No complaints, used it a few times.

I have used Cardyard a few times to buy some gift cards and have great experience without any problems. If you keep your eyes out and check often I am sure you will find a gift card you need and can save on, definitely worth looking.

Cannot Fault the Service Received

Bought a card in April but did not use it until August. At which point the transaction could not be completed because the card was not valid. I contacted them and was in communication with Lea. She investigated with the Retailer and subsequently reissued me with a new card. I cannot really fault the service as they remedied the problem when it was presented to them. I have only marked down because if the inconvenience caused. Will definitely use again but will check the validity as soon as I receive it.

What a professional organization this…

What a professional organization this is. Diane went over and above in getting my birthday greeting out. First she helped me fill out the form, then she made it happen faster than I thought possible, after my giving her the wrong address! The birthday sign was the perfect gift to my grandson. I would do it all again in a flash.

We've now received proof this review was not left by poor Robert Parkinson, but by a persistent fraudster who had stolen Robert's identity and credit cards. The fraudster was motivated to leave this fake review by resentment having been thwarted in his attempt to make a purchase on our website. Fraudsters use Trustpilot to try and create doubt and influence people that run ecommerce website, as a platform for bragging to each other, and to satisfy their desire to spread misery. You can see coercive behaviour; blaming us for exactly what he has done: identity theft. Claiming its main cause is ecommerce websites asking for ID, when he knows quite well the biggest cause is data breaches by easily guessable passwords and corrupt data centre employees taking bungs. Here at Cardyard, we store no sensitive data online.
For more comprehensive reviews of our service we recommend reviews.co.uk

Hi Robert - we don't take funds until the cards have been dispatched, so we didn't take payment from you. The delay in receiving a refund is purely down to your bank. We sell money online, and anti-fraud is our number 1 priority. This means we occasionally need proof that a buyer is the verified holder of the credit card used to make the purchase. You chose not to provide this proof so you are free to cancel your order and walk away, which is exactly what you did. You are wrong to assume we are harvesting identify for nefarious purposes and we are registered and are fully compliant with the Information Commissioners Office and GDPR.

I’m so pleased I found CardYard

I’m so pleased I found CardYard. I had made the mistake of buying App Store / ITunes gift cards instead of Apple gift cards and could not get a refund. Selling my cards on CardYard was so easy! I was dubious at first so did each card individually over a few weeks but it all went very smoothly and I had no reason to worry in the end. I’m so relieved I was able to recoup some of my money by selling them on their website. Will definitely use again if ever needed and happy to recommend them to others.

Thank you very much for your review Aimee. How Apple can come up with two independent payment products and call them App Store and Apple Store is beyond me. I'm very pleased you were able to free up cash from one Apple product and use it the way you want. As we say, take back control! Best wishes. Mike

“FANTASTIC SERVICE,GREAT WAY OF SELLING GIFT VOUCHERS

“Hi, firstly before I start and for purposes related to my review, I want to say neither I or any of my family or friends are affiliated or related to anyone connected with Cardyard.

I was lucky enough to win £5000 worth of John Lewis vouchers, now much as I like John Lewis I wanted to sell them as I needed to get some cash.

I was very dubious about selling the vouchers as the value was so high but after speaking to the wonderfully friendly Lea who talked me through the selling process I decided to go ahead and sell my vouchers to Cardyard,

I was offered a very reasonable rate for my vouchers but was still a little worried that I had to send my e-vouchers to them with all the codes, but was assured by Lea that they needed them to verify them, so they could put them onsale.

I did have to send over a copy of my photo I.D and billing address for security purposes which was not a problem.

Lea explained that as soon as the vouchers were sold it would take 14 days before I was paid as they had to go into a quarantine period so the buyers could check that the vouchers were ok.

My vouchers sold on the same day that they were put on sale and Lea sent me an email to say so and also to give me a date the money would be paid into my account.

They even sent me an email 3 days before my due pay date to say what time the money would be paid into my account.

I received my money on the stated date.

I can not express how easy this whole process was and how friendly Lea was and as you can see I was delighted with the service.

I can not recommend this company highly enough they were just fabulous and I would definitely use them again to sell any other vouchers I have without any worries,

So well done to you all for a great service and to anyone who may be worried about selling their vouchers if the experience you receive is as good as I got you should have a hassel free time..

ps, sorry for waffling on but I needed to say all that as the value of my gift cards was so high !

