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.
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
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.
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.
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.
Easy to use and better deals on discount cards, especially Raise. The purchase was easy and they have great specials
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.
Your company is very efficient, received my item very quickly, superb experience. Thank you. Would and have been recommending to my friends. Definitely will do business again
The site only guarantees card balances for a limited time. Not useful if you buy larger dollar amounts and can't use them quickly!
I've tried a couple times to purchase a gift card from cardcash... once it worked fine, the other 2 times my account was flagged? Wth? This is part of their message... Your order has been flagged by our fraud systems as high risk.
I have not encountered any problem with my purchases ever. Easy to browse available gift cards. Receiving egift card codes or by mails are always quick and reliable. I am really pleased with your service.
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.
Happy with my purchase. All cards were as described. Haven't used them in stores yet, but seems good. Thank you.
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.
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'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.
One of the best gift card sites, clear easy to use interface and I have not had any problems with cards.
I love the flash sales and how quickly I get my electronic gift cards. Every card I have redeemed so far has been accepted.
Answer: Thanks for bringing up the CardCash BBB rating, we appreciate the opportunity to explain why we have this rating. A few months ago we got into a dispute with a seller who defrauded us. We decided to take this matter to court rather than simply resolve the complaint that seller filed with the BBB. As this complaint remains open while the case is adjudicated, the BBB has downgraded our rating. Once this matter is resolved we expect our rating to more accurately reflect our commitment to excellent customer service and business practices.
Answer: Negative comments because they deserve them. They have the best deals because they have the most scammers selling them cards. That's why they only have a 45 guarantee. The majority of their cards will be zerod out by the 45 days or right after. Then, you are screwed. They WON'T refund your money after that.
Answer: Yes, my brother had a bad transaction with Cardcash. He put a hold through PayPal and Cardcash had to respond and then quickly resolved the problem. Cardcash is the only gift card company that I have dealt with constantly sells bad cards. I know only use giftcardrescue, cardpool, or monster giftcard. Never had a problem with them.
Answer: We have a 45 day guarantee for such occurrences. Please reach out to our claims department so we can assist you. Thanks!
Answer: Of course! You are covered by our 45 day guarantee. Please email [email protected] so we can resolve it immediately. Have a wonderful day!
Answer: They don't. Don't do it. They make it seem like this is a better, faster option but they've taken my $150 cards for over a week now and have not responded or provided me the MasterCard info. Please stay away and report to BBB as this is a common practice of theirs.
