E Gift card scam site
March 23, 2017

I had the same problem as numerous other people. I have purchased 3 egift cards for Fridays. I checked the balance when received and balance was as advertised. Then the balance disappeared. I am in Fla. The card was used in Times Square about 2 weeks after i purchased. Leads me to believe that they are selling the same egift card multiple times unless they are stupid enough to buy egift cards from people. Will dispute through my credit card company.

Beware!
March 23, 2017

The CardCash guarantee is only good for 45 days. This is a very short guarantee period as their competitors have longer guarantees. There is something wrong with this company as it seems to have an unusually high number of cards that go to zero shortly after the guarantee period (sometimes before the 45 day guarantee period is up). They seem to buy from people who are dishonest and if you let a card go past the 45 day guarantee, someone else uses the card and the honest purchaser (me) is left holding the bag. This has happened to me on at least 3 occasions. If you are absolutely sure you will use the gift card within 45 days, then it may be worth the risk as they have given me a refund on bad cards within the guarantee period. But, if you do not use your card within 45 days, you are hanging out there and may very well lose whatever balance is left on the card. I do not recommend CardCash until such time as they significantly lengthen their guarantee period.

Donald, I'm sorry you feel that way about our company. We have many layers of anti-fraud technology to prevent such occurrences, in case it does, we have our 45 day guarantee in place. Please continue to use all gift cards within that time frame. We hope that the benefits of using discounted gift cards makes it worth the added inconvenience. Thanks for reaching out!

Balance disappears
March 23, 2017

Gift card with almost $200 left is unusable because of fraudulent activity (purchased originally with a stolen credit card). BBB site shows pattern of this same activity from this company. The company refuses to do anything after 45 days even though this is fraud.

UPDATE ON FRAUD
March 22, 2017

This is an update. As I thought so far. We are dealing with a 3rd world group who have given my information to a Third party software firm. I have written this Racheal who touts to just write her and she will solve your problem. False SO FAR. I will see is my security issue is resolved and write a review to let All others know what happens. Please like this review if you also have a security issue as this will help build a list for others to get theirs resolved. Thanks All... Bob

Poor fraud control
March 20, 2017

After several positive experiences, purchased restaurant gift card. Checked value on reception and was good. Due to schedule did not get to use for 80 days. Discovered card was voided 5 days after my purchase. Original card purchased with stolen credit card. My request for refund denied due to being past 45 days. Since "Cardcash" claims superior fraud department, I appealed to follow through on reporting the fraud. Since they only profited from scam, no interest shown in following up. Will avoid in future.

I bought this on Feb 22th and received e-gift card number and pin on Feb 23th. It was used in Chicago in store. That was insane. I was studying at school and has never been to Chicago. THIS IS SCAM.
Since I did not pass the 45 days of purchase, I hope I can get refund and update my review.

Only buy cards if you can use them yourself within the 45 days. After that the money is usually gone. Don't buy cards to use as gifts. Many scammers sell cards on this site. Costco told me people buy gift cards there-list them on card cash site and then return the card after the 45 days for a refund. I didn't know you could do this but day 46 the cards are usually worthless and customer service is no help. BEWARE of a purchase on this site.

Consumer Beware
March 15, 2017

I purchased 5 GCs and 2 had $0 balances. CardCash did refund my money for them. Another one had $50 balance at CrackerBarrel. I used $28 worth for a balance of $22. Within a week later, it was $0. When I asked CB about it, they said the $50 GC was purchased with a stolen CC and they set my balance at $0. I notified CardCash and they said since the purchase was made more than 45 days ago, they were not held liable. I am now in process of disputing the charge through my CC company. If you do purchase from CardCash, use the cards immediately and use them for the full amount. I won't be buying from them again - read the lousy reviews on this company.

Edit: CardCash finally did offer to refund my money, but my CC company already took care of it. I told them I had already been made whole. They did not want to refund any money until they heard about my review. I now consider this case closed. For future reference, please use your card as soon as you can and use it all up at once.

One I tried to use and discovered the 0 balance and was able to get a refund. The other they refused to refund because it was past what they said was clearly advertised as a 45 refund policy. Just be aware that you might have both worthless cards and a clock ticking on your purchases!

I recently purchased a TGI Fridays card from card cash based on their e mail solicitation for a 40% off sale. When I attempted to use it there was no value on the card. Cardcash would not honor reimbursement on this obviously fraudulent transaction as it exceeded the 45 day limit. This is the third zero balance card from cardcash. They did refund the first two but not the third.

Will not buy again
March 12, 2017

I have purchased a total of 10 cards from Card cash. Half of them worked and the other half did not. Unacceptable and not worth my time. There are other discounted gift card sites to use and I have never had a problem with them.

Beware!
March 10, 2017

I have bought numerous cards from this outfit and recently more than half of them turned our to be worthless, or worth less than paid. Most of the bogus cards I was able to notify the seller before my 45 days warranty period were up and received an adjustment. Sometimes in checking a card's balance immediately after purchase it will appear that the card has the advertised balance but subsequently the balance will go down or disappear. I recently tried to use a $50 card for Texas Roadhouse for the first time and discovered the number was invalid; CARDCASH advised me that I am beyond the 45 guaranteed days but in spite of that they provided a refund.
