Gift Card Spread

I went to Gift Card Spread to offer them two gift cards. I got an email acknowledging my offer which said "We're looking into it and assure you an answer within 24 hours. It's a GCS promise!" 24 hours later and no response. 24 days later and still no response. Finally, 40 DAYS LATER, I get a response. By that time, the gift cards were long since sold to a competitor who actually closed the deal within 48 hours. If you have to wait 40 DAYS for a response, why bother at all?

I bought a couple of Kohl's gift cards, but after I put all my information including credit card, address, and personal information, they canceled my order without any explanation and NEVER refunded my payment. They now have all my information what is my biggest concern. I already disputed the transaction with my credit card company and reported them to the IC3 and also requested a replacement credit card. BEWARE! STAY AWAY FROM THOSE FRAUDSTERS!
In case you need gift cards, go to legit websites like: Raise, Cardcash and Cardcookie.

There I was buying a cheap gift card, thinking I saved 10% but in reality lost 100% instead.
Everything went smooth, I got my email confirmation, got the gift card, and then I try to use it – denied!
Their phone number doesn't pick up. Their email doesn't even give me an automatic reply to let me know there's a case number or any sort of receipt or acknowledgement of my claim. You'd think this site is legit because it's featured in many places, has promo codes, and their return policy sounds perfect. But no, it's a total crapshoot. Sounds like it works for some not for others – I'd expect good customer service at the very least.
Otherwise shut it down! Unbelievable.

Went through their process and they ripped me off completely. They got my five gift cards for over 200 bucks and I got nothing! They refused to pay me or send my cards back. They kept the cards and my money. Total scam. I filed BBB complaint.

This website allows you to "sell" your giftcards that you don't want for PayPal money or bank transfer, you enter your gift card information, they "accept" it if the details are valid and use all the money on the card, they then leave it on "Shipment not received" It has been a whole MONTH with no replies or ANYTHING, this company has 1.9 rating on trust pilot and is AWFUL.

I uploaded and sold them a buffalo wild wings $25 gift card. Sent proof of ID. I sent countless emails about payment and received an email that they were sending payment. That was two months ago. I never received anything.

I posted 2 cards I wanted to sell and they have never responded but took the money off my card have filed police report and talked to merchant and have proof of account dates screen shots etc

I purchased a google play gift card yesterday. I tried to use the gift card code sent to me. Google play would not accept it and had error message. I immediately contacted support at GCS. As yet have had no response. I want a refund. Bad customer service.

THEY SOLD ME A CARD WITH A ZERO BALANCE THAN REFUSED TO REIMBURSE ME. THEY ARE LIARS AND THIEVES. I EVEN DID ALL THE RESEARCH ON THE GIFTCARD WITH THE ACTUAL RETAILER. THE CARD HAD ZERO BALANCE BEFORE IT WAS SOLD TO ME!!!!! DO U BELIEVE THIS???

I sent them two gift cards one doutheest 250 and Amazon 25.they took money off cards asap but could not pay me until they got cards…. Mailed them they never got. Okay do they have full use of cards I have nothing. Emailed over and over. Had me send picturrs on line my credit card license. Tgtake pictures still nothing . Asked them to call me new info wallet stolen never called back been 3 months. No payment and my cards have zero balance they of course took day I sent in. Payment nothing so upset so wrong
They don't care enough to make right. I will tell all my school teachers who get gift cards alot

I wish I could give them zero stars. They accepted my gift cards back in july 2019. They used the gift cards. I have tried to contact them over 20 times since to no avail. No response. No payment. Horrible company!

I purchased 600$ apple store gift card and they never delivered it to me
No replies on email or call keeps me waiting.
I was able to talk through phone only once and they said is we are not able to verify with your bank, I said then cancel my order and give me refund. They said they will look into the matter and get back to me. Lost my 600$

they sold me empty amazon gift card for $500 , and I can't get back my money. Not buy on the place ,SAVE YOUR MONEY !!!!!

Keeps cancelling my orders. They say it's a "security issue" but can't tell me why or how to fix it. Other sites let me buy from them no problem.

Read the FAQs and notices on the website!!!! The majority of the negative reviews wouldn't be here if people paid attention.

#1 Most gift cards DO NOT have an expiration date, HOWEVER, the site only guarantees them for a certain length of time because they CANNOT guarantee that the seller (to Gift Card Spread) hasn't copied down the information to fraudulently use the cards.
#2 Use them before the end date guaranteed by Gift Card Spread. They can still be bad, BUT at least you'll get your money back. I, personally, check the balance (there's usually a telephone number on the card or use the company's website) shortly before I use the card as well as when I receive them to make sure the original seller hasn't used them.

By using the cards PROMPTLY AND CHECKING the balance the day you plan to use them you will lessen the chance of problems and embarrassment greatly.

Read the rules, understand them and you won't get burned. I use discounted cards all the time and when I do these simple things I rarely have problems, and at worst, get my money back.

Spamming my email address like no tomorrow. Stay away from them at all costs possible. Terrible company.

I purchased two $50.00 gift cards for Texas Roadhouse. I tried using them on the same day and I was only able to use $29.00 on one of them and the other card had a $0.00 balance. The restaurant manager looked up the transaction history on both cards. One card was activated in 2005 and the other one in 2006. Both had been completely used a day prior to when I bought them. The situation was very embarrassing at the restaurant. This company should be shut down.

DO NOT BUY FROM THEM!
They sold me a deactivated card.

Got burnt twice, stay away. I lost a couple hundred dollars.
Customer service stinks! Several emails not answered.
Very frustrating.

I purchased two $50 gift cards to PF Changs. They were both delivered via email. When I paid my bill I was informed by the manager that both cards had a zero balance. Fortunately I had only purchased them the day before and was able to call my credit card company and stop payment on the bogus gift cards. I called Gift Card Spread and left a message but I have not heard any reply from them. BUYER BEWARE.

Ripped off!

I buy a lot of gift cards especially for restaurants. I purchased about $500 for BJ's Restaurant last October. We usually go out once a week or so, not as much around the holidays.

I tried using a gift card over the weekend and I was told that this was already used. A very embarrassing situation. Order # BO-347096 on 09/14/2018 BJ's restaurant Brewhouse for $50.00 card # 6035710410731490258 pin # 6959 The manager was able to look this up and said it was used on 12/21/2018 in Miami. Please let me know what I can do about this. A very unhappy customer…….

This was there reply:
We regret to inform your that since this order is beyond the 60 day return policy as listed on the terms on our website, we are unable to assist your with the issue with this purchase.

I didn't want my money back or anything, I just wanted something that worked.

Billed me for 2 giftcards and only sent me one, no phone number to call, no response to emails, had to file dispute with credit card, very shady, avoid these bad people

This is not a trustworthy merchant.

It was a hassle from beginning to end. Confirming the purchase was difficult. Receiving the cards was difficult. When I first tried to print them, the system was down, and it took several phone calls before the system was up again enough to print simple pdf's.

Finally, when I used the 8 cards this evening, 2 of them were returned to me with a zero balance. Clearly, no diligence was done in making certain the customer actually obtained anything of value.

I should have read the reviews before using them. I too have opened a dispute with my credit card company, which I will surely win, but could really do without the hassle.

It appears this company makes its money by ripping people off who are not intelligent enough to know how to dispute the charge properly, or who simply don't go through the trouble.

These people should be investigated by the FTC and shut down.

Mailed card, they never paid. Fraud, fraud, fraud. Too bad you can't give them negative stars!
