giftly reviews complaints
I went to redeem a voucher I received and 24 hours later, have not received the transfer of funds. It also states that once it’s transferred, it will take 2-4 business days to actually get it into your account. They’ve asked for additional information which I think is inappropriate. Please don’t use this company, either get a voucher directly for what you want or just give the person the money. I hope I actually get the voucher money but I’m not sure I will at this stage.

If you request a specific amount to be charged to your card, the additional 20% will still be added. The new service works over the web and email but is optimized for mobile devices and social networks like Facebook. In early user testing, the Giftly team adopted a limit of three places for any one gift (although this constraint can be over-ridden at the user’s request). This is a very clever way to get around what would otherwise be, for any gifting startup, a limited inventory of merchants to allow gifts at. It means any vendor can be a target of a gift, which is cool.

Giftly is a mobile app enabling its users to send their friends digital gift cards from any establishment. I anticipated a straightforward gift card purchase but received an email redirecting me to PayPal. As a wheelchair user, I value simplicity, and this system added unnecessary complications. I regret spending $6 on a cumbersome experience when I could have easily transferred the money myself. My attempt to get a gift card for my friend's daughter's birthday turned into a needlessly complicated ordeal. Firstly, the delivery of digital gift cards via Giftly is secured through end-to-end encryption.

When you’re ready to check out keep your Visa card handy and then, in the online form, fill in your 16-digit card number, expiration date and CVV number. You’ll want to make sure that your gift card’s balance is enough to cover the amount of your purchase. When gifting a card, remember to give the recipient all the materials you received with the card at the time of purchase. These materials should include the issuer's terms and conditions for use.

Giftly has a rating of 1.0 star from 13 reviews, indicating that most customers are generally dissatisfied with their purchases. In using your Gifty Credit, you will have access to navigate the Gifty platform within which you can browse Participating Retailer options and make Gift Code selections within your Gifty Credit allowance. Having converted your Gifty Credit into a Digital Gift Code you will then be able to use this code as either full or part payment for products or services rendered with that Participating Retailer.

Some customers praise the service for its ease of use, flexibility, and the joy it brings to recipients. On the other hand, there are concerns about service fees and the nature of the gift cards, which are akin to a cash transfer rather than tied to specific businesses. Despite these mixed sentiments, Giftly's commitment to providing a diverse and secure gifting experience remains evident​​​​​​. I purchased a $50 gift for an elderly couple who have been kind to me. It was convenient to purchase the gift card online for a local pizza restaurant.

This variety ensures recipients can choose where and how to use their gifts, adding a personal touch to every card sent. I was pleased to find Giftly to send a gift card after failed attempts elsewhere. I didn’t know Giftly existed and the BBB standing was a huge part of my decision to use them. Nothing was obscure or hidden from me as I checked out. After finding out my recipient wouldn’t open the Giftly link because of their VPN, I had to cancel the card.
