In November 2018, I purchaseda $864 Lowe's gift card for $734. I recieved the gift card by email. When I went to use it, Lowe's.com said it had a zero balance. I have purchased gift cards from EJgiftcards on 4 other occasions, with no problem. I submitted a claim for the gift card. After 2 weeks I finially called and was told that they were expecting a call from Lowe's. Well later on that day I received an email stating that the gift card had been used 12 months ago, and that I would receive a full refund in 14-21 business days. After the time was up, I started calling *******862, the number on the claim form that I had called before. There is a recording that says they are on the phone, and thats it. I tried emailing, with no reply. I finially contacted my credit card company and they resolved this for me. Please save your money on this company. Nothing but heartache and grief from lousy busines ethics...
Bought an itunes gift card and I got an error message saying the code has been redeemed. Do not waste your time with this company. Will contact my credit card company in regards to this matter.
Was skeptical about using Zelle but I bought a card for Dominos to try the site out. I got the card about 5 minutes later and had dinner about 30 minutes later. I sold a card to them about a year ago and was paid quickly through PayPal as well.
I made a purchase on the site through the USDC cryptocurrency, but ejgiftcard canceled the purchase claiming that it did not receive the transaction. In my brokerage it says sent and the amount was debited from my account. That is, I was without my money and without the gift card, be careful when buying on this personal site, because you can be at a loss.
I sincerely believe that there should be other more secure payment methods, such as PayPal, for customer safety and convenience.

Thank you for the review and Feedback.
We are working on getting more payment options soon.
Easy to search site//not a lot of gift cards in stock but the one i wanted was available and more than one//easy checkout//once money sent, gift card links arrived shortly
Thank you for such a great review!
Ej GiftCards is still great after over 2 years using their services. I have never had any issues with a gift card purchase. I will continue to use them for future purchases. Awesome discounts!
My experience was great, I contacted customer service and they provided me with answers immediately through the chat. I also received a very good deal on gift cards. Highly recommended!
We are happy to know you had a great experience with EJ Gift Cards.
Thank you for such a great review!
I just found about this place that buys gift cards. Customer service is great and they pay the highest rates so far. I will definitely be returning to sell them my cards.
Bought two gift cards that turned out had zero balance on them. Spent countless attempts trying to contact EJ's customer service but no response. DO NOT BUY FROM THEM UNLESS YOU'RE WILLING TO GET DEFRAUDED OUT OF YOUR MONEY.
Complete BS bought two home goods gift cards from them both of them being empty and they told me it would take 14 to 21 business days to get my refund filing dispute with my bank as we speak!
Buyer BEWARE... BIG SCAM I bought Gift Cards from EJ Giftcards and the numbers and pins were invalid...
Sent many emails, no reply. Now disputing charges with credit card company.
Called company directly at *******862 left many messages, never called me back... RUN AWAY FROM THIS ONE.
Same jerk around as a number of other people got for refund. Still waiting wish I would have found this site before I bought. Giftcard granny told them to refund for fraud card. Did not help
I've used them to sell my gift cards severally over the past few months. They always pay the exact amount offered. I'll keep doing business with them.
I have had a much different experience from what I'm seeing on these other reviews. I sold EJ Gift Cards a $75 Lowe's gift card. The whole process was okay and quite fast.
They are a scam operation. I don't understand how they have not been shutdown. I bought a Southwest gift card. The card was initially accepted, but then a couple of days later rejected by Southwest as fraudulent. I have emailed, submitted forms, left voice mails and two months later EJ have not refunded me or replaced the card (despite sending an initial response that a refund would be issued). I have of course engaged my credit card company BUT DO NOT USE THIS SERVICE, THEY ARE SIMPLY THIEVES.
If you are looking for immediate or fast payout (as in one to two days), look elsewhere to sell. Now.
I sold a Target gift card. I didn't hear anything back for two weeks so I had to write them an email to inquire about the status. They wrote back a few days later, and I was finally paid out. The thing that irritated me the most is that when they used Paypal for the payout, the way they did it took out a Paypal fee from the payout! They are the first site I've sold gift cards to that Paypal took out a fee. The only reason I am not more angry with my whole transaction with them is that I sold such a small $ amount (thank goodness, or I'd be so livid). Lesson learned. Based on my personal experience, I will never use them again.
I will not say that they are a scam (for selling) because I did get paid out -- eventually. But I think it's probably a one man or very small team behind the site, maybe even a side business for someone who works full-time elsewhere and cannot dedicate their time 100% behind this. There are better sites out there to sell unwanted gift cards, people. My favorite so far for both buying and selling is Cardcash.com.
I recently bought a gift card for Ulta and within an hour of my purchase went to the store to use it. When I checked out at Ulta there was a zero balance on the card. Reached out to EJ because of their ONE DAY GUARANTEE on cards and they looked into and stated "Report: Investigation Closed. We have found that the Gift Card was used by the seller. A full refund will be provided within 7-8 days." That time has come and gone and no refund. You would think that since I just gave you my money for this gift card immediately THAT HAD A ZERO BALANCE ON IT they would refund you immediately with some type of apology or compensation which further proves that they don't care about their customers and are just scammers.
The reason that they only give a 1 day guarantee and send you gift cards with $0 balance on them is because this company is fraudulent and scams their customers. They hope that customers don't use the cards immediately so that they can claim that it is past their lame 1 day guarantee and just keep the money. Most other reputable gift card companies will offer at least a 45 day guarantee on their cards. DO NOT BUY FROM THIS COMPANY UNLESS YOU LIKE GETTING SCAMMED OUT OF YOUR MONEY. You have been warned…
I'm well within my 100 days. Made seven calls - takes them an hour to answer the phone each time. They will not give my money back. Do NOT BUY FROM THEM! Going to BBB and my credit card company to get my money back.
I purchased on-line gift card, but they send me a link, you can't access into, I request refund immediately, they acclaim need 14 to 21 business days to process, it's all LIE. They don't have phone call, ONLY Email to contact them. NOBODY respond.
IT'S a FRAUD website.
I've done these discounted gift cards many times before. They make some people uneasy, but I've never had a bad experience and they work as they should. I'll be back again.
Thank you for the review! We appreciate your time.
Answer: It took me about 10 days before I was paid, they told me it was 7 days but it later took 10 days but the most important part was that I got paid
Answer: Look at the responses this company is submitting. I'm definitely reporting this company to the better business bureau!
Answer: If you or anyone else does, please contact me as I would like to press charges and prosecute to the fullest extent of the law also. You can find me on Facebook, Kristin Chester, of Fort Wayne, Indiana. Thank you.
Answer: Agree completely. Scam artist should be put in jail to rot.
