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.

brought a amazon gift card said could take up to 3 hpurs its beena lmost 5 hours and still havnt got.. if dont get soon iama file a claim with the Better Business Bureau

Glad to see that they're getting the negative publicity they deserve here. They marked my transaction "Pending", but gave me no indication why. When I emailed support I just got a template email response saying "We do not have the specific details on why your order did not process and that is for your privacy and security." and when I called support they repeated the same talking point like a mindless, heartless robot. Well thank you Gyft for not providing your service and not giving me a clue as to why... all for my benefit apparently. I'm just a normal person, at one time a potential customer who was eager to give you guys repeat business, but instead I'm now super motivated to vent my frustration in as public a forum as I can get my keys on. As a customer, I don't want YOUR concept of a benefit, I want MINE!

If there was a lower score than one I would use it. I was on vacation in Colorado and Best Buy inadvertently canceled an order for $1700 that I made with $525 worth of GYFT virtual gift certificates. I needed the number's from the Virtual GYFT certificates again in order to rebuy the cancelled order from Best Buy. When I tried to contact customer service through their toll free line I waited 45 minutes on the phone at the store in Colorado just to have someone answer said hello then immediately hung up on me. So I'm trying to keep my Cool through the second and yes a third call was was placed. 4.5 hours at the store in Colorado (did I say I live in NY) because GYFT left me at the curb !!! So the moral to the story NEVER do business that has that BAD a customer service record online ALWAY check the ratings to see how their rated !! (and to think I've bought over $6000. in GYFT cards in the past. BUT NO MORE (Yes in Colorado but this was a Mother's Day gift for delivery the friday before so I had no Choice & my wife found out also which was awful.)
