Shocked to see so many 1 review hacks, probably the same person. This site has been a rock that will save you a lot of money. 95% of the cards are fully loaded. Any rare card I get with low or no funds are taken care of right away. Always refunded right away. Wonderful site.

“BEWARE, STAY AWAY FROM THIS FRAUDULENT WEBSITE”

Scam ALERT! I bought a couple of Kohl's gift cards, but after I put all my information including credit card, address, and personal information, they canceled my order without any explanation and NEVER refunded my payment. They now have all my information what is my biggest concern. I already disputed the transaction with my credit card company and reported them to the IC3 and also requested a replacement credit card. BEWARE! STAY AWAY FROM THOSE FRAUDSTERS! In case you need gift cards, go to legit websites like: Raise, Cardcash and Cardcookie.

Bought a 100 dollar gift card and tried to used I was told card had no balance check balance online and saw the card had 100 in May in June the balance was 0 and I bought 2 months later in August so they sold a giftcard with 0 balance I asked for a refund They told me they don't refund after 45 days. Stay away go to raise.com or giftcardzen they have good review and are trusted. Most other places gift 100 day or 365 day for refund if nothing on card.

In case you've been living under a rock, don't you people know a good portion of these gift cards are sold to these sites by bad guys who used someone's credit card to load up these cards?!?!?! OF COURSE they're not going to be good after you get them. Cripes, wise up people. Chances are at least one other person has the same gift card number as you. And if a site says you can't register a gift card, or the PIN is already scratched... RED FLAG. Stop buying from these places just to save a buck. I can't believe how gullible y'all are! Do your research and smarten up, stop motivating bad guys to keep doing this crap.

I purchased a $300 gift card to men's wearhouse for my boyfriend to buy a nice suit. After I bought it, about a week later, I checked the balance and it was there. A few weeks later we went to get the suit and went to pay and they said it was empty. I figured it was a mistake because I had checked it. We left and I went online to check out again and yep it was empty. So I emailed and called abc gift cards (now cardcash.com). They didn't even try to help. I even tried to figure out who used it with the help of men's warehouse but they wanted to protect the identity of their customers. I would never use that site again and warn anyone else to never use it either. ABSOLUTELY TERRIBLE!

Stay away! I tried 3 times to purchase gift cards from ABC Gift Cards and each time my order was cancelled immediately after my order was confirmed. I opened ticket #******* to find out why my order was flagged by their fraud systems as high risk. I've used the same credit card to purchase 2 other gift cards from CardCookie and Cardpool with no problem. Obviously there isn't a fraud issue going on, but they refuse to investigate it.

I have ordered 100's of gift cards online. I placed an order with this company for a measly $50.00 Cracker Barrel card. It got flagged as potential "fraud". Seriously? How many thieves are going to Cracker Barrel these days with a gift card from this place? My credit score is over 800, and fraudulent does not match my character one bit.

I e-mailed twice about the "why" of all of it, and received no valid response. In reading some other reviews? I suppose it worked out for the best... for me.

I bought 4 Pier 1 gift cards (total amount paid $641.56). Per the "tracking number" they provided it said that it was delivered 12/9/15. But when I came back from vacation there was nothing in my mailbox. I emailed them requesting that they honor their "45 day guarantee," and when I finally heard back from them (2 weeks later), they said that there's nothing they can do. These people are a bunch of thieves! Pleaseeeee do NOT trust them. Dishonest and worst customer service ever.

Last month, I bought a $500 gift card and upon trying to use it, it had already been redeemed. The next $500 gift card for the same merchant was already used. Don't you think ABC would check the balance of the remaining cards? No, I received one more $500 gift card for the same merchant that had already been used. Very poor service. They are intentionally trying to steal your money.

Please! Dont waste Your money: Although s complete fraud it will take a lot of Your time and likely more thsn You have invested in legal fees!
They are already rock bottom in BBB ratings- Check Your State Atyorney General to see if You have an actative statute that prohibits the devaluation of a gift card: Minnesota does but too busy with cops shooting people at the moment!

Tip for consumers:
A complete rip off !

