Gift Card Spread

The Lowe’s card I purchased was refused at Lowe’s as being fraudulent and to date I haven’t been able to get any response from anyone at giftcardspread. Fortunately it isn’t for a large amount.

purchased two dunkin donut gift cards took days for them to process for no clear reason. got the cards, checked the balance and they were used by someone! Both cards are less than advertised and both cards are registered to someones account. buyer beware seems like they constantly have issues.

Fast customer service, polite & reliable. I ordered a $ 90 gift card for a restaurant and assumed it would be sent to my email immediately, when I did not get it right away I went online AFTER the fact and started reading reviews on Unilocal and panicked! I thought immediately I was scared and was disappointed because I wanted to use the gift card that day to take my parents out for supper. Well, I emailed GCS and told them my concerns, they responded within a half hour! They said it’s unfortunate that their satisfied customers don’t post more, they had my gift card attached for printing. Worked out great — took my parents out for supper, no problems. Iam here to say, they were great responding so fast and emailing my gift card in less then an hour — iam VERY satisfied with them, will definitely order from them again — great discounts on so many stores and restaurants!

This is stupid! I brought 2 $ 50 from this website, and it took them 1 day to send me the ecode (other website usually send me right away). And BOTH TWO DON’T WORK!!! It said «This code has already been redeemed»!!! I called their number, but nobody is there. I feel like this is a fraud!!!

These guys are ridiculous.
A few of my orders got rejected after hours of waiting with no particular reasons. I’ve ordered an electronic card on Saturday afternoon, it’s already Sunday evening and it still pending. Go elsewhere! And good luck reaching them on the phone!

This site sold me a e-​gift card, which came via e-​mail in a couple of days. I used half of it at the store. The second time I tried to use the e-​card, the supervisor at the store said their computers/​registers said that it was «restricted». I called Giftcard Spread three times and was told by a customer service person that the owner (?) would call me back. I also left a voicemail. No call back.
I e-​mailed the company at
. It took a while, but I heard back that they would look into the issue. Then several days later, they e-​mailed that they would refund the money from the card. It took several days, but they did refund the whole amount of the e-​card. I think e-​mail is the best way to get them to address issues.
Perhaps if I buy another card from them, I will be sure and use the whole thing in one purchase transaction.
I have had better luck with Cardpool, but perhaps this company is in a learning curve.

I offered them a Gift Card and received a canned email that said I would have a response within 24 hours — they «promised.» Last time I checked, that was one day. They don’t keep their promises. It’s now 4 days later and I’ve heard nothing, despite two additional follow up emails to «customer service.»

I purchased a Whole Foods card from them — used about a third of it and went back to use some more either the same day or the next. I was told at the check out counter the card balance was zero. I left and obtained a transaction history on the card from Whole Foods which showed that I had used approximately $ 170 of the card balance (in Kansas) and «someone in New Jersey» had used the remaining balance of approximately $ 230.
I contacted Gift Card Spread — no answer on the phone so I emailed. Received a «form» email back saying they «were looking into it». It has now been several days — zero, nada, not even a formally presented «f.u.». They have the «Trusted by Better Business Bureau» stamp on their website. I think it may be time for the BBB to reconsider…
I will stick with Giftcard Zen going forward — they sell cards that aren’t compromised, stand behind their business and answer their phone — wow, what a concept.

Either this is a scam or just really, really bad customer service. The website says that new customers will receive their eGiftcards within 1 – 3 business days after they do a phone verification to prevent fraud. I ordered Dec 26, knowing that they were not open for business until Dec 28. Fine.
The morning of Dec 28, my debit card was charged, but my account indicated that my eGiftcard was «awaiting shipment». Dec 30, I called twice and left messages to find out the status of my order (since the website indicated they needed phone verification, but they already had my money by this point).
I called a third time several hours later and finally got through, but the man who answered was very difficult to understand (clearly struggling with English as a 2^nd or 3^rd language). Eventually, I figured out that he was saying that they needed a bank verification (remember, though, that they already had my money– clearly they’d communicated with the bank at least once).
He hung up and called me back where I was now the third in a three way call between me, him, and someone who claimed to be from my bank (could have been, but how was I to know?). The «banker» wanted to verify personal information with me over this three way call and the man wanted to verify personal information with the «banker.» I felt really, really uncomfortable by this point. Even if the banker really was from my bank, why would I want to answer security questions with a 3^rd party merchant also on the line? Those particular answers could give access to my entire bank account!
If they are doing these things in the name of «security», then let’s do it in a more secure way. And check the security of the order BEFORE charging my account. I’ve asked for a refund and will go to my bank for a dispute if any more weirdness comes of this. Very unnerving, uncomfortable experience.

