GiftCardSpread

There I was buying a cheap gift card, thinking I saved 10% but in reality lost 100% instead.
Everything went smooth, I got my email confirmation, got the gift card, and then I try to use it - denied!
Their phone number doesn't pick up. Their email doesn't even give me an automatic reply to let me know there's a case number or any sort of receipt or acknowledgement of my claim. You'd think this site is legit because it's featured in many places, has promo codes, and their return policy sounds perfect. But no, it's a total crapshoot. Sounds like it works for some not for others - I'd expect good customer service at the very least.
Otherwise shut it down! Unbelievable.

Went through their process and they ripped me off completely. They got my five gift cards for over 200 bucks and I got nothing! Total scam.

I posted 2 cards I wanted to sell and they have never responded but took the money off my card have filed police report and talked to merchant and have proof of account dates screen shots etc

I uploaded and sold them a buffalo wild wings $25 gift card. Sent proof of ID. I sent countless emails about payment and received an email that they were sending payment. That was two months ago. I never received anything.

I bought a Marshalls giftcard yesterday afternoon on giftcardspread.com for $400 because it was an e gift card and I needed it immediately.
I was a little scared when I purchased from giftcardspread because of the reviews, and was frozen of descry an issue.
But this morning I received a called from customer support to verify that I did buy a GC, and it was activated at that moment.
Thanks Giftcardspread.

THEY SOLD ME A CARD WITH A ZERO BALANCE THAN REFUSED TO REIMBURSE ME. THEY ARE LIARS AND THIEVES. I EVEN DID ALL THE RESEARCH ON THE GIFTCARD WITH THE ACTUAL RETAILER. THE CARD HAD ZERO BALANCE BEFORE IT WAS SOLD TO ME! DO U BELIEVE THIS?

I purchased 600$ apple store gift card and they never delivered it to me
No replies on email or call keeps me waiting.
I was able to talk through phone only once and they said is we are not able to verify with your bank, I said then cancel my order and give me refund. They said they will look into the matter and get back to me. Lost my 600$

I tried to purchase a movie ticket using gift cards purchased at giftcardspread.com and ended up entirely frazzled with the vendor and its website checkout process. I was frustrated then I called giftcardspread to see why I might be having so many problems. Then rep to be exceptionally helpful and knowledgeable. He went the extra mile to help sort things and the problem(s) resided with the seller and not gift card spread. Thank you!

I sold them ten $100 gift cards which they received on June 30th (sent by certified mail so I would have proof of receipt). I was told I would get a check within 10 days. After 10 days with no check, I called to be told they were having technical difficulties and couldn't process checks so they asked for my banking information and said that I would get an ACH deposit in 2-3 days. After 4 days with no ACH deposit, I called again to be told they were having more technical difficulties and they couldn't process any payments (either by check or ACH deposit for 2-3 weeks). It has been 3 and 1/2 weeks with no payment. Now whenever I try to call, it just rings and rings before going to voicemail. They have not responded to any of my emails or returned any of my voicemails. I only gave them a 1 star rating because I couldn't give them a no star rating. DO NOT USE GCS!

Got a great deal on a BJs Wholesale Club Gift Card, The card was invalid. I called them and immediately they sent me the correct one. And again, they called up to make sure that I received it. Terrific client services.

WARNING: The criminals running this website have established a brand new one called GiftCardOutlets in summer 2021. I was scammed by these two Indian guys there, but they have no listing on Google so I am leaving my review below on their first "business" page:

This "company" is 100% a scam. I submitted a bid for a Tractor Supply Gift Card and was counter-offered a bit less. I decided to accept their offer and provided the card number and PIN along w/ my credit card number for security. This is fairly standard for the larger, and actually legitimate gift card re-sellers, as they need to secure your card to ensure that you do not sell it to them and then turn around and use up the gift card after having pocketed the cash. I have had good experiences with cardcash.com and giftcardgranny.com in the past using this exact method. Well, I should have known better having found out this site/"company" has only been in business since this past summer. Shame on me, I should have known better.

