Extremely disappointing customer service

Extremely disappointing customer service – Think twice before using this company!

Despite spending over $15,000 with this company, the support and service we have received have been incredibly disappointing.

We have an order that has been stuck in “Processing” since 1 October 2026. After lodging a support case on 19 October, we have repeatedly had to chase their team for updates, only to be given incorrect timeframes and conflicting information.

We were initially told 1–2 business days, then advised this information was incorrect and that it would take 3–5 business days. When we called again seeking an update, we were simply told to wait another two days, with absolutely no meaningful information about what is causing the delay or when it will actually be resolved.

What makes this even more frustrating is that we have continued to place other orders without issue, yet this one remains unresolved. There has been no proactive communication, no clear explanation and no accountability. We have had to do all the chasing ourselves.

Spending thousands of dollars with a company should count for something, but our experience has made us seriously question whether this company values its customers at all.

If you value reliable service, honest timeframes and basic communication, I would strongly recommend looking elsewhere. Save yourself the frustration and consider alternative providers!

Would give 0 reviews if I could got a Asda gift card through clearpay at 12:35 and still not able to redeem. Tried to call all day but just get an automated message and then cut off. I would not recommend these at all I have sent over 30 emails today to which I’ve had the same reply each time. My last email stated I would contact the financial ombudsman if this was not rectified. If they can’t give the gift card they should just refund seems to be a common thing them stealing money at the minute stay well clear!!

Scam. Avoid at all costs

I am really convinced this entire company is a scam. I ended up having to deal with them due to using honeyfund for my wedding and I would give anything to go back and pay the fee to have it deposited directly into my Venmo account. To date I have spent over 4 hours over the last 2 months chasing down $1800 they are holding hostage due to “security issues” despite having successfully transferred and spent that amount through their platform. I have provided them with EVERY documentation they have asked for, I have had to call and follow up just to learn they need a different piece of information and no one alerted me. I have sent multiple emails that have gone un answred. Most recently I was assured I would receive a response within 2 business days and that was almost 5 days ago now. Positive reviews must be paid, this is almost definitely an elaborate scam with absolutely no accountability.

UPDATE:

There is no email from that address in my inbox or spam despite having sent everything to you so once again the onus is on me to reach out. I am currently on hold and there were 9 people ahead of me when I first got in the queue and now there are 11? This is of course after waiting 5 hours for a callback that never came. You guys are trash.

They helped replace a lost $150 card!

I had purchased a $150 virtual Visa Card at Kroger as a gift for my wife. We transferred the information to her Google Wallet and inadvertently disposed of the email with that information. My wife didn't use the Wallet for over a month. When she went to use it, Google had deleted it from the Wallet. Fortunately we had the activation slip and receipts from Kroger. We emailed that information to Blackhawk. After a few courteous email exchanges with customer service verifying info etc. they tracked down the missing card and sent us a replacement. With the hundreds of thousands of cards that they deal with, it was gratifying that they diligently found that needle in a haystack. It speaks well of their information storage strategy. We love the other Blackhawk cards, especially when they are 4X points and 200 Bonus points at Kroger. We can give them out as gifts or just have them available while we are traveling. Hats off to their staff as well!
