Saved me so much time buying digital cards for my team incentives rather than having to go and buy physical cards.

It's easy to buy and redeem a gift card. However, it's a bit time-wasting to activate the card after purchased.

Company details

Written by the company

Based in Melbourne, Australia, The Card Network was founded with one purpose, to inspire the way people gift. We design gift cards for gifting, and we design systems to make it easier for gifts to be given. Why? Because we know it is more than a gift card. It could be a thank you, happy birthday, I love you or even a welcome to the world! Either way, it's so much more than a gift card. It is a chance to provide happiness and gratitude, and there is nothing better than that.

Hey Christine,

Thank you for your kind words. We're glad to be an easy gifting option for you. Approval for purchase may take up to 48 hours due to our security processes. We completely understand how frustrating this hold can be. Customer security is a top priority for us. We appreciate your understanding while we complete our security checks.

Great gift idea and the whole process…

Great gift idea and the whole process was simple. Not sure why they review the purchase before you recieve the digital card, as I thought online purchases of digital gift cards would have processed instantly. Took over 24 hours but we got it, so im happy and will purchase again in the future.

Hi Katie,

Thanks for your review! We're so glad to hear you found the process simple to follow.

We have security processes in place for all orders to help protect both our customers and the gift card recipients, which can occasionally mean digital cards aren’t delivered instantly. We really appreciate your patience while this happens.

Thanks again for your support. We’re glad everything arrived safely and look forward to helping you again in the future.

Visually pleasant!

I really like the visual experience of the website, and found it easy to navigate. The requirement to pay to convert to, for instance, a VISA giftcard, was a little bit of a sting, but manageable.
