We forgot our gift for our niece’s out-of-state wedding! Glad we were able to text her a Giftya card! (Perfect they could use right away on the way to honeymoon destination). Processing fee is reasonable, thank you.

I ordered two cards but only one was delivered.

I ordered two cards. One was delivered successfully but the other wasn’t. When I sign on to your site and enter the order number, it says it is not found. I am now out $50. It is frustrating that I can’t speak to someone to get this rectified. I may have entered the wrong phone number for delivery. I can be reached at 217-260-8915. The transaction has already gone through my bank.

I just wanted a gift card

I just wanted a gift card. I don't want to go through complicated actions tying it to a credit card. The fact that you are making someone who was gifted something go through all these hoops, or pay a fee to transfer money out is ridiculous. Being able to swap card type does not provide enough of a benefit to use your service over the activation inconvenience

Thank you for sharing your feedback, and we’re truly sorry for any frustration this caused.
Our goal is to make gift redemption as easy and secure as possible. Linking a debit or credit card is just one option—it’s never required, but we recommend it because it offers added peace of mind:
• Security: Card-linked gifts can’t be lost, stolen, or misused.
• Convenience: They never expire, and all funds are fully available for use.
We completely understand that this method may not be everyone’s preference, which is why we provide other redemption choices. If you or your recipient need help or have any questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us at support@giftya.com. We’re here to make sure your experience is a positive one.

I sent a $30 Playstation gift card to my nephew for his birthday, but when his mom tried to download she was told she had to transfer it to a Visa or another card, but she wasn't able to do so and chose another option and was basically charged around $5 for the transaction. So my nephew did not receive the full amount that I intended. She asked me to never use GiftYa again.