I purchased an e card thru them and received a phone call from someone I could barely understand due to their accent. They asked for me to verify the phone number which I did, and I’ve received an email several hours later that the transaction has been cancelled without an error stating why. I doubt I’ll receive the refund so I’ll just dispute it with my credit card company now.

BUYER BEWARE, I did not check them out first, funny thing, i went to a different site and they high-​jacked the order. Cancelled with my CC right away, their email and odd phone system scared me away immediately.

Sent 5 or 6 emails and no response.
Now I’m about $ 500 in the hole.
They should be shut down immediately.
I have written to the state department for good measure.
Do not do business with these clowns. RISKY

Didn’t receive my electronic gift card.
How long does it take to email a single card number?
They didn’t respond to emails.
They don’t answer the phone.
Because they wouldn’t answer the phone or respond to email, I contacted my bank to cancel payment.

First two cards took a few days to process, this 3^rd one has taken over a week. They don’t answer their phones, they don’t respond to emails. Had to call the c/​c company to block them.
Horrible! This is why I just use other companies. Won’t name them, but they’ve been mentioned in other reviews. I personally go to Gift Card Granny first and shop around. GCSpread always has great deals, but the never process the cards in time and are unresponsive and impossible to get a hold of.
Use someone else!

I ordered an electronic gift card on ¹¹⁄₂₈. Still not processed on ¹²⁄₈ despite an email asking them to do so. I did not receive a response to my email.

Horrible non-​responsive customer service. They sold me a gift card several dollars shy of the face value and what I paid for it. After leaving countless phone messages and sending several e-​mails, I have received no response. I recommend using Raise, Gift Card Bin, Card Cash, Save Ya, or anyone but them!!!

GIFT CARD SPREAD IS RIDICULOUS STAY AWAY!!! YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!
Ordered 3 electronic gift cards on Saturday. Notice on Monday evening still did not have the cards so decided to call. CSR says there is a policy to verify customer information before they can release order. Name, address, is all fine… last four of SS#? Card number? Uhhh. no She then says she needs to call me on my phone to verify it is me. Ok… So I wait. wait some more. no call. I call back get the same lady and she acts like she was going to call another day. REALLY? This place is flaky… Use Gift Card Zen or Raise

Do not buy from Gift Card Spread. They take too long to process orders and don’t offer refunds. There are much better gift card sites online like Raise, ABC Gift Cards, or Gift Card Zen out there.

Horrible, and I don’t write bad reviews. Bought a gift card from them, made a purchase with it for something I needed in a little less than 2 weeks. Item gets shipped soon after purchase, I check the tracking and I will have it a few days earlier than I need. Check the tracking a couple days later since it had to go through customs and sometimes that causes a delay, and I see that the status of the package now reads «sender has requested a new shipping address». So I call the company, they forward me to someone from their fraud team and they proceed to tell me that the gift cards I used were purchased with stolen credit cards. Immediately I feel that the guy I’m talking to believes I had something to do with it, so I explain to him the situation and he proceeds to tell me that they had it sent back to their office. This now made my package late, luckily the company was very good about helping me out and gave me a discount and overnight shipped it when they got it, since I did complain that they did not contact me about the problem but that’s a different story/​review. Anywho I call GCS right when I get off the phone with the company, I had the guy send me an email so if GCS decided to give me any pushback I had proof. I was told by the man on the phone that I would be given a full refund, and I’d see it in about 5 business days, so I was happy. 17 days later however I had still not been refunded, I called two days ago over and over and was not able to even contact an agent, I called yesterday and got a hold of someone who told me the delay was because they had to investigate my claims which was not what I was originally told and was then told again that I’d be getting my refund. I still sit here waiting for said refund, I received not even a single apology from anyone I spoke to and was not offered anything to keep my as a customer. To the reverse the company I ordered the product from which was callaway offered me a discount, free overnight shipping and were very helpful in attempting to get me the product in a timely manner. I don’t often write negative reviews but I felt that this was one I had to write.

This is the absolute worst site and worst people to ever try to deal with!!! Horrible site. Horrible people.
I try to buy a gift card. This is the ONLY gift card site that asks you a series of CREEPY, highly personal questions (Social Security number, etc) supposedly in the name of a required «One time online verification.» Beware!
Next and surprisingly, they INSIST on calling you on the phone. (Now it’s supposedly all for required «One time phone verification») After they called, they refused to process my order. They leave me this info on voicemail and tell me to call back between certain hours, which I did MANY, MANY TIMES. No one answers every single time. Not even an outgoing message on their voicemail… NOTHING. Nothing at all.
After 6 days of hassling with this idiotic garbage, they canceled my order.
AVOID THIS SITE AT ALL COSTS!!!
