Scam
August 15, 2021

Someone sent me $150 gift card. I've tried to load it several times on different browsers and it doesn't work. They will not return emails. Not bad customer service. ZERO customer service.

Amazing website!

Giftrocket enabled me to buy a gift card in a quick and efficient manner. Very easy to process and quickly delivered. My son enjoyed the gift card to his favorite coffee shop.

So I did have trouble redeeming my card HOWEVER I sent an email and an amazing person Jake Douglas not only credited the account back the full amount but also sent a visa gift card for the inconvenience! Thank you so much for making this so easy!

Terrible, just terrible.
October 22, 2015

Its denied my bank account twice and is "currently not accepting debit cards." Waste of time, waste of money. Do not use Giftrocket, just buy them a gift card or wire them money. Absolute bull****.

Happy Birthday breakfast.
February 23, 2015

I used this service for the first time to buy breakfast for someone's birthday. It was as easy as being there and picking up the check. I'll use it again.

I ordered a $50 Market Basket card for a friend in need I kept the "receipt" and sent her a copy as well. She tried to redeem it wouldn't work so called. She was left on hold and ended up calling three times. I then called many times always hearing a LOT of noise and Indian accents in the back. Indian accents every single call I made which was six. Got the run around and as of now working on getting the BBB involved. DO NOT DEAL WITH THIS "COMPANY"!

0 stars, based on one of the worst and strangest customer service debacles I've encountered:

So I wanted to surprise my wife w/ these Louboutin Red Bottoms she's wanted for our anniversary. But since Louboutin doesn't do gift cards, I instead bit the bullet and overpaid Gift Rocket in the spirit of a genuine surprise -- a 1k gift to my wife that cost 1053 (53 bucks for them to do almost nothing). Still, I wanted the surprise element so whatever...

Anyhow, in a total misguided shock, Giftrocket cancels my order, claiming that I'm a security risk and saying they would provide no further details. First, I'm not a "security risk" in any way (credit score is over 800). But here's the worst part: Not only did they email me w/ this misguided cancellation notice, but THEY EMAILED MY WIFE -- thereby ruining my big surprise for absolutely zero reason except to... be cruel? Why email my wife about their silly mistake? Again, they refused to provide any details aside from insulting me by saying I was deemed a "security risk" when in fact I am just a nice guy trying to surprise my wife.

Just a laughably bad decision to cancel my order, but a way worse and baffling decision to email my wife just to try to hurt us? Fortunately, we laughed about it. And hey, I saved 200 bucks -- just purchased the Louboutin's for a total of 857! So a happy ending!

But Gift Rocket is a joke, a rip off, and bizarrely cruel -- an abomination of a company. Hilarious!

Rip Off!
August 27, 2017

I requested a gift card to Walgreens & the site said the recipient could use it there or any other national retailer. Could not use at Walgreens. Very misleading.

Sorry for the confusion Pam! As a note, people like our gifts in part because there's no certificate to carry or risk losing and never any leftover or unused funds (regular gift cards are lost/wasted at about 30%!), all with the personal touch of a gift card/greeting card. We'd be happy to address any issues or cancel/refund a purchase in full for you. Just send us an email at support@giftrocket.com. Thanks!

Good Service
April 19, 2018

GiftRocket is a great idea. I will have to remember it in the future. Easy to give the "gift card" for basically anything the receiver may want to do.

Unable to use and tired of trying. It doesn't give joy to the receiver... just frustration. Use reputable direct source companies, like Visa and such.

Great experience

I used this site to send a graduation present to my nephew. He seemed to love it because he could choose what kind of gift he wanted, and the site was very easy to navigate.
