I sent my first Giftrocket gift last week, and it received such a positive response that I sent a few more 'just thinking of you' gifts over the next few days, and I'll be back again for the holidays. It's a super quick and easy gifting option, and I highly recommend.

Sucks
December 29, 2017

My son gave us what he thought would be a $50.00 gift. We needed to give up our bank info or choose another gift card. The gift cards werent great choices for us. I would NEVER sent someone a gift through GiftRocket. It truly sucks!

Sorry for the confusion Lanette! Please drop us an email at support@giftrocket.com and we can help out with some more options or cancel/fully refund the sender.

As a note, we like our cash gifts better 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 also use the most up-to-date, bank-grade encryption technology when dealing with personal information, as well.

Simple and effective.
March 14, 2015

It does what it's supposed to. It sends money to whomever, whenever, without much more hassle than sending an email. The modern day equivalent to sending birthday cards through the mail; perfectly if I may add.

My brother treated us to a dinner via GiftRocket, and I had never heard of or used the site. The flexibility of it all, and just the ease with which I could get my gift was great. A member of the GR team even emailed me afterwards, in a personal manner, to ask about me experience. Use it!

Great way to send a gift!
December 13, 2020

I think GiftRocket is the best idea ever! It allows you to give a gift but the recipient gets to choose how they spend it. So convenient and I love that you can email the gift to the recipient. Will definitely be using GiftRocket again.

Quick and thoughtful
March 28, 2017

Giftrocket is pretty simple... use it to send money to people with a nice suggestion and a pretty card. I use it all the time for family/friends who live across the country, and when I've made a mistake, their support has been responsive, as well.

I had a very nice experience with GiftRocket. My sister lives in Montana and I struggled to find a nice online giftcard that wasn't for a huge chain - this was a great alternate option. My $3 credit didn't work at first, but their customer service was very quick to remedy the issue.

Highly suggest.

Terrible idea. Bought the card for a gift. All they do is send cash to the recipient when they redeem it. You may as well just PayPal someone the cash and bypass paying a $7 tra action fee. This is a SCAM!

No problems
September 27, 2017

I had absolutly no problems so far with redeeming my gift certificate which is saying a lot. There is usually problems with just about everything now days. And customer service is lousy. It's nice to see a company that cares!
Thank you for that!

GiftRocket gift card
January 17, 2021

We received a GiftRocket gift card for Christmas. It was easy to use and the choices provided were wonderful. Would recommend this as a way to send gift cards for anyone who wishes to let the recipient make a choice. Great option.

I screwed up and ordered a $200 gift certificate for an elderly friend that was the wrong type of gc -- Gift Rocket not only worked with me to figure out why it was wrong -- and then, in the end, refunded my entire payment. Thanks to Jake, my friend will now get what she need -- and I will use Giftrocket again in the future.

It is a great website. I had a really good experience. Received a few gifts so far. Was very easy to transfer the money on my bank account. And also very prompt. Receiver also have the option to send the money to paypal account or use them in any store... So its a great business that offers options for anyone's needs and accessability. Very Satisfied and will let all my friends know we should use this website from now on.

I absolutely loved getting a giftrocket for me to use at my hotel for my bachelorette from a friend who could not make it! It was such an easy thoughtful gift! It was easy to use and understand so much better than any other "gift card" out there!

Get it!

Waited for more than five days to receive an email to redeem my gift card, be careful, do not use this website as they keep the money for their own advantage to use it for days before giving it to you. The service is the worst; all you can do is send an email to the support and keep your finger crossed to contact you back. I will never use it, and I asked the institute to not use it at all, and they agreed.

Not what it appears
June 15, 2018

Make sure you read befor purchasing. I sent myself a card just to see what my son would be receiving. You do have option to get gift card from a few select places otherwise you have to enter your bank account number to get cash transfer. Go on Amazon they offer better selection.
