As an engagement gift for a friend, I purchased a gift card for a specific local bar/restaurant using Giftly as it was the only option to do so online. When I received the confirmation email it showed that the gift card was "for $25 at *restaurant name*" but my friend received an email to redeem the funds via Paypal? She was confused when I asked her if she got celebratory drinks at the specific restaurant as she thought I just sent her money. No idea why I paid a $4 service fee when I could've just transferred money to my friend for free if that is what I wanted to do. Not only did Giftly ruin the gift but I am now out $4 in fees.
