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 thought that I was purchasing direct from Bunnings.
When the card didn't arrive at the allocated time, it was confusing trying to track down the progress.
The third party provider didn't answer their phone which then made it even more annoying.
Fortunately, the gift card turned up, albeit later than expected.

easy to use
It's easy to buy and redeem a gift card. However, it's a bit time-wasting to activate the card after purchased.

Best option for gifts from the USA
It is not easy to have birthday and Christmas presents delivered in Australia from the USA. Amazon's selection is limited for what can be delivered relatively quickly without large international delivery fees. The digital Mastercard is the perfect way to let our loved ones get what they want and is delivered in minutes! And not a ton of fees either!

I have purchased eftpos gift cards through their site, twice the gard was 'cancelled'. There was no reason why the transaction was cancelled, and then I had to wait on hold for an hour before I could speak to someone, who's only suggestion was that the my billing addresses between their website and Shop Pay had a discrepancy.
Their ecosystem is confusing; they have multiple websites, all slightly different for essentially the same thing, although with slightly different fees and payment (one site forces PayPal, one requires Shop Pay).
I need eftpos cards as research incentives, so I feel like I am forced to use them... but I wish I didn't have to.

Purchased an expensive gift card to be delivered on the day of Mother’s Day. I’ve called and emailed for the last two days and I’ve been on held for 40 mins a time, for no one to answer me. If I had of known it wouldn’t be delivered at the time it asked me, I wouldn’t have chose this gift card or website. I’d be better off just giving our mum the money.
In response to your reply, I was still calling on Tuesday to follow up with the missing gift card. I have since received a refund through PayPal because your “wait times”, “verification” and “processing times” of this purchase seemed to never come. I was told multiple times that it needed 24hours, which it was 48 hours at that point, then verification of my details would take 3-4 hours, which the only thing I ever received was the confirmation of my order. When I finally threatened to contact consumer affairs, I received a link to a card that didn’t work and wouldn’t “activate” or “load” even after following your advice and downloading the app. This is not a good enough service at all

Disappointing and dodgy
I placed an order for same day send for a birthday gift that never arrived.
No where on the site or in the FAQ does it mention a delay after placing the order and it being reviewed and confirmed before it is sent. Other similar retailers send within 4 hours!!
After several phone calls and sitting on hold to what appears to be an unattended number and several emails my order was eventually cancelled without response from TCN the next day.
Very poor and misleading. Do not waste your time.

Hi Rachel, we endeavour to get order out instantly but sometimes we do need to review orders which can take up to 24 hours. This is common practise in the gift card industry for security reasons. We are sincerely sorry you had a poor experience, and we are trying our best to be as fast as possible when orders need to be checked.

Absolutely fraudulent. Gift card didn’t work, didn’t have a pin and won’t be reimbursed for their mistakes. Someone else though shopped with our money without a pin.
