From the beginning the attitude from CDKeys support staff was pretty much: "We have your money, the code looks fine our end, we don't give a monkeys if you're still having problems or what they might be, go away and don't bother us." And you are literally blocked – CDKeys Support ceased to reply to me, even after having been nothing but courteous and very patient with them from the beginning. I have the emails to prove it.
This situation to me is a bit like buying a car and a few days later having concerns about the tires or finding that the engine won't start, and the only response you get is "Unfortunately, according to us, the car was fine the day we sold it to you, so deal with it and go away."
From looking at other reviews online, if you're lucky and you don't have a problem with the code you get, it looks like you can get some good deals from them. However, if like me you do have a problem, expect support like I've outlined: tough luck if you've paid for something that doesn't work, you're on your own. Because as we've experienced, CDKeys does not care what the customer experience actually is. All CDKeys cares about it seems, is that they have your money.
I'm sorry, but to me the heart of this way of doing business is rotten to the core. Handing over cash to CDKeys is clearly a lottery, one that we refuse to partake in, and they will not be getting our business again.
To try and end on a helpful note, here's what I think good customer service looks like, and I hold CDKeys responsible because I am one of their customers: we have paid them to be able to use a game, and we can't download it, and they've kept our money:
1. Responsibility should not begin and end with the alleged (we only have their word for it) suitability of a cypher that's been sold. We have paid to be able to use a game, a gift for me, and I can't download it. The technology you've chosen to facilitate that objective along with its validity is neither here nor there, because it doesn't solve the problem; I still cannot download the game we paid you for.
2. Being helpful instead of dismissive. You've taken our money, you claim everything is fine your end, and therefore that's the end of the story? You stop replying to me? Really? Well everything is not fine: I cannot use the code you sold me for the stated purpose.
3. Go the extra mile. If technical issues might be a cause, I'd expect helpful advice on how to solve them. Not silence. If it looks like a third party might be responsible (like a game site hosting a download and where a key must be redeemed), I'd expect at least some rudimentary knowledge of that third party's systems, again coupled with expert advice on what to try to solve the problem, or to be directed to the relevant persons, after all you are partnering with them to achieve your sales. I don't expect silence.
4. Not being left with the feeling that we've been robbed. And of a Christmas present no less. I have no problem with CDKeys concluding internally that the problem may lie elsewhere, but I do mind when those actions leave us feeling this way, and that we are well and truly on our own with seemingly no recourse. Is piracy too strong a word? Maybe it is, maybe it isn't.
5. I don't think it should be too much to ask any Support department for help in identifying the cause of a problem, but with CDKeys, it seems to be. I have no idea why the code they sold us doesn't work, and they've not helped me at all in trying to find the cause. And as a paying customer, I really feel it should be their responsibility and not ours to get to the bottom of the matter and provide a solution, not slam the door shut and leave us hanging out to dry.
Thank you for reading.

I purchased FIFA points, 拢71.99 worth. They have not went onto my account, all proof of that has been sent through to them. They do not care a jot.
They also have a "promotion" for Cdkoins that build up like clubcard points. Biggest difference between the two though is you can actually spend your clubcard points.
In summary, they dont give you the productions you buy and when you complain they tell you there is nothing they can do and their promotions are fake.
Stay away at any cost!

Long story short I must be a sucker because I purchased a cheaper game card and now it's saying Under Review and no customer service is available so that's 100$ gone fml

The game did not work due to it being region locked which was confirmed by the company when I complained. I was refunded but, the advertising for that game, and likely others, is incorrect.
After repeated attempts by me to make contact with the company about this false advertising, My complaint and concerns have been ignored and, even now, The game is still be falsely advertised as having a "worldwide" region key.
Dishonest and untrstworthy.
Additional Info — CDKeys Support staff closed my open ticket addresssing the false advertising claim about the specific game I purchased (order No. 11367875897), Snowrunner on PC on the 22nd July, 2020. The ticket was closed with NO contact from the company, NO warning it would be closed or any contact in the slightest.
PS — I have chat scripts, screen shots and emails to back up everything I am saying about this company/issue.

Did get in touch with customer service who acknowledged the issue but did not provide any assistance. They mentioned that it would take 10 days to decide whether the case was eligible for a refund. I have not heard from them since. Ticker number that was logged with CDKeys '2974965'

I bought two codes as there was a deal going on, thinking I will use it later. But later when I tried to use it, it did not work
I asked the support desk and they told me to contact Microsoft, and MS confirmed that my code is being used by some other account other than me.
They asked CDkeys to contact if they need more information. I went back to the support and they said even though we asked you to contact Microsoft but we also have 7 days non refund policy.
It felt more like I was screwed and was asked to resolve it my self and then CDkeys had the trump card of 7 days policy.
Never buying again!

While this is a ridiculously insignificant amount, when I questioned the charge I was advised that my bank must have charged me a fee as it wasn't them. I knew this was not true but I checked with my bank just to be certain. The bank confirmed my belief that they didn't charge me anything and when I followed up with CDKeys.com to let them know my bank doesn't charge random, unexplained fees, they promptly stopped replying to me.
While this isn't a huge deal financially, it's still upsetting that they can get away with this and makes me wonder if they're charging a bunch of people extra fees? I mean, it eventually adds up for them.