Anyhow, 2 weeks goes by and no direct deposit has been issued. I call and get a man with a middle eastern accent who assures me it can take up to 3-4 weeks to process payments during the holiday season. Same day I check my TSC card balance and its all still there. Well, I wait until the week before Christmas as instructed and can't get anyone on the phone all week now. I login and check my TSC card and its zeroed out. Great, so someone must've purchased the card from them and spent it up (still pretty typical for a transaction like this). No, in fact found out direct from TSC that the gift card was used at a store location in the same town as this "business" is located in. Haha ok, so they were gracious enough to re-issue the gift card for me (Thanks TSC!). I reported these guys to the BBB and on a couple other scam tracking websites like this one, chalk it up as a lesson learned for myself - Be smarter about these sites and research them more before doing business lol. Well, tonight I get a $1200 transaction from target.com... then another $1200 as I'm dialing my bank's fraud hotline... Then another $1200 on hold... They finally get my card frozen (WTF took Navy Fed so long I have no idea, they routinely freeze my account for gassing up my truck down the road from where I live for God's sake lol). While on the phone with them waiting for a new card to be reissued and mailed, get hit with 6-7 more notifications of declined transactions at target.com for my old, and now cancelled, credit card. Guess where the merchandise was supposed to be sent? You better believe it, same town this "business" resides in.

Needless to say, these criminals aren't too bright (Ok, Admitedly they got mine and at least a few other people's info haha, but seriously mailing the goods right to yourself and using the customer's gift cards down the road?). So to sum it all up, I was lucky to make out whole on the situation with a valuable lesson... And as of 20 minutes ago, the Chicago PD has a boatload of evidence (screen shots, phone call transcripts, email communications, photos) to [hopefully] pursue these criminals in the near future. But consider yourself well warned, STAY AWAY FROM www.giftcardoutlets.com AS IT IS 1000% A SCAM.

It was a good experience. This is first time where in i purchased gift card to get more discount on Forever 21. The support guys cleared all my queries.

Cards were provided at a significant (but realizable) discount & shipped (after - what at the time was an undocumented - identitiy verification step).

Ifool me once, shame on you. You know the rest. Unfortunately, I had purchased both useless cards before trying either. Company response? Nothing. Never emailed me back to address my concerns.
My Einstein Brothers card, turns out, was used 3 states over, a week after I purchased it.

My Panda Express giftcard requires a pin, which I never received, and after several inquiries, don't think i will.

I purchased two $50 gift cards to PF Changs. They were both delivered via email. When I paid my bill I was informed by the manager that both cards had a zero balance. Fortunately I had only purchased them the day before and was able to call my credit card company and stop payment on the bogus gift cards. I called Gift Card Spread and left a message but I have not heard any reply from them. BUYER BEWARE.

Ripped off!

I buy a lot of gift cards especially for restaurants. I purchased about $500 for BJ's Restaurant last October. We usually go out once a week or so, not as much around the holidays.

I tried using a gift card over the weekend and I was told that this was already used. A very embarrassing situation. Order # BO-******* on 09/14/2018 BJ's restaurant Brewhouse for $50.00 card # **************258 pin # 6959 The manager was able to look this up and said it was used on 12/21/2018 in Miami. Please let me know what I can do about this. A very unhappy customer...

This was there reply:
We regret to inform your that since this order is beyond the 60 day return policy as listed on the terms on our website, we are unable to assist your with the issue with this purchase.

I didn't want my money back or anything, I just wanted something that worked.

Got burnt twice, stay away. I lost a couple hundred dollars.
Customer service stinks! Several emails not answered.
Very frustrating.

I seriously appreciate how easy they could actually resolve the problems I had created with all the gift card I get. Thanks

This company is not worth your money or time. They sold me a gift card to Denny's for 89.00. I did not use it for a few months until we went out of town. It was no good and I found out that the amount was removed just 30 days after I purchased it. Gift card spread would not honor it and you can hardly get them to answer your emails and they definitely do not return phone calls. Don't buy cards from them!

I was sold a 75.00 gift card to Black Angus that had zero balance. I was told at the restaurant there was an incident in early 2017 of illegally obtained BA gift cards. GC spread refused to refund my money. I get the refund expiration period but this is not buyers remorse this is a questionable transaction, to begin with. I will not be buying from GC spread again and I will review them on every site I can find with this information.

The discounts available on the gift cards is great. It is easy to receive the cards and use them. I received my gift card by mail.

Spamming my email address like no tomorrow. Stay away from them at all costs possible. Terrible company.

Unfortunately, I did nod do my homework before placing order. Sure enough, as described in many previous reviews, the order was canceled by GiftCardSpreader without any explanation within few hours after initial placement. I suspect that company may be collecting a personal info.
