I use this service for my grand daughter 3rd birthday party, this is the best thing to happen to me!
Everyone should try it! It is a really good website! Right now I am making a virtual card for someome!
Used the site for having a birthday party for my daughter offsite... site handled everything including online invites. Would recommend!
I used the free trial version of Punchbowl to see if it would meet my birthday calendar/birthday card needs.
Likes:
- The birthday calendar works fantastically.
- They let you buy online gift certificates to give with the birthday card.
Hates:
- Their customer service are terrible. TERRIBLE.
The company has a policy for free accounts where you're limited to 10 cards a month. Great deal! I was excited to try their product and then buy a subscription.
Well, despite the company policy, I have only been able to send 8 cards in May and 6 cards in June.
When reaching out to Punchbowl customer service they not only *do not* assist in their company's card policy miscount, they bold face lie to you about their miscount. Both times I wrote them about the lower card limits and both times Punchbowl customer service told me I had actually created and sent cards that do not exist. And let me point out it's not easy to get confused by the company's easy to use interface. It shows you cards sent and when. Very simple to keep track of what you're doing. But Punchbowl customer service will make up cards that are not on your list. "Oh you sent "x" on "yz" date. That's why you can't use our service for the rest of the month."
Punchbowl customer service didn't help me in my inquiry, they actually took it a step further and lied about why they can't help - on two occasions, and then they offered me a discount code to get a subscription... lulz - gtfo here! There is no way I want to pay for subscription with total horse crap customer service. No thank you. I'm going to find and pay for a better subscription elsewhere.
Update:
I didn't misunderstand anything. Nice try. Too bad. I am now paying monthly for Hallmark. Your loss.
It seems this customer misunderstood our digital card send limits, so we want to clarify what we count as a send. With a free account, you can send digital cards to up to 10 recipients per calendar month. The limits on digital cards refer to the number of email addresses and/or phone numbers you send cards to, not the number of different card designs you can send. For example, with a free membership, you can send two different cards to 5 people each or you could send one card to 10 people. This is all explained clearly here: https://help.punchbowl.com/article/306-is-there-a-limit-to-how-many-people-i-can-send-a-digital-card-to
First time using it... wasn't all that I expected. If I were to do it all over again, I'd probably use something else.
Great and easy to use. I was ablr to manage the number of of guess which allowed me to better plan my menu and activities.
Make your invitations easy to make and to keep track of your guestlist! So happy I used Punchbowl! Punchbowl from now on for sure! 1
