CardCash

Pic for attention.

I sent them a card and was charged two $1 'authentication' fees, then spent money on Priority Shipping to New Jersey. I the meantime I was incessantly spammed by their automated servers originating from their servers only to have my card rejected as 'potentially fraudulent' without explanation despite my exhaustive documentation.

Do yourself a favor and avoid these guys. Seriously.

PS They like to bury their contact number in greyed out text and only visible if you're buying or selling, so here it it: *******214

Tried to purchase several gift cards but their system wont let me. Called support but was told that there is nothing they can do. It's either a fake business or they got some really bad software's. What a joke.

Customer service is a pathetic joke. Their default answer paraphrases as sucks to be you. After 45 days cards go to zero value and the seller can resell to another sucker. Customer service relies on the 45 day period to deny you any help. There are far better card sites out there. I was not aware you could sell a gift card with a 45 day expiration date. Most states have laws that address this issue - its only a matter of time until these scam artists get prosecuted.

Recently (in the past year), I've had more and more issues with the cards I've gotten from this site. Many don't work, some come with the incorrect value, and some lose value on their own (leading me to assume the original seller is still using it).

Customer support has been helpful within the 45-day limit, but feckless beyond that such that I've had to take it up with my Credit Card company (thank goodness for that). The most recent issue, however, I emailed them about a month ago and haven't heard back - even within the 45 day window).

I've since stopped purchasing from here. I advise others to do the same.

Had a starbucks card...they charged my paypal $1.00, but never paid the balance they owed (19.25) Wont answer email, finally did, no answer for a week...then they said " card is invalid". What? DO NOT USE THIS PLACE...

First, be aware that you only have a 45 day period for which CardCash.com will even insure your GC is valid. We dined at Capital Grill with $100.00 GC and we're told that it had no value when the restaurant ran it through their system. I contacted CashCard.com w/in 36 hours to speak to customer service who, in turn, turned it over to there claims department. Claims department, via email, assured me the GC was fine. I phoned Capital Grill to learn it still had NO value. Finally, CardCash.com said they were wrong and plan to issue a credit. (?) CC.com does all they can to avoid your calls, emails, etc. and then make weak excuses. I have a few of their GC'S and plan to use them asap, but no more.

Purchased $200 worth of certificates for a high end steakhouse chain. Confirmed balance with the chain and when we went to redeem the certificates found out the certificates had already been redeemed. Ended up paying twice for an expensive steak dinner. CardCash responded quickly with the following tough luck response "Buying from any marketplace involves the classical Risk vs. Reward decision. Consumers shopping at a marketplace can save up to 35% but will, at times, receive cards that are invalid or have a balance discrepancy. This is not something we can control."

I purchased a $50 Outback card, and had it shipped to my mother for mother's day. She never received it, and CardCash does not track purchases below $100, so I'm just out of luck. Not the best impression.

I purchased American Airline gift cards from card cash and when I went to use them they had zero balances. After many emails and phone calls still no resolution. The total I got scammed was 734.80! Don't chance it. They won't stand by their guarantee. I am having to get an attorney. Scam!

I've never used them to buy cards, so I have no idea about that end of their business, but trying to sell cards isn't very well organized. At the beginning they bought a few of my cards without any issues, but after that they kept denying my cards, even though the balances were there. I would be fine with this if I could get a straight answer on why, but all I got was the run around from Customer Service and was told to just relist. I said, what sense does that make when all your company will just reject them and my time is wasted... which is what happened. At least they didn't internally steal my card information and spend the gift cards unlike Raise.com... so I give them props for that at least.

**Original Review** See update below.
Bought a $90 Panera Bread giftcard and used it twice. Probably spent just under $20.2 months later tried using it again (today) and it had $0.01 left in it! Haven't had this issue with other gift card resellers. Very upset and definitely will never buy another gift card from this company.

**3/15/17 Update**
Cardcash reached out to me and apologized for this issue and even though I was outside their 45-day guarantee, they refunded me my order. So now I'm not out any money and I'm much happier with these guys. I upgraded my rating from a 1 to a 3 thanks to their social media team.
