Beware of Cardcash. I have had several cards that I purchased from Cardcash that have had problems. Fortunately, I attempted to use all of them within the 45 day timeframe, so I received a refund. I don't think that the headache is worth it nor do I want to be involved with fraudulent business practices whether it is caused by Cardcash or those that sell the card to them. I am removing my email address so they can't send me those extra percent off deals - it is too tempting! It is embarrassing to give a certificate to a cashier and they say "sorry, zero balance on this." Hand them another certificate, "sorry, zero balance on this one as well. No thanks - DONE!

CardCash is beyond shady. They sell cards with no or lower balance and try to hide behind a 45 day rule for refunds. It is amazing how at Day 46 the balance becomes $0 if it wasn't $0 already. There is only one remedy: Credit Card Chargeback. Don't trust CardCash - they suck!

I've used Cardcash for years and have done my last transaction with them. The last three times that I dealt with them, 7 of 8 cards came with zero balance. There is no reason to get a card with no balance, since they could very easily confirm the balance at the time of sale. Giftcard Zen and Raise offer much better options and have better controls on their business. These guys have no sense of customer satisfaction and just don't care anymore. Avoid at all costs.

All their Tropical Smoothie cards have never worked along with their Five Guys, Einstein Bagel, and KFC cards. Of course I have purchased working gift cards. They do provide a 45 day warranty on their cards but what you don't know is that the value on the cards can magically disappear at anytime. Quoting from their customer support: "Buying from any Marketplace involves the classical Risk vs Reward decision. Consumers shopping on a marketplace can save up to 35% but will at times receive cards that are invalid or have a balance discrepancy. This is not something we can control. However, in order to make our customers feel a bit more comfortable we offer a 45 day buyer protection guarantee." This basically means you have to rush and use the gift cards within this time period. I would only purchase a card if you will use it right away. I've already lost two gift cards. The value of the gift cards can apparently disappear at any time. The loss easily offsets any savings. The hassle and risk is not worth any potential savings. This basically means that you can buy a gift card at up to like 1%-35% off but possibly lose 100% if you don't use it within 45 days. I don't know many people who rush to use a gift card and who even thinks of this classical Risk vs Reward decision? I am not thinking of risk when purchasing a gift card. I have lost about $130 from this website. The "chance" of saving 1-20% is meaningless when you risk losing 100%. This website should be categorized as a gambling website.

I bought a Friday's and Panera Gift card. Tried to use them the other day and BOTH had a zero balance. Immediately contacted customer service to report it, but because I was outside the 45 day window was denied a refund. I received an obviously canned email basically saying FU not our problem. That tells me this sort of thing must happen all the time. Their anti-fraud "vetting" obviously isn't as good as it claims to be. I shouldn't have to hold my breath worrying that someone is going to steal my money at any moment if I don't use the card right away. FYI Raise has a one year guarantee!
