I got the card I needed, but your system was slow and the limitations on addressee & sender are a hindrance.

All is good, but should be more space for sender's info, and for message to gift recipient.

Scam

Someone sent me a $25 gift card from here and I could not get it to work. I waited a couple weeks and decided to try again and now there is a warning from my internet security program that their security certificate has expired.

This company doesn’t deserve any stars…

This company doesn’t deserve any stars at all!!! Bought a $50 gift card for my son. When he tried to use it, he kept getting messages that the card was invalid. We called this company many times; sometimes we were told that the card was invalid, other times we’re told that the card is valid (all recorded messages, no humans!), but was refused by the company that we were trying to buy from. Come on people!!! I can’t afford to just throw $50 dollars away!! And it is impossible to talk to a real person. I don’t know how people who scam others can sleep at night!

Disgrace

. I ordered an eGift card on 2/12 and received it the same day. The next day, the card was put on hold. I called customer service to figure out what was going on, and Moses informed me that he is unable to reactivate my card and thus would have to send me a check that will arrive in 3 weeks. He also informed me that the total cost would not include my fee that I paid to receive the eGift card. This is unacceptable and considered fraud. I will no longer buy egift cards from this company again. Unacceptable.

I am appalled by this situation and how you guys handle your customer's ecard. What a disgrace!

Couldn't use in Europe, Wouldn't work online in US at all.

My dad sent me a card without realizing that I couldn't use it in Spain. I tried online sites and still it wouldn't work. I gave all the information to one of my friends in the States so that she could try to use it and she had endless errors and was refused the ability to use it as well. When I try to access it again, or even check the website I get errors and can't even enter the site. It's $150 gone that I can't seem to track or use in the US even. I have no access to it and I don't know why my friend couldn't use it if she had all of my information for online purchases. This was a year ago, now my dad has died and neither he nor I ever got money from it.

I wish I read reviews first

I wish I read reviews first, this site has absolutely no way of getting in contact with anyone and i'm receiving phone calls and emails from numbers that don't match the site, claiming there was issues with my order and that it needs to be canceled but I no longer trust this site. the emails are marked with scam warnings and the links take me to suspicious websites. I need to cancel it, but I have no way of contacting anyone to do so! it's urgent that I cancel this order.

I ordered two $100.00 gift cards on 1/20/2026. According to emails from The Gift Card Shop, they were shipped on 1/22/2026 with a 5-6 day US mail delivery window. The cards were never received. After contacting them several times they issued a "case" on 2/2/2026 and I was told that I would be contacted in 2-3 business days. I was never contacted and filed a dispute with my bank.

Updated (improved rating thanks to great customer service) "dangerous URLs and unmatching security certificate!

A friend purchased a 100 Visa Gift Card for me for Christmas but when I click on the link to access I am immediately warned by security software that the page is "suspicious" - the security certificate they are using is one that was issued for a completely different site and it was also flagged for containing "dangerous URLS" - accessing could place data at risk. No way for my friend to receive her money back and no safe way for me to access the card. Did a quick search to see so many reports of fraud / scam and now you can add mine to the list.

Update (2/10/26): as you can see they responded as though they planned to rectify this however despite filling out the information they requested the same day (2/5/26) it's been 5 days and I've never received any follow up. I will update this again should it get resolved but at this point I don't have a lot of confidence that it will.

Update: A late update but wanted to make sure I was able to use the credit before posting again. Despite the issues with the website their customer service was great - responding right away and provided me with the option of a physical gift card that was mailed out and received within a few days. When I first attempted to use in a store it prompted me for a pin # which the paper work that came with the card did not mention so that was frustrating but when I more recently used for an online purchase it went thru with no problems. Hope they resolved the security issues on their website - but I'm updating the rating based on the customer service for resolving the issue and ensuring I could use my gift card.
