I actually really liked using Giftnix for getting gift cards, for about two years I've been getting a giftcards from them every few months with no issues, a few of the times even getting $1 off my next order if I rated their service. But my last order is where I have a problem personally, but to someone else this wouldn't be much of an issue. A few days ago I ended up getting a few $10 giftcards, and the next day I ended up getting another one. I got the first few just fine but on the last giftcard I get an e-mail saying I won't be able to get the card unless I use photo of myself with my order # written on paper. Personally I feel like photo identification should be totally optional and only if you want that as extra security. For me it seems supicious to be REQUIRED to do it. I've had more transactions on other sites compared to giftnix and this has never been something those services require as a sort of 'saftey precaution'. I was able to get my giftcard with a partial face shot + order number, but also got an e-mail saying not enough of my face was in the photo, but I got my giftcard so it's all good, would've asked for a refund otherwise. No way a business based on selling giftcards should need your photo in my opinion. So if that's something that will be required from now on, I'm not sure I'll be back.

Their service was fine but, their verification for their services went too far! Wanted pic and personal phone while I was paying with Paypal! A simple transaction became complicated and I didn't want to be bothered with the account verification process! Ignore that part of it and the rest went well!
