Buyer beware

I have purchased 10-15 gift cards/year for the past 10 years or so without a problem. This year, however, one of the gift cards I purchased for $250 had $25 on it when the recipient went to use it. I immediately called customer support who instead of fixing the card said I needed to start the dispute process. This was back in December. I entered the dispute which is handled by Blackhawk Network and have still not had a resolution. They are supposed to get back to you within three weeks- but having received no response, have emailed them every two weeks since with the response being someone will get back to you in 1-2 days which has never happened. I am still waiting----- Buyer beware.
4/17/2026 UPDATE from ck: although Josh below writes that I will be contacted shortly- I was contacted and essentially I have been asked to restart the dispute all over again- i.e. resubmit the dispute form that was sent by giftcards back in December within 10 days and "the process can take between 30 and 90 days". TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE. This is just a delay tactic and hope that I go away. BUYER BEWARE

Dear Cheryl,

We’re truly sorry to hear about this experience, especially after your many years of purchasing gift cards with us without issue. We understand how concerning it must have been to discover that a $250 gift card only had $25 available, as well as the frustration caused by the prolonged dispute process and lack of timely follow‑up since December. That’s certainly not the level of service we aim to provide, and we appreciate you sharing these details. We’d like the opportunity to review this further and see how we can help move things forward, but we’ll need to gather some information privately. Please check your email for a message from noreply.notifications@trustpilot.com and respond with the requested details so our team can assist you directly.

My order has been canceled multiple times for no reason, and it has been a huge waste of time. Honestly, buying a gift card in-store would have been much easier. What is even stranger is that my orders were still canceled when I paid through PayPal. If my account were really unauthorized, why would PayPal approve the transaction in the first place?

Hello,

We’re sorry to hear about your experience and understand how frustrating it can be to have your order repeatedly canceled, especially after taking the extra step to try a different payment method like PayPal. We recognize how confusing it feels when a transaction appears approved on one platform but is still unable to be completed, and we understand why this situation would feel like a waste of time. Our systems include additional verification measures to help protect customers, and sometimes these can result in cancellations that aren’t always obvious right away. We’d appreciate the opportunity to look into this further and review what may have caused the issue. Please check your email for a message from noreply.notifications@trustpilot.com and reply directly so we can securely gather your information and assist you further.
