Company details

Written by the company

Based in Melbourne, Australia, The Card Network was founded with one purpose, to inspire the way people gift. We design gift cards for gifting, and we design systems to make it easier for gifts to be given. Why? Because we know it is more than a gift card. It could be a thank you, happy birthday, I love you or even a welcome to the world! Either way, it's so much more than a gift card. It is a chance to provide happiness and gratitude, and there is nothing better than that.

Not great but not horrible… honest answer

Great response time but. Extremely hard to just download app receive message and create. Account let alone add the card you have already purchaced to the app!

Twice I tried twice to purchase online voucher and both times you cancelled my order with any clear reason. I wasted 3 days on this.

I ended up having to go to the supermarket and acquire a gift card.

I found the multi-card ideal as a gift ideal and easy.

I found the multi-card ideal as a gift for my grandson as it gives him a range of stores to spend his gift. The process of selecting the card and $ amount then processing was very straight forward and he got it emailed to his phone immediately.
