I bought a $7 gift card for someone
I bought a $7 gift card for someone, paid $1.5 fee. The person tried to redeem it through Zelle (when he saw that card with no numbers to use for a transaction) and was required to pay $4. What the heck for?

We’re truly sorry to hear about your experience and appreciate you taking the time to share your feedback. Zelle is one of several available options for redeeming a gift. Any associated fee is clearly disclosed upfront, and recipients always have the choice to discontinue the process or select one of the free redemption options instead. Another free option is linking a card to the gift, and recipients who choose this method also receive a $5 incentive. If you have any questions or need additional assistance, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us at [email protected]. We’re here to help. Russell D (Dir Customer Service)