Thank you

Lee x”

Hi Lee, thank you for taking the time to leave such a fantastic review. I'm pleased hear that you got cash for your unwanted vouchers with Cardyard. I will be sure to pass on your kind words to Lea, I know she will enjoy reading them. I can understand why you would feel dubious especially for such a high amount of money but I'm happy that Lea was able to help you feel re-assured to use our service. We hope you use Cardyard again in the future. Thanks - Demi.

Zero Regrets - Great Service!

I had read mixed reviews on Cardyard, and put my gift card up for sale with caution, hoping that nothing went wrong!! I am happy to say everything went smoothly!

I was selling a £50 Asos evoucher, and was quoted £40.50. I waited two weeks, and as promised by Cardyard, I have received the full amount on the exact day stated.

I am very happy with the service and amount received for my card. I will definitely be using the services again in the future! Very happy customer!

Can't fault the service

Can't fault the service. Got 80% of the value of my card, which I can't complain about. It does take a few weeks from sending the card to receiving the money, so just be patient.

At first when I saw all these reviews I was a bit off. However I decided to give it a try and it went very well. I sold a gift card to them and they even paid me 2 days early. I would recommend to friends and family. I will also use in the future

I'm very pleased you took a leap of faith with Cardyard Tahir, and your experience was a good one. We apply very strict security protocols which excludes quite a few people, so they come here to moan. We link to reviews.co.uk from our website, and that is where people generally go to leave a review and give us a 96% delight rating, but its a different story here.
Thanks again for taking time to leave a review, and for recommending us. We really appreciate it.
Kind regards, Mike

Great experience with Cardyard

My second giftcard I have sold to Cardyard - can I say what an easy and pleasant process thank you for making it so simple. Having seen other negative views I was unsure at first but both my first experiences have been fantastic. Easy to track progress on your site and I was due payment tomorrow and I have received my money a day earlier which I think is great considering all that is currently going on. Thanks so much for this service it really helps when you have giftcards that are unwanted and I will definitely use this again over any other site.

Thank you so much for your lovely review Neesh, and I'm very glad you had a good experience with Cardyard. It is true with have a lot of negative reviews on Trustpilot. People don't expect to be thwarted when using a service, so when it happens, and we do turn down quite a lot of people, they want to let off steam. In order to provide the service we do, we have to be very strict with our security policies. Thanks again for taking the time to leave a review, and we really look forward to seeing you again on Cardyard. Best wishes, Mike

Do not use this service

Do not use this service. They do not honour their promises. You will send them something, and they will apply additional conditions on you before telling you they have decided they no longer feel like purchasing the thing you've sent them.

Disreputable that they are using Coronavirus as an excuse to not honour their contracts.

Every week we pay thousands of people for their unwanted gift cards, but unfortunately you are not one of them. As you can see from some reviews on here, you are not the first person we've turned down. We corresponded with you, including phone calls, and you said you would leave us bad reviews on all the platforms, but it makes no difference; we have to follow our process and stick to our policies. We buy and sell money online , and can only do so when everything is in place. I'm sorry we weren't able to process your card which we have returned to you.
Regards, Mike

Very easy way to sell unwanted gift cards

I was given a gift card for a shop i would never go to, so I wanted to sell it. After looking at various similar websites, I settled for Cardyard. It seemed the easiest and most certain , rather than messing about with bidders and waiting for it to be sold. i am glad i did! it was very easy to use. you just fill in an online form, and post it off. Then a few weeks later, it appears in your bank and you don't need to do anything! You also get regular emails on what stage it is at so you know they are processing it. The delay is not because they are waiting for it to be sold, but because they have to verify it. I guess that means checking you haven't used it! I would use them again and would recommend

Rude customer service staff

Rude customer service staff. Took over a month to pay me when other companies take a week tops. Every review they respond to is written to advise others as to the negatives about cardyard. Yet all they can do is say how the person writing the review was wrong or did not listen to the information the company gave them. Fact is no matter what people think of the company, the staff who reply to reviews ought to be a bit more respectful instead of trying to tell everyone else that the reviewer is incompetent or something. One review I wrote was met with a simple response saying that I had already been paid and that my review was outdated. They didn't pay me for another 2 days after I wrote that review. So they lied to make my review look inadequate. Jokers. Zeek was awesome, it's a shame they went out of business. Bo doubt this review will get a rather bias and improper reply. The way I was spoken to when I wrote directly to the company was disgusting..the name the advisor, lea, and another Mike ( who ignored my emails). Funny how they have now responded to this, exactly how I said they respond to people....
