Really Disappointed That They Expire Your Points Without Warning!

Really disappointed that I missed the update about points expiring sent back in March. There was no warning that it was about to happen. If I had known before they expired, I would have spent them.
I've lost £50 reward because of this and feel utterly cheated!

Not impressed at all!

The discounts % are not as big as the ones that other similar service providers offer, and I am not sure why but does not feel right.

One big surprise to me is that they automatically delete from your account any balance of gained cashback if it stays in your account for more than 12 months. This feels wrong, I have lost over 40 pounds of my balance due to this and it does not feel right. They did not send any reminder and I am just not used to this 'policies'. This never happened with previous services providers that I have enjoyed during my career as a contractor. Policies like this does not make sense and make you wonder why am I being penalised for that? Not a single reason for recommending them in comparison with other service providers. Hope this help you guys.

Issue with reloadable card, lack of timely resolution

Reloadable gift card ordered, arrived promptly, I activated it and this is when the problems started.
It says it can take up to 4 days from activation for the money to be loaded onto the card and tells you check the balance before you try and use the card to ensure it’s there.
Tried to check the balance but it said the pin was inactive or invalid.
4 days later I got an email from Boostworks telling me the card was corrupt and they wanted my address to send a new one (they already have my address from the original order so this was clearly just a delaying tactic)
Another 4 days later and the replacement card has still not arrived. I’ve been told I can’t even get a refund as I’d need to send the card back for that - impossible as I DON’T HAVE the new card, it hasn’t arrived!!
They have £100 of my money, that I can’t get refunded nor can I use it because I don’t have a working reloadable card.
Terrible service and they really don’t seem to either care or be in a hurry to resolve the fact that I’m currently £100 out of pocket with nothing to show for it

Hi Kirsty 👋 We're really sorry that you're disappointed by our service. Unfortunately, some retailers have a policy whereby the reloadable card is blocked if the balance is checked before the card is activated. Our team asked for your address as part of our standard process when sending out your new card, just in case circumstances do change. Your card should have arrived today but we do specify that new card orders can take up to 14 working days to arrive. A member of our team tried to contact you via email and phone on Friday (1 November) to discuss this further - we'd love to resolve this for you so please do respond or reach out to us again.

If I could give 10 stars I would. Under pressure, I made a mistake with an important purchase and panicked, massively, when I realised the error. Merv at Boostworks could not have been more helpful. I am enormously grateful and appreciative of the help and wonderful support received today.

Great service, great team.

I had an issue with cashback from a supplier. I sent an email to BoostWorks and was most impressed with their prompt and effective response. They kept me well informed and asked for some extra information. They had to go back to the supplier several times but persevered and succeeded. I really felt they were on my side, as their customer, and felt a valued customer. Many thanks for going that extra mile.

Ruined by Xexec people …

Once was a good experience under PeopleValue and then the Xexec people came in and discounts were worse, big brands left and the level of service went downhill.

Don't leave it 12 months - it will be taken

I'm another individual frustrated by Boostworks greedy approach of pocketing my money after 12 months of inactivity. We recently moved to Boostworks from Rewardgateway where previously I has no issues and the benefits were significant. Yeah, it's only £12, but that's just not the point.
