I mistakenly read the expiry date.as being the date of purchase and bought an unnecessary sxtension so otherwise it was good.

Hi Trevor,

I am sorry to hear that your voucher was set to expire, and it was going to cost over half of the original fee to extend. If you would like to discuss this further we would be more than happy enough to look into this for you. If you reach out at trustpilot@buyagift.com

Excellent customer service

I contacted Buyagift about an experience voucher that had unfortunately expired without being used. I completely understood that the voucher was outside their normal terms and that they weren't obliged to offer a refund or extension.

However, after I explained the circumstances, the customer service adviser, Tony, took the time to look into the situation again and went above and beyond their normal policy to find a solution. They offered to extend the voucher free of charge or, alternatively, exchange it for the full value as Buyagift credit, which was particularly helpful as it gives me the flexibility to choose an experience that will be more suitable.

I was genuinely impressed by how understanding and accommodating they were. Rather than simply saying that the voucher had expired and there was nothing they could do, they took the circumstances into consideration and found a very fair solution.

Excellent customer service and a really appreciated gesture of goodwill. Thank you, Buyagift!

We have used Buyagift for several years now, but owing to illness and a death we have bee unable to realistically purchase anything. As a result we have not been able to use many of the vouchers. Fortunately we were able to contact them and eventually they were able to extend the voucher FOC, which was a great help in these difficult times.
