Great stuff

Like most people I was sceptical at first - bought a £50 Playstation voucher for £41, arrived immediately, worked perfectly. Great site, highly recommend.

You selected to be paid by Cardyard account credit. Once we made this payment to you, you requested payment of funds into your bank account so we immediately changed your order. You will receive cash payout on the next pay run, which is two days later. This will only be one day after the agreed schedule date because the original payment was made one day early.

False gift cards seller

Having been a customer since 2019 the service started off well but has gone downhill significantly.

On the 30th of January I bought 4 Currys egift cards, 1 of which turned out to be utilised previously and as such no balance available to use. I contacted the team directly on support at cardyard.co.uk as I have done previously where the team has acted promptly and returned my money, yet on this occasion I was met with a significantly ineffective customer service team.

My email read "Dear Sir/Madam,

I have purchased the below gift cards just now to find the second of the list is utilised already. Can you please return this money to the original FOP –"

and shared a screenshot to assist. The email was sent 13 mins after I had received the vouchers and I have never in the last 4 years asked for a refund of a gift card that I have used. Nevertheless "customer support" responded with an ask to share the gift card number having been unable to understand a simple instruction of it's "the second in the list".

After responding I was then told by Demi on the 1st of Feb that an "investigation had been opened" and that they would be in touch. 3 weeks passed and not a single email was sent to communicate what is happening as cardyard looks to hope that you'll forget about the issue and they can keep the revenue despite violating the sale of goods act of selling faulty gift cards.

It was only when I emailed informing them that I would be taking them to trading standards that apparently all of a sudden on a Sunday Demi said "We have now concluded our investigation and have issued a refund to your payment card. Thank you for your patience." with money having not been received nor a mention of the processing times.

Demi states she is the customer service manager but her and the team severely lack simple skills. A call to curry's would have immediately highlighted when the gift card was used but there is no concern for customer satisfaction.

AVOID.

After 4 years and countless purchases from us, you are suddenly saying AVOID because of a delay in refunding you for one £15 card. The card in question went into dispute with the seller and when this happens it can take longer to resolve, but it was done within our Ts&Cs. Very disappointing.

Great customer service

I have been a customer with Cardyard for nearly 5 years and have made over 300 purchases buying in excess of 1000 giftcards. I recently purchased 3 Amazon giftcards and had a problem with one of them. I contacted Cardyard to investigate and was refunded within 24 hours. This is brilliant all round website where everyone benefits and the customer service is excellent.

Very unreliable

(Update) Appears these people can never admit when they are wrong and it’s always the customer! Very poor service.

Very unreliable. At first I thought they were great! . My gift card went through fine (I was selling it) I put my correct details in the system and was told I’d be paid 8th of jan (today) I waited I was later emailed saying my details were wrong so wasn’t going through. So I emailed the company and told them I had entered the details correctly but gave them a different one instead. I was then told it was my fault as I hadn’t given my PayPal account details to them. I informed them I wasn’t asked for them only my card. The lady then admited she had got it wrong but stated I wouldn’t get my money till WEDNSDAY! Now! I told them that was totally unfair and why did I have to wait another 2 days! The lady just continued to blame me in not so many words. Told her I was sending a complaint! I wrote said complaint and guess what! The same lady emailed me back! So there isn’t any head people above her supposedly which has made me believe this site isn’t a very good one or is a scam all together! Want to prove me wrong! Pay me my money u have already sold my gift card! My details were correct! If ur system don’t accept certain banks them specify that! Not blame the customer! 😡 Not very happy and won’t be telling others to use ur site! If I don’t get my money no matter or little it is I’ll be taking it further! It’s not acceptable to rip people off

We provide a 5* service and you provided a 1* review. We tried to help you but you entered an incorrect sort code for your bank details so we couldn't pay you on the day. The correspondence from the support team was very polite and clear, and admitted to asking for PayPal details. We had apologised for this. Its clear now you want payment into your bank account. There's no getting away from it the sort code was wrong and you have now provided completely different bank account details to which we will attempt payment on the next pay run two days later (tomorrow the 10th January). The system recognised the sort code this time so it should go through. I know it can be frustrating when you make data entry errors but we have to make it clear that the error was on your side. If we don't make that clear then you won't know it is you that has to fix it. Thanks for submitting your gift card for sale on Cardyard. Mike
Update 10th Jan - we were able to pay you today which was the second attempt; thanks for correcting your bank account details and we have now completed the sell process on Cardyard.

