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.

I initially purchased a gift card for a client

I initially purchased a gift card for a client who had travelled to Brisbane for treatment after an unexpected diagnosis. I was then blown away when I won the monthly gift card swap, that I was able to share this with my colleague, who also supported this participant. Thank you for making it easier to celebrate a small community!

Don't try to buy a Gift Card from New Zealand...

I tried to buy a Gift Card from New Zealand to thank an Australian client.

Card.Gift processed the payment immediately, collected the money from my account and cancelled the card 12 hours later.

SEVEN (7) days later, and I am still struggling to get replies to my emails and am still out of pocket by a few hundred dollars!

Card.Gift is an expert at stonewalling and ghosting their clients.
