Don't waste your time, just send cash. If anything goes wrong, they make excuses, unnecessary changes, and then tell you you're stuck with it/ it's your problem (even when gift card is unusable). Is all that hassle worth the $5 reward they dangle? No. You're making them loads of money and it takes you hundreds of dollars spent to see money back with their reward system.Review from Gregory K

Gen Z Customer Serve! Here's my chain of crappy events: The issue: "ACTION REQUIRED You must verify the code sent to your phone number before your gift card order can be delivered." I entered a land-line phone number when checking out. 1. Customer Service phone number is laughable. The message says, at some point, "If you want to speak/chat with a live agent, go online" - USELESS. 2. Robot chat that goes in circles - never a true person. I typed "live agent" three time, twice being rebutted and requesting I choose a topic. Then finally, the third time, I was asked by the robot for my contact information, SO THEY CAN SEND A SUPPORT EMAIL. I'm not making this up... 3. Email received from support(at)giftcardgranny.zendesk.com, "Your request has been received and is being reviewed by our support staff. To add additional comments, reply to this email. Here are some great articles that may help:" - More articles that don't apply, and more none verbal requests to communicate. Eventually after an hour+ of educating myself on GCG website, calling and listening to loops that lead nowhere, Chatting with no one, and then finally emailing my issue to eventually a person (initial email was a robot as well), my simple issue of was resolved.

I recently went to use my gift card, which was a gift from my aunt. The card declined even though I hadnt used it yet. When I looked at transaction history, it said Card balance cleared by Partner and the amount was removed from the card. I called customer service and they said they cant tell me what happened due to risk/compliance reasons. They issued a refund to my aunts credit card, which is frustrating because now its on her to buy me a new card? They refused to send me, the recipient a new card. I think someone from their company is taking money off of cards that they think no one is using.Review from Xiaomin F

Terrible experience with this website and customer service. I placed an order on 2/24/2024 to buy an virtual gift card using guest checkout. The charge was authorized by my credit card issuer. Then the order was canceled by giftcardgranny without reason. I call the customer service phone number, only the voice system was available to tell me if the order was canceled, nothing can be done. On 3/2/2024, I signed up an account at giftcardgranny.com to buy a physical gift card to thank someone. After clicking Place your order, the webpage printed error saying "Your account information has been reviewed and we are not able to accept new orders from your account or it's associated information going forward." I call the customer service phone number again, no human but the voice system speak in a endless loop. GiftcardGranny, if you abuse your customers and no customer care, then you will get customer feedback in customer review rating.Review from Madison C

This website is a scam. I was gifted a $50 gift card by a relative. My relative could see that I hadn't claimed my card yet and when I went to open the email and claim my card, there were fraudulent charges made and there was nothing left. I tried contacting customer support and they told me that there was nothing they could do even though the "e gift card" was used before I even received it. Seems like this has happened to a lot of peopleReview from Tom A

This is a fraudulent company. I ordered a gift card for my brothers birthday and he never received it and it still shows as in transit. I tried to call their phone number and is a BS number that says congratulations, you pressed star. This doesnt mean you are a star, only that you pressed star and it repeats this over and over again. I tried their chat option and it keeps you in a circle and asks you the same questions over and over. This site needs to be closed down.Review from Dogg K

This Gift Card Granny scam is run by the very people that steal from you. Don't trust them. They are from ***** with fake web sites for Better business bureau and ADP companies. They are all untrustworthy.Review from Karen M

This is a scam. I activated my card, and it shows that I have a $50 balance, but it has been declined by every merchant I have taken it to. *******. ******. Several restaurants. Their customer service is not helpful at all. They said the ******* cashier did something wrong.

Absolutely horrible experience. Ordered a gift card and used the promo they show on their website for free shipping JANUARY24 - was in the process of completing my order for $104.95 only to find that when I checked my credit card that I was still charged $106.94 for the $1.99 shipping even though the total that was reflected on the screen took off the $1.99 for their promo code. Then found out the only way to reach anyone is through a chat system that was zero help. Tried to call the number on the website and it says it's not even a valid number! Complete SCAM!! I will be disputing this with my credit card company - never again.Gift Card Granny Response

Thank you, ********, for posting your comments with the Better Business Bureau.The toll-free support phone # ************ has no reported issues and we have no support requests associated with your contact information or orders.As you are likely aware, your first two purchase attempts failed because we were unable to charge your payment card. You can verify with your payment card provider the first order DID have the Free Shipping Promo credit (attempted purchase $104.95).Promo codes may only be used once per client, so your third order attempt did not apply the Promo Code. We have issued a credit for the $1.99 shipping fee. This credit will appear on your statement typically in 1-3 business days. You may independently verify this with your payment card issuer.I am sending you email, so you have my full contact information for any personal support.Thank you!************************* Chief **************************************** Telephone *********************
