Overall good service

Relatively straightforward ordering process. My gift card purchase was bought as (obviously) a gift for my brother's 80th birthday but at the start of the process there was no obvious way of sending it to him. That missing link became clear further down the line but the whole thing could have been a tad more straightforward.
Overall though, good service and prompt delivery of the digital card to my brother.

Hi Daphne Darby, 

Thank you for your feedback, and I am very sorry to hear that you still have not received your gift card despite checking your inbox and spam folders.

If you are using Google Mail, please also check your Promotions folder, as Gmail often automatically filters digital voucher emails into that specific tab. Unfortunately, once the email leaves our system, we have no control over how individual email providers choose to route or filter it.

We want to make sure you get your gift card, so please reply or contact us again at support@giftcard.co.uk if it is still nowhere to be found. We will gladly sort this out for you immediately and can resend the voucher details manually, even to an alternative email address if you prefer.

With kind regards,

I purchased a gift card for £100 and…

I purchased a gift card for £100 and when I tried to use it, it was already redeemed. I contacted the company emsil and all I got was to contact Amaxon. This went on for 3 days back and forth with emails, still no active gift card. The last email I had was that the card was cancelled, no one could tell me who did it or why. At this point I was really frustrated, mad and so angry as this was the first time I purchased a gift card. Never again. Im still waiting for a replacement card or refund, I am not prepared to walk away with nothing £100 is alot to loose.

My advice would be not to purchase through this platform its been a nightmare for me. Cant even speak to a person its all done by email.

I understand your disappointment and the concerns raised around the lack of a clear resolution. I can see that this has since been passed over to our internal team, who will carry out a further review to understand what happened and assist in the matter.

Extremely disappointing customer service!

I am extremely disappointed with both the customer service and the way my complaint has been handled.

I successfully purchased £100 worth of the correct gift vouchers and, only minutes later, accidentally purchased the wrong £300 digital voucher after what appeared to be an issue with the website during checkout. As soon as I realised the mistake, I contacted customer services immediately, before the voucher had been redeemed, and simply requested that the unused voucher be exchanged for the correct one.

Rather than investigating my complaint or considering the circumstances, I received repeated template responses quoting their cancellation policy. My complaint was never addressed as a genuine ordering error, despite the fact that I had purchased the correct vouchers just minutes beforehand, clearly demonstrating my intention.

I fully appreciate that digital vouchers have different terms and conditions. However, I expected a company to exercise a degree of common sense and customer care where a genuine mistake was reported immediately and the voucher remained unused. An exchange for the correct voucher of the same value would have resolved the matter without any apparent loss to the business.

As a company, we purchase gift cards as rewards for employees who successfully refer new members of staff. We had intended to continue using Giftcard.co.uk for our employee incentive scheme, but following this experience, we will now be sourcing our vouchers from an alternative supplier.

To make matters worse, the majority of the correspondence took place via Instagram, which I found wholly inappropriate for dealing with a £300 customer complaint. I also submitted a formal written complaint by email, which has gone unanswered. In my opinion, this is an unprofessional way to deal with customers.

Unfortunately, this experience has left me with no confidence in either the company's customer service or its willingness to deal fairly with genuine customer issues. I cannot recommend them based on my experience.

Hello Dean Bartholomew,

Thank you for taking the time to leave your review. I'm sorry to hear how disappointing this experience has been for you.

As outlined in my email to you, I've reviewed your case and appreciate that you contacted us very shortly after placing the order, before the vouchers had been used. Whilst we're unable to cancel or exchange National Garden Gift Vouchers ourselves, as they're managed by a third-party provider and aren't cancellable from our side, I've escalated your request and asked our gift card provider to arrange for the vouchers to be deactivated.

As soon as I receive an update, I'll let you know. If the vouchers can be cancelled or devalued, we'll then be able to discuss the next steps with you.

I also appreciate your feedback regarding both the ordering process and your experience with our customer service. Your comments have been shared with the relevant teams for review. Hoping we're able to bring this matter to a satisfactory conclusion and your patience is surely appreciated while we continue to pursue this on your behalf.

With kind regards,
Susy - Team Giftcard.co.uk

Such terrible service & daylight robbery

Such terrible service and have basically stolen the money from my friend who tried to gift me a special treat for my birthday.

I have asked them for a PIN to a retailer gift card I redeemed on their site and they say it’s nothing to do with them and tried to pass me on to the retailer who cannot help because they didn’t generate the code.

Hello Jessica,

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. I'm sorry this has left you feeling let down, especially as the gift was intended to mark a special birthday.

I completely understand how upsetting and frustrating this situation must be. Not all retailer gift cards require a PIN, as this varies depending on the retailer. Where a PIN is needed, we can only access it for a limited period after the gift card has been issued. After that, it is no longer available to us for privacy and security reasons, as we are a reseller rather than the card issuer. I understand this can be confusing, especially if you've been directed between different parties.

That said, I don't want you to feel passed from one place to another. If you'd be willing to contact our support team again with the order details and address your email to me, I'll be happy to look into this further and work with the retailer to see if I can help resolve the issue.

With kind regards,
Susy - Team Giftcard.co.uk

Hello,

Thank you for your feedback. I'm sorry to hear your experience got off to such a frustrating start. 

Our payment system is secure, but some banks may apply additional restrictions to transactions with international merchants, even when there’s no issue with the platform itself. I appreciate that this can be inconvenient and understand why it affected your experience.

If there's anything we can do to assist further in any way, please feel free to reach out at support@giftcard.co.uk.

Very helpful after my error.

Very helpful after my error.
I entered the wrong email address for a gift card, and upon checking up on this, the company sent out a new e-card to the right email address. It would have been easy not to honour it and to say someone else could use it if they had that email address, but they were speedy in their response and generous in their actions. Thank you very much!

Hello Benjamin Maycock,

Thanks for sharing your experience. I'm genuinely sorry your experience felt so disappointing. When you’re expecting something straightforward like a gift card and the process stalls, it really does take the shine off.

Looking back over the correspondence with our support team, I can see that we really did try to help you get things sorted. For reasons outside our control, the fee payments kept declining, which meant the system simply wouldn’t allow the redemption for the gift cards you were aiming for. Because of that, the order couldn’t go any further and was cancelled, with the payment returned to your original method.

Modern tech is brilliant when it works, but when it doesn’t, it can leave you feeling stuck, and we completely get that. 

With kind regards,,
