Happy customer

I like Giftya it’s easy to use, especially if you don’t have time to mail out a gift card, but you have to pay a fee which is ok and I love it!!! You can send a record or you can send pictures which I love. Keep up the good work.

The process of sending a gift card was super easy. I love that you can schedule the date at a later time than when the card was purchased. I was notified when it was delivered, opened, and used. Very handy. Will use giftya again!

There were not clear communications to the receiver as to how to use the giftya.
When I (the sender) tried to help, it was also not clear how to fix the problem.
Although there were several options to choose from when needing help, the option that I needed to address our problem was not given as an option.

Horrible experience

Horrible experience. Cards don't let n tou know befire hand that some cards wint have email giftcard options. So your recioient gets stuck with a choice of trading it for another merchant card that also has no egift card option. All along giftya charges recipient $1 for every card trade attemot.

Sending gifts via your site is quick and easy. Unfortunately, some recipients have had difficulty "opening" the gift. Wish it was a little simpler for those who are not tech savvy. Some have even gone to restaurants with the text and been turned away because they have to convert it.
