage or as a reward for membership.

Common mistake
Learners often confuse this with 門票, but 贈券 implies it is a complimentary item that usually requires redemption for a service or product, whereas 門票 is a standard entry ticket that you typically pay for.
