CardCash

My wife and I have purchased thousands of dollar worth of gift cards from Cardcash. Usually they work perfectly. Lately, within the last 2 months, we have had at least 5 cards that came with zero balance. One was a gift for my son at college to a local restaurant. How silly do I look when he orders food, and when it's time to pay, the gift card from his Dad doesn't work. Not a good feeling for anyone. Cardcash is always prompt with refunds, but that doesn't help when we got great discounts only to see them gone because the cards ended up worthless. Cardcash doesn't seem to care when this happens. We get cookie cutter email responses and a refund. Seriously considering whether to continue with Cardcash.

I paid $600 for 16 $50 Hyatt gift cards worth $800. Five, yes, five of them had $0 balances. Unfortunately, they will not refund my money because I put my claim in at 47 days instead of 45 days. Their customer service is awful. They do not investigate the fraud and they could not care less about you. It's amazing that this company has been allowed to operate for over 11 years. There are other reputable companies out there selling discounted cards. This is not one of them. You've been warned.

I've been buying things for years. I've always had a great experience. It's easy to purchase, cards are easy to use, the paper certificates can be a little difficult sometime but that has to do with the cashier not being properly trained how to process them as payment. I've had to deal with customer service on maybe 2 occasions and my issue was resolved promptly. I really have no complaints.

Please take the negative reviews into consideration before buying on this site! You may save a few bucks, but will eventually find a dead, zero balance, or fraudulent gift card that they will refuse to refund you on (45 days goes by fast when you don't even get the card for a week) and they flat out say sorry - YOUR LOSS! I bought a variety of restaurant cards for an upcoming trip and found many to be dead after the 45 days. I got proof that one was cancelled three weeks after issuance by the client service department!

Purchased a gift card at a big discount. Somehow the card was not usable despite the balance being shown as having the full amount available. I'm just glad I didn't find this out after 45 days. Raise.com has a 1 year money-back guarantee. I think my relationship with CardCash is over.

CardCash - I buy a $25 gift card. The gift recipient goes to use it and it only has $14.41 on it. So you refund me $9.34 and think it's all good? Not a chance! Better Business Bureau will hear about this as well as every social media access I can find! Oh, I also bought a $50 Dunkin Donuts gift card in August for a Christmas present and was told, Sorry, 45 day buyer protection has expired. Don't get sucked in, friends! Gift card buyers BEWARE!

I've used card cash several times with no issues. My last three purchases were a total disaster. Two of the cards had zero balance when trying to use they both were valued at $250 each and the other one was an invalid card number valued at $200. I have thankfully received a refund for two of them so far in a reasonable timeframe however I missed on great deals from the vendor I purchase the gift cards for as the sales are now over.

Have purchased many gift cards from CardCash and a significant portion are no good as soon as the 45-day guarantee period is finished. Either whoever they are purchasing from are retaining the numbers to steal any balances later, and CardCash does not hold them responsible... or perhaps even CardCash themselves is doing this. Don't risk it unless you will be using the card right away, but why deal with a shady biz when there are so many other options... there are many providers offering a one year guarantee and their discounts are comparable or better.

A card I purchased turned out to be "stolen" and did not work when I went to use it. It was outside of the 90 day window that CardCash offered, so I was S. O. L. A $200 Red Lobster gift card.
CardCash did try to "make up for it" by offering a $20 website credit. Sweet! (sarcasm)
I've tried using the credit twice now, and the order(s) have been cancelled after being placed, because the gift cards are no longer available. I've had to email customer service in both cases, to get a new code for website credit, because the original is not automatically credited back when the order gets cancelled. What a hassle.

Got a $300 QT gift card. It was reported stolen and I couldnt use the fund, but when I contacted Cardcash, they just said 45 day is over so there is nothing they can do.
Why sell $300 gift card if the card can basically expires randomly after 45 days? They are basically helping scammers rip their customers off.
Either offer better protection like 100 day protection from other site or dont sell gift cards that cant reasonably be used in a month. They told me I should have known the risk. Yes, it is definitely my fault for having bought from their site. A