Thanks for leaving your review so quickly after starting a sell transaction with us Aroon. You remarked on the negative reviews we get on Trustpilot. We sell money online which is a honeypot for fraudsters, and they leave negative reviews in order to sow seeds of doubt and spread their misery. We also get trolls. But its all worth it for the honest customers like you. Best wishes for 2024!!

Great and useful idea but payment service to sellers is back to front and lengthy

I think being able to swap a voucher for something else is a great idea. However, I think the wait time of 2 weeks is excessive to be paid if you are the seller. There’s nothing stopping the buyer not using the card until after the 2-week period and the seller has been paid. I understand the buyer has 42 days in any case to use the voucher after purchase. I genuinely don't understand why you are made to wait 2 weeks to be paid. The buyer is also not under any obligation to inform Cardyard within 2 weeks before the sellers gets paid that they have used the voucher, but the seller has to wait 2 weeks for payment. Seems the payment service to the seller especially is a bit back to front. The exchange and payment to the seller could be done with being brought in the 21st century to be fair in regard to speed. Its handy to have though if you have a voucher you don't want.

We have tried many different ways to work the service, and the one we have now is the one that works best for all parties. Payments for gift cards is a lot more complicated than it seems, and obligations continue after a gift card has been redeemed. We have no plans to change the 2 week quarantine. Thanks for using Cardyard.

Great Service and Company

Really happy with Cardyard. Have bought 8 cards from here in past year. Very easy to use. 1 card had a problem with balance which was sorted really quickly. I was not aware of the 42 day spend time so only buy when you know you will use quickly.

Great place to sell gift cards

Sold a few gift cards on Cardyard, excellent service, yes you have to wait 14 days to get paid but that’s fine and they have paid out every single time.

Well continue to use them!

Thanks.

Smooth service, no issues

I had a great experience selling my GiftCard on Cardyard. I was a bit hesitant as I had never sold a giftcard before and it was quite a high value card, but everything went smoothly and I got paid on time. What made me choose Cardyard over a very similar company was the website seemed much easier to use.

In short: 5-stars and would use again.

The website is very reassuring

The website is very reassuring. I often sell cards on it and always receive the corresponding payment. I feel confident about the amounts involved; they do a great job. I have also bought The White Company cards, which saved me a lot of money. Most importantly, if there are any issues, communicating with customer service results in a quick response.

Please remove this website! It is a scam and Customer service is a disgrace

Please remove this website because it is not legal anymore! It will ripp you off and the customer service is so rude! They don't care about customers... i have been selling my gift cards for almost 2 years and now I have decided to stop it! What a scam they are! When I have 2 gift cards, I usually sell both at the same time, because in that case they will send you more money. If you send 1gift card today and 1gift card tomorrow you will get less money for your cards!!...I had complained about that to their customer service(agent Nicky - disrespectful old lady) and they pretend that everything is normal..... I sold more than 80 gift cards and this is a disgrace. They assure me that everything is alright and I know it is not because amount for the 1gift card(Uber) when you decide to sell it through paypal is 7.61£ and if you decide to sell 2gift cards at the same time you will get 16.21£ which means 8.10£ per 1 card in that case. They intentionally rescheduled my gift cards so they can pay lower amount... Agent Nicky didn't respond on my messages when she realised that they ripped me off!

We are trying to help you by providing a service and you make these upsetting and false allegations. You also made a wholly inaccurate derogatory statement about one of our staff who went out of their way to assist you. The shortfall in payment is due to PayPal cross border fees which are out of our control. We pay £8.60 for an Uber £10 gift card. You want cross border payment into Paypal, so they remove 99p and you get £7.61. You get double payment for two of them = £17.20, and Paypal withhold 99p so you get £16.21. If is best to submit a single order to Cardyard which will result in a single payment. You submitted 2 sell orders, and the cards sold on different days, so you got paid on different days, and paid PayPal 99p twice. Having looked into this its clear you are based outside the UK, but we are a UK only service, so its about time you stopped using our website, thanks.
