Gyft - Mobile Gift Card Wallet

response required

I’ve had this app downloaded for awhile and just finally decided to give it a try since I found a few unused gift cards I had. However, I wasn’t even able to add the first gift card. The app kept telling me it was unable to add my gift card, and to check the numbers to make sure they’re correct. I double checked, re-added them, and still it does not work. I know everything I entered was correct, because I just used the same numbers on the actual store’s website to check the card balance. As far as first impressions with apps go, this was a bad one. I went to check the app’s reviews to see if other people were having the same problem. Sure enough, I see many bad reviews for this app. Don’t see a point in keeping it if I can’t even add in the few gift cards that I have.

i downloaded this app and was so excited to not have to carry around all my gift cards. i immediately entered all my gift cards that i could. some businesses didn't come up. things began getting fishy when the app made me log in every time i entered it, but i figured it was just a security thing. i tried entering a new gift card a few hours after i got the app and it kept saying "validation error" even though the codes were correct and i had checked the balance on the website so i knew the card was fine. i decided to read the reviews and was appalled. i attempted to download the cards to apple wallet so i could delete the app so nothing happened, but i kept receiving the message "gyft not available". i immediately grabbed all my gift cards from the trash can just in case. when i went in the app again, it wouldn't let me log in. i tried to reset my password, but i once again got a "gyft not available" message. i hope that nobody else makes the mistake of downloading this app. it's a scam and if the physical gift cards don't work in stores, i will be extremely angry.

What a bunch of THEIVES!! So I attempt to pay with my Apple Cash Balance with ApplePay and a screen pops up saying that my gift card wouldn’t be provided instantly and if I wish to proceed... to which I tapped cancel purchase as I did not want to wait and would go to the store instead. And what do these people do they DEBIT MY APPLE PAY CASH BALANCE, where the transaction says approved and gives the transaction number and I receive an email saying my payment was declined?! I’m still waiting for a refund. Let me add that in Target app I canceled a gift card twenty minutes after purchase and my balance was refunded immediately because they didn’t actually complete the transaction like these LIARS. What a waste of my time and patience. Ugh how are these hacks in business? Oh yeah they hold on to our funds and claim a refund takes 7 days after your transaction doesn’t go through and make a killing of the interest they make from a bunch of dummies like us... awesome. This company should be ashamed of itself. What a hack

If there is one thing this app does, its not work. Seriously nothing on it works reliably or how it should. Gyft is literally false advertising, this is a crime in most US states. The app does not do what it claims it can do. They also have some of the world's worst customer service. You CAN NOT mess around with peoples money, their personal information, their trust and not be able to resolve issues if contacted... Not because these issues are insane bugs or 1 in a million type issues. We're talking about something as simple as "what happened to my gift card that I had on this app yesterday? It straight up disappeared while I was in the store trying to check out" and the response from Tech support "I'm not sure, have you tried restarting the app?... Oh you have? Well the ONLY IDEA we have is to wait 24hrs too see if that works" ... ARE YOU JOKING?! This is a joke... Apple I'm mainly disappointed in you for backing this app on top of allowing it to be on the App Store.

I was given a gift card from a local restaurant to make up for a bad experience. They sent it via Gyft so I had to sign up for the app. I tried registering via email on their website. Apparently my password didn’t meet their requirements so I tried again with a different password and got a message “you’re not allowed to register”. OK, awesome. Super helpful. Tried a couple more times, still unsuccessfully. Next I downloaded the iOS app and tried again. This time got a message “looks like you already have an account”. OK, nice that the website didn’t tell me this. Also, odd that they… went ahead and created an account with a password that didn’t meet their requirements? Hmm. OK so I tried “forgot password”. Got a message saying the password had been sent. Of course I didn’t receive anything (checked spam, nothing there either). Just an all around garbage experience. Do better.
