Updated (improved rating thanks to great customer service) "dangerous URLs and unmatching security certificate!
A friend purchased a 100 Visa Gift Card for me for Christmas but when I click on the link to access I am immediately warned by security software that the page is "suspicious" - the security certificate they are using is one that was issued for a completely different site and it was also flagged for containing "dangerous URLS" - accessing could place data at risk. No way for my friend to receive her money back and no safe way for me to access the card. Did a quick search to see so many reports of fraud / scam and now you can add mine to the list. Update (2/10/26): as you can see they responded as though they planned to rectify this however despite filling out the information they requested the same day (2/5/26) it's been 5 days and I've never received any follow up. I will update this again should it get resolved but at this point I don't have a lot of confidence that it will. Update: A late update but wanted to make sure I was able to use the credit before posting again. Despite the issues with the website their customer service was great - responding right away and provided me with the option of a physical gift card that was mailed out and received within a few days. When I first attempted to use in a store it prompted me for a pin # which the paper work that came with the card did not mention so that was frustrating but when I more recently used for an online purchase it went thru with no problems. Hope they resolved the security issues on their website - but I'm updating the rating based on the customer service for resolving the issue and ensuring I could use my gift card.
