GyftReviews of gyft.com

I would give zero Stars if possible but according to a review I have to at least leave one which in my opinion is being too generous with this scam of a company. Absolutely the worst company that I have ever attempted to buy from online. I use them because they accept Bitcoin I was trying to see how easy they have made it for their customers to be able to purchase gift cards to use in store. This morning I attempted to buy a Target gift card I did everything that the prompts asked me to do, cut & paste address to my Bitcoin wallet. They took the money out of my wallet instantly I got a email from Bitcoin confirming that the transaction was successful. But then turned around and got a message from gyft saying the invoice was not paid in full and my code had expired. When purchasing with Bitcoin a address is given and expires after 15 minutes of non-use the transaction literally took less than 1 minute to cut and paste an pay. After seeing that the invoice was actually paid in full because they took the full amount (plus a $4 fee that they don't disclose) I called customer service to ask them what was going on. The customer service was so unprofessional! First he couldn't even find my account, second, he was actually acting like my phone call was ruining his day. Third he literally did not know what to do. He had no solution other than to tell me to wait for a refund and that it was showing in his system that it was being processed. He stated twice that because today is Sunday that I could expect to see the money by Thursday and if not to call back on the following Monday. Like what the hell? Why do I need to wait to get my own money back they didn't wait to take it!! Stay away from this company!!! I will be reporting with the BBB that's for sure! Consider yourselves warned.

I made a payment with my paypal of $30 for an amazon gift card on September 3rd. I waited 3 hours and nothing so i decided to contact gyft to see if a refund was possible and they told me that my Payment "didn't go through on our ends." But if i go to my transaction history it shows that i authorized a payment of $30. After a few days i was told by Gyft that a refund was possible but i had to wait "3-7 business days." Those were pure lies. I've contacted gyft over 11 times to see whats happening with my refund and they cant do anything about it. Until this very day i have not received the refund and $30 is a lot for me. The point is the experience I've had with gyft is unacceptable and considering all the money the users on here spend and how the customer service gives their least effort to satisfy someone is truly sad. That was a waste of time and money and i am least satisfied, i might not get a refund and there is nothing i will be able to do about it. Goodbye $30

Horrible customer service. For some reason they denied my purchase and then proceeded to hold funds for a month. They say they release them after seven days, but they do not. Their customer service responds with scripted emails and never actually helps you and after you request they stop scripting you and ask for actual help they just quit responding. Really crappy company.

I received a gift card from Target through Gyft. It has been a nightmare. First I went to a local Target store and tried to make a purchase using the gift card purchased through them, it was declined for having a $0 balance. The person at the checkout counter held my stuff while I went to the Guest Services counter, where they called customer service. They were unable to help me because the card was purchased using a third party site. So I placed the merchandise on hold contacted Gyft along with the person who purchased the gift card for me so they could file a claim and waited for Gyft to resolve the issue. They gave me Gyft points to purchase another card a few days later. I then went back to the store to complete my purchase when I was told the card only had $24 on it. Again there was nothing they could do so I had to contact Gyft, and leave the store a second time with nothing. Gfyt sent me an email saying they had issues with their Target gift card inventory and again gave me some more Gyft points minus the $24 that was left on the Target gift card, as they left it for me to use on another purchase. So upon the next attempt I decided to use Target.com and purchase and online order since I had wasted my time and gas going into the store twice. After finding a couple items I tried to checkout and you guessed it the balance on the Target gift card was now $0 and I could not complete that purchase either. To top it off I used the remainder of the Gyft points to purchase a Macy's gift card, and Macy's cancelled the transaction at checkout because they apparently had to authenticate the funds. So it has been about a month and to date I've not been able to spend a single dollar from the Gyft gift card just my own time and gas. I've contacted Gyft yet again and am awaiting a reply. This has been a shopping nightmare and I would never use their services again.

I sent a $25 gift card for Burger King . The only way to use is to order online. None of the 11 Burger Kings I've tried will accept the GYFT card. It's a SCAM. Don't use this site!

My account was permanently closed or "permantently closed" according to there website. (They can't even properly spell on the user banned page...) I was banned without reason or explanation, I provided phone verification, email verification, paypal verification, and name verification and was still banned ?! I have emailed support and all I get is a run around B S copied and pasted excuse via email ! This gift card company is by far the worst in customer service, verification, and just overall a bad company. Don't bother wasting your time with this site as they will only F you over or waste your time.

Made me wait nearly 48 hours for a gift card i bought then denied the order. I waited 48 hours for absolutely nothing. I was so hyped for pizza till they ruined it. I was refunded the money but still was a bad experience. They also said it would only take 24 hours to pend.

As a start up they are probably ran by the worst people possible. Customer service is horrible -- when there was a promotion, they insisted that I did NOT apply the promo code and hence cannot honor the sale. Guess they'll be losing customers from the start.
