Giftchoice Reviews 107

Having been a victim of the same issue, buying a gift card in good faith and finding that it cannot be redeemed on the website, I have reported the matter to Action Fraud and Money Saving Expert to further investigate. This has to be stopped as the cards are still being sold in major retail outlets to consumers.

Cannot convert voucher codes to vouchers. Website says “local server error”. Companies House shows an application was made in June 2021 for this company to be dissolved, and then an extension made. £900 vouchers purchased in August 2021 - so Giftchoice have continued to sell giftcards despite live application for dissolving the company. Total scam/fraud!

Absolute joke of a company, been trying for over a week numerous times a day with no luck trying to convert my giftchoice card. I've also contacted their customer service via email 4 or 5 times (the only contact method available) also with no luck, they just don't get back to you. It's always error code 404 or 500 n states to contact system administrator but doesn't give you any details on how to.
Update
After trying for the best part of a month at all hours of the day I finally got to use the vouchers by logging onto the site as normal, just by pot luck it worked once in around the hundredth time I tried, even tried at 3am 12pm etc, all hours of the day n night). I have informed argos of the chew n told them about others having the same problem n argos from Hartlepool said that she would try to get them took of the shelf, the next time I went to argos the gift choice cards weren't there but gift choices brand of other gift cards were still up so just beware before you trust what a well known shop sells try researching it for real reviews (a quick trustpilot lookup on Google should be enough), she had also stated another customer had recently been in complaining of the same thing

Same as previous reviews, unable to redeem gift vouchers and keep getting error message. No reply to any messages sent.

As a sidenote they did work about 10 days ago so hopefully all is not lost.

Giftchoice website has been taken down for passed three days??? Says it all !SCAM!

Absolute scam. Always unable to redeem!

Given gift card for Christmas. First it needs to be redeem for the store of your choice, so can't be used straight away. Then when try to redeem it is "out of stock due to high demand". Crazy! This is the same as others have found. Also shows company logos on the card that are no longer part of the scheme.
If anybody is thinking of buying these as a gift don't!

I managed to eventually sort my Gift Choice gift card out by contacting Black Hawk via Messenger on Facebook and they managed to retrieve the code I needed !

Code didnt work and they dont reply to emails

I was given this as a birthday gift ,every time I selected store it said it was unavailable and that was after many trys just to get past the redeeming process . Definately dont buy .

Joke of a company! I received a gift card as a gift last Christmas, it is now October and I still cannot redeem it due to retail vouchers being ‘out of stock’… the voucher has been paid for, how on earth can a voucher be out of stock???! Stay away! Con artists

This company is fake Saturday 25 sent code in with email no earlier gift card several attempts at contacting no response the card was a birthday present DO NOT BUY THESE CARDS company going bust ? Wasre of money

Horrible horrible giftvoucher site. The cards you want are always "temporarily out of stock" which means your money is stuck and you neither redeem nor get a refund.

My husband and I were bought these as a present i have never had such a God awful voucher in my life an absolute waste of money and a complete waste of money I feel we have lost over 100 pounds I am unable to swap for anything tried to get John Lewis that was said not at this time and the other shops are dreadful

This company is a disgrace! Wanting to redeem in Sainsbury’s but informed the the e-cards are ‘out of stock’. How on earth can an electronic card (that has already been paid for) be out of stock!! I think a call to the regulators may be in order!! 😡😡

Very limited shops to redeem from, when you do try and redeem majority of them are out of stock. Gift choice should be avoided at all costs

Same as other users, this is a gift card to purchase, wait for it....gift cards! Except the e-gift cards you are supposed to redeem against are out of stock. How does that work...an e-card is virtual and is not a stocked item. So you end up with a card you can't redeem, in short, theft. Avoid. And lobby the retailer who sells these to stop their sale.
Just give cash or an instant balance retailer specific card.

If I could give them 0 then I would ….. how can an e-card be out of stock ? I was gifted a card but am unable to redeem it at the one company I may be interested in, I just get an out of stock message , how ?? I have messaged but no reply , please avoid this terrible company, they are stealing peoples money.

Not able to redeem the vouchers. Comes up with a message saying 'not in stock'. These vouchers are money not items how does it make sense for them not to be in stock!!!!!

Due to the pandemic been unable to spend gift card and it went out of date contacted customer service, about as much use as a chocolate teapot they keep my birthday present money and I loose £25.00 do not use this company very unhelpfull
