I got the card I needed, but your system was slow and the limitations on addressee & sender are a hindrance.

All is good, but should be more space for sender's info, and for message to gift recipient.

No personal message

Wondering why I wasn't prompted to write a message for the e-gift card I sent. I was waiting to see the box where I could write a personalized message. Sent it without one and that sucks.

They mark cards for fraud and make purchasers jump through inconvenient hoops

Immediately marked an activated card as fraudulent activity. Customer service said a backend team needs 2 business days to review and the likely only recourse is to mail a new gift card which defeated the whole purpose of purchasing a virtual card, or send a refund CHECK and I'm out the fee while trying to track a check in the mail, and we have no gift card. Unable to refund card I purchased it on. Extremely inconvenient and negative experience. The CS phone line you call into feel scammy in nature.This practice of shutting down a card so quickly comes off like a strategy to scam money for the purchase fee or hope people never cash their check or follow up on their mailed gift card.

It works the way you would expect it to work. It's not confusing. They really get the gift card by email (if you chose that option). The service is basic, which is exactly what you want when making a basic purchase. I use this site every couple of months and it just works, which is all I really need it to do when buying someone a gift card lol
