I just want to say that the the experience was quick to receive and easy to use once I had my gift. I have had other experiences where it took a long time to get the gift card. This is what all experiences should be like across many businesses.

Very disappointing experience with Blackhawk Network.

Despite spending a significant amount of money through this company, I have been extremely frustrated with the lack of customer service when an issue has arisen with my card.

I have been unable to speak to anyone, my emails have gone unanswered, and I have now been left waiting for four days without any answers or resolution.

It’s incredibly disappointing that a company handling customers’ money can provide such little support when something goes wrong. All I’m asking for is communication, transparency and assistance to resolve the issue.

I hope someone from Blackhawk Network takes notice and finally gets back to me

Shame afterpay makes us use Blackhawk

Shame afterpay makes us use Blackhawk.
Credit goes missing off giftcards, if you even get sent the giftcard you brought.
Takes forever get any support. Even then no help. .
No wonder everyone leaving afterpay for zip pay. They should've stayed with prezzee.

I see they replied. And of course I can't, so have to edit post.
But I am in no way wasting another day, trying get any support off them, even tho they pretend to care with a lengthy reply.
I paid for giftcard that has not been received, spent hours trying find someone who could help and nothing. Second time havent received card, and yes credit goes missing off cards. Never ever happened with prezzee. And always got 10000% support if ever needed it.
So disappointing having to use a company with zero respect for customers. I am not sending anymore info then I have already sent. That have order number, screenshots of how many times I had to call. Still nothing from them at all.

So go ahead dona reply looks like you care.
When in reality you couldn't give a damn.
Proof is also clear to see. You send a email from, "a do not reply" address so I can not reply to you. Just more proof how hard it is to get help. If you really wanted to help Josh, one would think you would have a open line communication, not a dog not reply email.
Thank you. Won't be wasting anymore time to reply to post again..
My money is gone, card never appeared.
Such a dodgy service..

Can't upload screenshots for proof. Don't know why.

What made it great was I did not have to hold on the phone for hours. There was a feature to request a call back.

The agent I spoke with was very friendly, helpful and got the process started immediately.

That process was very easy to follow, requesting my info, proof of purchase and was followed up and resolved promptly and will be awaiting my replacement cards in the mail.

Contacted customer service after having trouble redeeming gift cards. Agent took the information from me and told me the estimated timeframe it will take to have the issue resolved. Then I received 2 more follow-up emails in a timely matter to address my issue. Finally, my card redemption problem was taken care of within the timeframe promised. The whole process is very smooth and easy from the beginning.

I normally don't leave reviews

I normally don't leave reviews for anything but the service I got was very good. I got a fraudulent charge on a gift card I received and they worked with me to get it quickly fixed and sent messages along the way. I was honestly shocked and almost didn't bother but took the chance and was happy in the end and made whole.

Helped me through a myriad of issues

Great customer service. I experienced a slew of complications trying to secure rebates for appliance purchases for our home renovation. From mail-forwarding failures to black-cloud bad luck, the Blackhawk Network customer service team patiently worked with me to resolve multiple issues, including transitioning to virtual cards and working through expiration deadlines. I am sincerely appreciative of their efforts to help me obtain my rebates. They were very organized and followed through with every aspect of our conversations. Thank you!

I had some issues with gift cards I received. When I called customer service their wait times were long but their call back option made life easier and I was not required to wait on hold the whole time. When I received the call back the representative was super helpful, explained everything to me and went out of his way to help me out! I was very pleased with the encounter.
