I've had a few different interactions with blackhawk customer service and EVERY single interaction makes you feel like a human. They're courteous, authentic, and occasionally witty. They communicate well, they listen, and they get you the answers you need quickly and thoroughly. They're there to help you solve issues and if you're nice enough, they'll wave fees or give you credits back. THEEEEE best customer service experiences I've had in years. Love working with this company. Excelling

We received a gift card 5+ years ago. I was told there was no record of it, but then after 10+ email I was told that the funds had been returned to the State of Missouri. We called the state and were told they did not have any record of the funds being sent to them and asked for additional information. We called and were assigned a new case number and told someone would respond. They did not. When we followed up today we were told that no further information would be provided. This process began on 4.13 and is far from resolved. We've contacted Visa Corp to share this info as Blackhawk represents Visa, we've closed all Visa Credit Cards, and shared this info with family, friends and business associates to caution them about Blackhawk..

I usually do not like talking to call takers as they usually are script readers it was noice to talk to Janet as she did what I liked she listened to my problem and resolved the issue. That’s all anyone wants and when it comes to gift cards the norm you get is push back…then the fight starts and you usually get taken care of… it’s like make them work for it before caving in to them! My issue was not serious but I loved hearing let me take care of that.

You people suck. I called about a gift card at the end of December. After that every time I called. I was on the phone for at least 15 - 20 minutes. I got no where. First I would talk to a black woman. "I'll check on that for you. " or "let me check on that". Something to that effect. Then I get Mumbai. I can't do what they want. They wanted proof of my address. I couldn't fax them anything. They didn't give me a fax number. I don't have access to a scanner. So they screwed me out of $50. I've never had this much problem before. I told them I've lived here over 15 years. I haven't moved. They said they had an incomplete or incorrect address. Incompetence on the other end of the phone is the problem. They probably get bonuses for screwing people out of gift cards. Or send them to themselves or relatives. If i could leave a zero I would.

Only get 2 stars. whole experience with them was a complete nightmare and is still on going. An Odeon gift card is apparently issued by these people! The first and last lady that I spoke to were the best out of the bunch, out of the 4 phone calls I had with them, to sort this issue. should have taken 1-2 days to sort which it didn't so continued to phone daily for updates on the issue. This company issue gift cards for the Odeon cinema, it was not activated when it was sent out as Christmas gift. So it did not work, when used and subsequently caused a lot of embarrassment to the recipient. Plus trying to get it activated was also an issue which took me 4 days (and not through them - Odeon online customer services managed to activate card once I gave them the gift card number and a screenshot of the original order). Patrica finally looked into my case 5 days later, too late I had managed to sort it myself. Fingers crossed it works when I use it, as the recipient does not want to use again. It has been a very costly experience for me, when it was suppose to be a nice Christmas present. I suggest you don't use them and Odeon please get yourselves a new distributor for your gift cards. Date of purchase of gift card was end of November 2025, the experience with Blackhawk started on the 13th April 2026.
24/04/2026 - so a quick update yes they did look into my case, which I purchased at the end of November 2025, by credit card - it went through as a cash transaction so I had to pay a fee!! Gift card didn't as explained above activate. So the gift card is apparently now work according to the Odeon Help line as they activated it, Blackhawk has also told me it is working, but it wasn't until Odeon activated it last week. Blackhawk and Odeon don't seem to have any communication with each other and Blackhawk don't give you any incentives as way of an apology for their poor service. So they took the money in November, but didn't activate the card until April 2026 on my request. I will update you if I finally get to use my card. But my advise is give your friends and family cash and not gift cards.

The process was straightforward: I reported a gift card issue, they offered a fix, and I received it all within 2 days. I’m really impressed with their high standard of customer care.
