False advertising - Did not receive 8% bonus after purchasing £120

Edit: 24/4/26 - issue resolved. There was a short‑term technical issue and have sent me the bonus today.

I have tried contacting you but I still haven't received a reply.
On 14th April 2026, I saw on your website that you were giving 8% bonus top up if spend over £100 on One4All digital gift card (you have now changed the terms to spend £120).
I added £120 one4all to the order and 'SPRING' promo code and it said 'successfully added free items with promo code'. Once paid, I received the £120 gift card but the 8% gift card is nowhere to be seen. I have checked spam etc.
This is clearly false advertising and if not resolved I will have to report to the financial ombudsman as this is misleading customers to purchase gift cards due to the bonus and then not provide it.
I have a video to prove 'SPRING' code was activated.

I would give you 0 stars

I would give you 0 stars. Twice I had to change the recipient name where your system kept switching it to my information.. I changed it to correct person thought if I hit submit it would keep the correct information and go to the correct person the card was intended but your system changed the information back to my information and I sent myself a happy birthday gift card .. what would I send myself a gift card and pay $7.00 to do it.. this was a horrible transaction and I will never use your rip off service again

Hi Brian,

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We are very sorry for the frustration caused by the recipient name repeatedly reverting to your information, which resulted in the gift card being sent to yourself instead of the intended recipient, as well as the associated fee. This is certainly not the experience we want for our customers.

Spent over 30 minutes - FAIL!!!

Spent over 30 minutes, with various credit cards incl Paypal, trying to buy a gift card....every single order cancelled. And it's not by my bank/Amex/Paypal. All of those cards are being used validly online elsewhere.....Terrible site - you need to sack whoever created your security algorithm as it is turning customers away. I went ahead and purchased elsewhere - gift is on its way....

Update: - GC.com contacted me for more info (asking me to email them personal info - which is insecure). After a while I got a case closed notification......what a complete and utter clusterf**k of a company/vendor!!

Dear Alec,

We’re very sorry for the frustration you experienced while trying to complete your gift card purchase and understand how discouraging it must have been after multiple attempts with different payment methods. While our security systems are designed to protect customers from unauthorized activity, we recognize that they can sometimes impact legitimate transactions, and we regret that this prevented you from placing your order. We’d appreciate the opportunity to review what happened and see how we can help, but we’ll need a bit more information to do so securely. Please check your inbox (and spam/junk folder) for a message from noreply.notifications@trustpilot.com and reply to it with your contact details so our team can follow up directly.
