We recently purchased 6, $50 gift certificates to a local restaurant for family members. When they went to redeem their gifts, they were asked to provide their bank account information - which, of course, they did not feel comfortable doing. In addition, we paid $4.50 EXTRA for each certificate. Bottom line, it was embarrassing for us and didn't work out for them.
Apologies for the poor experience with GiftRocket. All GiftRocket gifts are redeemed online, not at the suggested business. The recipient can choose from one of our available gift cards or transfer the funds to their bank account. Suggesting a business helps personalize the gift, but the recipient ultimately spends it as they wish.
If your family members would like help selecting a gift card instead of a bank transfer, please reach out to support@giftrocket.com and we'd be happy to provide detailed instructions.
I attempted to sell a few items on Poshmark. When I had issues, even after emailing the "Customer Service" address listed, no one ever responded. Basically the experience was a huge waste of my time. They obviously have no interest in creating a user friendly environment. There are a lot of creepy people trying to low-ball you at every turn. By the time you pay their fees, you would probably do better at a rummage sale.
