Great alternative but pricey
I think the idea is great, but the charges were a little much. Also, I would receive emails even when someone opted to send a paper voucher so the paper voucher in the mail was never a surprise...
Response from Traveler's JoyNov 7, 2017
Dear Mar, Thank you for your feedback. In order for Traveler's Joy to pay its people a living wage, provide 24/7 customer service, and keep the lights running, we have to pass along the fees assessed to us by credit card companies. I understand your frustration and wish there was more I could do but the convenience of using a credit card has a % fee associated with it that we can't afford to cover and still operate. In addition, couples make the choice to whom fees are assessed and how the fee is divided, if at all. In 2015 we created a 100% free registry option whereby gift givers can choose to give a gift with cash or check and still mark items off the couple's registry. You make a great point about receiving an email in addition to the gift notification card thus removing the surprise element of the gift notification card. I'll share this feedback with our team. I'm happy to talk to you more about this and your overall experience with Traveler's Joy. Please email me at [brandon] [at] [travelersjoy][dot][com]. Best Regards, Brandon Warner Co-founder & CEO Traveler's Joy Skip the blender. Register your honeymoon.