Tahoe Joe's restaurant rejected an e-gift card we purchased from ABC Gift Cards. We ordered a plastic card but we're sent an e-gift card instead, basically a photocopy of a TJ gift card and some instructions. The manager said that these cards are fraudulent
And wanted to know where we got this fake, non-plastic card. By the way, the ABC name is an acronym for Always Being Corrupt

Please use great caution when purchasing discount gift cards from them. While they seem to have the "best" deals; there is a reason for that. Many, too many of their cards are stolen and will not work. I'd rather pay the extra 1% and use a reputable company.

I emailed and called ABC customer service at *******488 about a gift card that I was about to place but no answer. I'm so grateful for this review website, otherwise, I would be another victim of their scam.

They sell gift card that's only good for a few days, won't refund either. Stay away from them! If you buy a card with false balance that's not the worst, it's when the card was good for a while but then the balance disappears. And there's nothing you can do but to contact credit card company and report their con $#*!.

I tried to sell a Dominos Pizza gift card to ABCgiftcards. I was rejected because I am high risk. I have an 800 plus credit score! They also took my American Express credit card info. Who is at risk now - ME! I'm going to have to monitor my credit card for fraudulent charges now. Who knows who they might have working there.

Bought a Patagonia GC with a supposed $200 balance. Spoke to Patagonia customer service and could tell right away that it was FRADULENT. ABC GC customer service is shady. They only deal with refunds over email?! And they expect you to sit on your $#*! waiting for them to email you. I asked to be transferred instead and the guy told me that he couldn't. WTF. And shame on Gift Card Granny for offering this site. TERRIBLE.

I would not do business with these people. They sold me 2 invalid cards yesterday and couldn't process my claim when I called customer service - so to keep from losing my item I was trying to buy (on sale for the day only) - I decided to buy additional cards in order to make my purchase. I had to purchase 5 cards in order to make it happen - so obviously their quality control is very messed up and you will lose any money that you've paid for a card that's invalid unless you discover within their paltry 45 day guarantee. Go to Cardpool or Raise and you will get better quality and a longer guarantee.

I purchased a $42.91 Dunkin' Donuts gift card for $29.74. I went to load the gift card into my DD app, and got a message saying, "Card already registered." I emailed the company, and they responded saying their policy is that DD gift cards cannot be loaded into the app. Huh? Why not? Also, this immediately raised my suspicions, because if it's already registered, that means someone else has access to the card. Well, since there wasn't much I could do though, I went about using the actual gift card (well, email gift card). I successfully used it three times. On the 4th try, the cashier told me the card was deactivated. Well, well, well. So, someone else DID in fact have access to the gift card I was using. The only reason I'm not giving them only one star is because they did refund me the money (well, minus the amount I used). But I will certainly never trust, or use, this company again.

Bought a gift card from ABC Gift Cards/Card Cash. When I tried to use it there was no money on it. They would not honor my claim because it was beyond their 45 day guarantee. Never will I buy anything from them again and my advice would be that no one should unless you want to lose your money.

Be aware with restaurant gift cards

Be aware of purchasing restaurant gift cards from Abcgiftcards. So far 3 of my cards have been declined in resaturants. 2 of which i can't Get refund because your are force to use them in 45 days. So bot worth buying a good deal. I purchased one right before we sat to eat and guess what yes it was declined. I use 4 different site for gift cards and will continue to use the other 3. Not once did i have a problem with. Abcgiftcards are crooks

I spent over $1K on gift cards. It was a nice size order. I liked that there was a 45 day money backed guaranty. However, time after time, I would go to the restaurants and there was a zero balance. I would contact ABC and only after several emails would I get a refund. This was not an isolated incident. I am fully confident that these empty gift cards are a part of their business plan to generate profits. Recently, another gift card came out empty and I brought iit to their attention. Stacy responded that it had been 62 days since purchase and rejected my claim. To sum it up, I ended up losing money and time with these bogus cards. Stay away!

I bought these cards to give as gifts, and my friend told me that their card didn't work when they tried to use them. How embarrassing! ABC is in the process of giving me a refund, but I'll definitely be verifying that it posts to my account. I will not be using them again, and instead using another site. Very unhappy!
