Scam! stay away! found it odd at first that they had a Sirius XM gift card for the amount of $5, an amount which doesn't exist anywhere else, but went ahead and paid anyway and was never sent the code to my email.

This a scam. My daughter can not tie her Giftya Door Dash text to her DoorDash account to use it. They are asking her for her debit card or banking information to send the money to that, instead of it being an actual gift card. You should NOT have to give personal banking information to use a gift card. Their customer service is a CHAT BOT that can only answer pre programmed questions. No refunds no returns.

SCAM. DO NOT USE! Purchased an Amazon gift card that had a $1.95 purchasing fee. Recipient never received it despite accuracy of email address. Contacted giftya phone number and there is no way to speak to live voice. “Live chat” was ridiculously unhelpful. Only way I received refund is by contacting Better Business Bureau. This site should be renamed” griftya” and permanently shut down.

Giftya is plainly a scam; their own website tries to explain away all their negative reviews on a page dedicated to telling people that the company ISN'T a scam. The snake-oil sales continue as Giftya claims that their proprietary gift "technology" is "next-generation" and that people are merely skeptical due to their fear of change... My mom tried to order her friend a DoorDash giftcard and ended up with Giftya; her friend did not want to redeem the "card," as it requires giving Giftya your bank card information (so they can "reimburse you" after you buy things with your own money). Not wanting to lose her money, my mom tried getting on the Giftya website, but kept running into problems figuring out how to redeem the money herself. She changed the recipient to be me, because you can Zelle yourself the giftcard balance instead of spending it; this option will cost you an additional $3.99. There are other weird options like "transfer your balance to an egift card after 24 hours." So what they are selling is not an actual giftcard, "e" or otherwise, and you don't seem to be able to access the money until some later point. I did get the $31.01 through Zelle after a few hours. Adding in the initial purchasing fee, my mom basically paid Giftya $6 to hold on to her money for a month.

Cannot recommend. Card has been denied many times, followed directions still no satisfaction. Called customer service #, after many prompts waited patiently for customer service rep and after minutes waiting, twice disconnected. Not sure if scam or not, feels like one. There are many better choices! Don't waste your time and money. This was a card my wife received. I received one also and had it sent to me as a Zelle payment, was charged a 3.99 fee on a 25.00 gift, recieved 21.10. Zelle is a free service! Made another call this morning (9-30-24) regarding my wife's card, waited 3 minutes with music, then disconnected again. Tried again after 10 a.m. thinking maybe they start late, waited to 3 minute hold time for a Rep and was then disconnected.

Giftya is a total scam. I sent a gift card to my son and he cannot activate it and there's no one at the company that can help. The virtual Chat is totally worthless. I am out $100 and will dispute the charge on my credit card.

Less than one star. Impossible to get any customer service. A total waste of my time.

Do not under any circumstances send this company your money. Let me break it down for you if you send someone $100 giftya card they have to link that card to an active bank card and when they use that bank card to shop at the appointed Merchant gift will reimburse them 3 to 5 days later. My card was appointed for use at uber. I linked it to my card but couldn't use the gift card because you first have to have the money in your account to cover the charge at the merchant and then gift your will reimburse you 3 to 5 days later. They didn't reimburse me I have three charges at Uber from over a week ago they haven't reimbursed me and now they keep sending me a code to log into their website that's not being received by my phone so I can't even log in. Do not do not do not I repeat do not involve yourself with this company
