Getting the additional savings off of already discounted cards is highly regarded by this purchaser.

Won't refund unusable card
May 3, 2017

I bought two gift cards. One was usable and the other was not. I called the customer service line about the card the merchant refused to accept. The carfcash rep sent an email to the claims department and cc'ed me on it. After four days, I hit "reply all" and asked for the status of my refund. I received no response. These gift cards ended up costing much more than the face value because I have an unusable card and can't seem to get a refund.

Unreliable
May 3, 2017

The first and only time I've used Card Cash is when I bought a gift card for my mom's birthday sms gifted it to her.

How embarrassing was it when she called me from the restaurant and said it didn't go through? At least it was my mom, and I told her I would cover her tab.

Card Cash did refund me, but it was a lot of effort for no benefit. I asked Customer Service how common this was and they failed to provide any kind of a response whatsoever. Left to my own assumptions, it's occurred 100% of my interactions with them, so maybe this is just a completely unreliable service.

I gave it a 2 because they had a return policy on this, although I think there is a day limitation (that I was not aware of). If my mom had used her gift card outside that return period, presumably I would have been out the entire amount.

So you can't gift this to anybody because you can't be sure that it will work or that they would use it before the return policy expires. But you could take the chance yourself to realize some savings... if it works

Beneficial
May 3, 2017

I've been buying things for years. I've always had a great experience. It's easy to purchase, cards are easy to use, the paper certificates can be a little difficult sometime but that has to do with the cashier not being properly trained how to process them as payment. I've had to deal with customer service on maybe 2 occasions and my issue was resolved promptly. I really have no complaints.

Action on 45 day guarantee!
May 3, 2017

Received a gift card with an invalid card number and therefore no $ balance.
Reported this to CardCash the same day I received the card and discovered the card number was invalid, and have received a full refund of my purchase price as of 05/03/17. I am very satisfied with the speed in which they took care of this for me and the minimum amount of hassle involved.

Too Many Valueless Cards
May 3, 2017

I have purchased several gift cards from CardCash. Most recently three had zero values and one substantially less value than claimed. The last one with a zero value was suppose to be for $75 from Einstein Bagel. I went to an Einstein Bagel location. Was told that this card had no value. I thereafter contacted Einstein Bagel's customer service number. They advised me that this card had been zeroed out four days prior to the date CardCash emailed it to me. CardCash should not ship worthless cards. Moreover, it should not take 4 work days to issue a refund.

I received a gift card that had no value loaded and now I have to wait until they research it. It was their mistake but I have to wait for over a week while they investigate? It was meant as a gift for someone who is moving but it appears their 'investigation' will take too long. Granted, this is the only issue I had after purchasing multiple cards but it is their issue, not mine.

Balances Disappear
May 3, 2017

The site only guarantees card balances for a limited time. Not useful if you buy larger dollar amounts and can't use them quickly!

Went through the process to receive cards. Was approved. Later was turned down. Called up- to see why. Operator said it was out of his control and could do nothing to help me or explain why I was not approved. In the past i have bought before without any trouble. Will not buy from them again.

Perfect
May 3, 2017

I made a large order and was a little nervous about whether the cards would all work (I've had that problem with some other companies). They were very organized - the cards arrived promptly with an itemized list in the mailing pouch. Every card was exactly as advertised. Fast, efficient and as described.

Reliable Gift Cards - cheap!
May 3, 2017

I have been using CardCash for a couple of months now and I've already bought hundreds of dollars of gift cards. The discounts CardCash offers are amazing and I have been thrilled with them!

-1 star for the following:
The only thing that I would like them to add is a reliable app. They do have an app, but it's barely worth the space on your phone. I used it to buy a gift card and did use the card once with no trouble, but I didn't use up the GC and had a remaining balance. The next time I opened the app, the card was gone. I had to use the card up via the emailed PDF document instead, which involved opening my email, digging up the message they sent and opening the PDF, all while the cashier is waiting for me to pay. There is no way to restore your purchases to the wallet in the app. This is irritating and should be fixed. If the app, and especially the wallet, would work well, this would easily be a 5 star outfit.

CardCash saves you $$$!
May 3, 2017

CardCash's selection of gift cards is great! What I like most about CardCash is that they stand behind their gift cards. I had a problem with an egiftcard and contacted customer service. My problem was resolved to my satisfaction in a few days.
