Quick response

Occasionally the system is a bit frustrating and won’t let me purchase an instant voucher, but customer services at Boostworks always respond quickly to my request for assistance.

More agro than it's worth

There's a few idiosyncrasies with how the vouchers and the discounts work that you figure out by trial and error. Right now I have to wait 24 hours before I can buy the voucher and it's already delayed me buying the things I want to buy for a day. The support responds about a day late, often to say "that's just how it works, don't do that again" i.e. no refunds, no discount on vouchers you buy with your balance, and whether or not you can make payments seems random, and all you can do about it is wait 24 hours to try again. Quite a lot of agro to try and claw back the membership fee. I'm probably breaking even and it's annoyed me a bit. Worth it if you plan to buy a lot, possibly not ongoing.

Hi Ben 👋 Thanks for taking the time to share this. We’re really sorry to hear how frustrating your experience has been so far. It sounds like a few things haven’t been as clear or smooth as they should be, especially around how vouchers, discounts and payments work. It certainly shouldn't feel like trial and error to use our service, so your feedback highlights an opportunity for us to make things better.

Regarding the 24-hour delay, this is triggered automatically after unsuccessful transactions as part of our security checks. We completely understand that it’s inconvenient, especially when you’re trying to buy a voucher, and we’re always reviewing how we can make this less disruptive while still keeping accounts secure.

We’re sorry if our responses didn’t feel as helpful or timely as you expected – that’s not the experience we aim to provide. We’d be more than happy to provide further assistance to help you get more value out of the service, so do feel free to reach out to us again and we can support.

Thanks again for your honest feedback.

Raise a query on 31st March

Raise a query on 31st March (253604), chased on 8th April (which just raised another number 254219) - still no response as of today 17th April.
I have been trying to add funds to a reloadable card (which I do every month and have done for the last 3 + years).
Get all the way through the payment process, put my card details in and get "Unable to retrieve user billing addresses from the API".
This has happened previously and been resolved.
Tried phoning Boostworks today to get a message saying lines are closed for training and it goes dead, no option to leave a message or anything.

Failed product and no customer service

Boostworks organise discounts and special offers to particular groups. When one of their discount codes didn't work I raised the case with their customer service team. They asked for a screenshot of the rejection message, which I supplied within an hour. Three days later there has been no response, despite a reminder. Complete waste of time!

Avoid boostworks

Got access to boostworks through my umbrella company. Their website locked me out of my account as I was trying to buy vouchers for a laptop. Tried to resolve this with them, but they're simply not able to run their own website. I say that as someone who's worked on websites for almost 20 years.

They then lied about what happened to absolve themselves and their faulty, out of date website of any responsibility. Will be feeding back to my umbrella company about this - hopefully they'll consider using a more professional company in future.

Update

More lies from boostworks in their reply below. I was locked out after one attempt to buy vouchers, not because of anything I did but because your outdated website failed. Pretending you can't override your own website's 'automated' rules is an interesting excuse. Either you don't know what you're doing or you're too cheap to hire people who do.

And I did contact you to resolve this. Funny how I've received more of a response from boostworks after writing a public review detailing your unprofessionalism... nothing more than pr.

Hi Jonathan 👋 We're really sorry that you've had a negative experience using our service. As a standard security procedure, payment processing was blocked on your account for 24 hours due to multiple payments not being authorised. This was communicated to you by our team when you contacted us, but your feedback and this review has demonstrated that the messaging on our site doesn't make this process clear so it would've seemed like it wasn't working. Please know that our team didn't lie to you and we are able to run our site - your issue was a result of an automated security measure. If you'd like to speak to us about this in more detail, please feel free to get in touch.

Update 18.03.26:
Hi Jonathan, thank you for updating your review. We’re sorry that this experience has been frustrating for you. We understand that it caused inconvenience and that you feel let down. If you’d like us to look into anything further, please reach out to our support team and we’ll be happy to help. Thank you for your feedback.

It's a great concept but no cashback rule for part payment with balance has left me feeling ripped off

It's a great concept, but why oh why does using your balance for paying part of a voucher mean that you do not get cashback on the balance paid for by debit card?

I can see now there is a warning about not "boosting your balance" at checkout but I'm fairly new to the app and didn't realise what that meant.

I lost out on about £5 worth of cashback because it auto used my balance of £3.60 so I'm now feeling a bit ripped off..

Hi Sam 👋 We're really sorry that you've missed out on earning cashback because you used your balance. While we try and make our policy on this really clear during the checkout process, feedback like yours helps us understand how we can make improvements. So, thank you for bringing this to our attention! We hope this experience hasn't put you off using our service again. If you'd like to talk to us about this further, feel free to get in touch with us at help@boostworks.co.uk.

Issue with card loading which transpired to be a notification issue rather than the card. On raising the problem, it was quickly looked at and they personally reached out to check fully resolved, with a contact point if anything else was needed. No lengthy trawl through ten help menus, actual people helping and doing so quickly. Love it

Quick response

I reached boostworks customer care team to cancel an unsuccessful transaction and refund the amount. The customer support team responded quickly and did all the needful in refunding the amount within days. They keep me updated with every single progress. They are one of the best customer support team I have ever interacted

Help desk was amazingly supportive

I have used this benefit webpage only a couple of times and I never fell disappointed. Admittedly to make the most of it you must tweak your shopping habits but you are going to get used to it. Recently I did a mistake and Merv from the helpdesk was super attentive and helpful.

Excellent, outstanding customer service

By mistake I deleted a Morrisons instant voucher. I asked if it could be retrieved and in less than an hour a link was sent to the voucher.
Excellent, outstanding customer service for the 2nd time in a few months.

Cashback query

I had a query with cashback which hadn't tracked. Called them up and the issue was resolved very promptly within a couple of hours and received email confirmation of the update. Excellent, first class service...other companies could learn a lot from the service I received today. Very, very impressed.

Excellent quality of service.

I contacted Boostworks about an issue we had with renewing our membership through National Trust. I spoke to Merv, who was very friendly, polite & helpful, he listened while I explained my problem. Once Merv had all the information I gave to him, he explained clearly, what he was going to do, to try & resolve my problem. He explained that he would have to contact the suppliers of the voucher, then he would contact me as soon as he had a response from them, which is exactly what Merv did. I recieved an email from Merv explaining that my problem is now resolved & I will receive a full refund within 5 working days. Once again Merv was very friendly & polite. A great service to be proud of. Thank you.
