10 Reviews by Rishi

  • Lucky Vitamin

7/15/20

Experience thus far suggests something less than a perfect job managing customer demand (merchant has previously cancelled items after confirmation of sale & fulfilled "Back Ordered" items with product marked with short-dated expiration, e.g. with two months rather than twelve months remaining); nevertheless, the merchant does offer compelling prices & some nice features (e.g. Autoship).

A great site & accompanying app(lication): a registry of retailers for which gift cards of a given user could be associated (via entry of card number & card total) - in effect allowing a "backup" of a given set of cards to be created. Truly wonderful - until notice of cancellation was provided.

Tip for consumers:
Start early - as the site is only more usable, now that it's been cancelled, by means of having enjoyed it that much earlier on...

  • Card Cookie

7/4/18

Card was provided at a significant (but realizable) discount & shipped instantly (after a payment verification step conducted through electronic mail).

Tip for consumers:
Account verification/validation can be universal - regardless of payment tendered; plan accordingly!

  • GiftCards.com

7/4/18

Cards were provided at a significant (but realizable) discount & shipped quickly enough; site has since partnered with SaveYa & moved its inventory of discounted cards to its partner.

Tip for consumers:
Previously, electronic cards would not deliver right away - or even within the hour (as one order took as many as three hours before being delivered); as such, plan accordingly!

Cards were provided at a significant (but realizable) discount & shipped quickly; cards provided were unqiuely of higher value ($200+)...

Tip for consumers:
No returns coverage is provided for purchases after one year; as such, customers purchasing large-value high-discount cards may be "out-of-luck".

  • GiftCardSpread

7/4/18

Cards were provided at a significant (but realizable) discount & shipped (after - what at the time was an undocumented - identitiy verification step).

Tip for consumers:
Account verification/validation can be a bit onerous (and impact the speed of order delivery); plan accordingly!

  • GiftCardBin

7/4/18

Cards were provided at a significant discount & shipped quickly; checking one's account history requires use of a second password... but, aside from the inconvenience of the same, the experience on offer is quite high: prompt, cost-effective delivery of physical & e-cards - and no zeroed cards (in a small sample of 10 total).

Tip for consumers:
The pictures for physical cards may not precisely match with the delivered cards... but (by the same token) no explicit intimation of the same is provided.

  • CardPool

7/4/18

Cards were provided at a small discount & shipped quickly enough; site requires entry of a second (mailed) code for authentication.

Tip for consumers:
Electronic cards may not deliver right away - or even within the hour (as one order took as many as four hours before being delivered); as such, plan accordingly!

  • Giftcard Zen

7/4/18

Cards were provided at a significant (but realizable) discount & shipped quickly; a small number of high-value ($200+) cards proved problematic & were refunded.

Tip for consumers:
Check at least a small portion of a given card's balance with a successful retail transaction - and don't forget to check the balance again within the warranty period (as some cards can be zeroed by an issuer months after sale).

  • Raise

2/23/16

Card was provided at a significant (but realizable) discount & shipped quickly; after successful registration at the provider's site and successful use of a small amount of funds the card was discovered to have a $0 balance - which Raise acknowledged (and remedied) by refunding the cost of the original transaction.

Tip for consumers:
Before getting frustrated/disappointed/angry/etc. check with Raise (as purchases are warrantied/guaranteed)...
