Saved me so much time buying digital cards for my team incentives rather than having to go and buy physical cards.

Rated 4 out of 5 stars

It's easy to buy and redeem a gift card. However, it's a bit time-wasting to activate the card after purchased.

Company details

Written by the company

Based in Melbourne, Australia, The Card Network was founded with one purpose, to inspire the way people gift. We design gift cards for gifting, and we design systems to make it easier for gifts to be given. Why? Because we know it is more than a gift card. It could be a thank you, happy birthday, I love you or even a welcome to the world! Either way, it's so much more than a gift card. It is a chance to provide happiness and gratitude, and there is nothing better than that.

Twice I tried twice to purchase online…

Twice I tried twice to purchase online voucher and both times you cancelled my order with any clear reason. I wasted 3 days on this.

I ended up having to go to the supermarket and acquire a gift card.

I found the multi-card ideal as a gift ideal and easy.

I found the multi-card ideal as a gift for my grandson as it gives him a range of stores to spend his gift. The process of selecting the card and $ amount then processing was very straight forward and he got it emailed to his phone immediately.

The gift card was not instantly sent to recipient.

The gift card was not instantly sent to the recipient. I wrote an email but because it was over the weekend, I didn’t get a reply however I called on Monday during business hours, no one answered the line. Got alittle worried but finally someone replied my email and resent the gift card to the recipient.

Scam - Avoid

This service is a complete scam. Avoid at all costs. I have had a terrible customer service experience like many other reviews (mixed among the fake 5* Google reviews these guys obviously pay for - one of which compliments their food and menu!)
These cards do not work and any attempt to get a refund is met with "email us and we will respond" - which they don't.
Legit case for a complaint to the ACCC.
