Rated 1 out of 5 stars

Yet another review to say that not having the original purchase receipt means you can't use the voucher. If usemygift actually read these reviews, NOBODY THINKS TO GIVE THE RECEIPT TO THE RECIPIENT,... See more

Purchased for elderly couple finally coming out of their COVID isolation and getting confidence to mix.
What a total let down use my gift have been. The boat cruise with cream tea no longer available and we have just been informed we can not have a refund, only option within the area that the couple are is to take a helicopter trip!!! - after getting through Covid my 85 year old uncle would probably have heart attack!!! We paid for a cream tea cruise, not a helicopter ride. We should be able to have a full refund if they can not provide what was purchased. I've never put a review up before, however this kind of service is a disgrace, please be aware. p.s. customer service has been awful too...

Terrible

Terrible! Rip off, avoid!
£200 gift card and we have no nice places to choose, we paid £20 to extend this voucher because of covid!
We have since exchanged out £200 gift card to a hoseasons, giving us £100 off a stay!
This now has to be used via there site with limited stays! The stay we wanted isn’t included, so basically we have lost £120 so far and ended up with a small gift card we can’t use!
Somebody acknowledge these diabolical reviews and shut this firm down!

No customer service...or care.

I redeemed a voucher for a one night stay and theatre package in Febuary 2022. To date the provider has failed to either honour the dates requested or offer alternative dates. I have made repeated attempts requesting Activity Superstore to resolve the matter but they just keep refering me back to the provider. Due to the amount involved my grandson, the original purchaser, will be taking the matter through the small claims court. Very poor and suspect service, we will never use Activity Supert store again.

Had a voucher that was issued before corona virus. I spoke with them to extend it due to being unable to use the voucher during Covid and was told there was no record of me calling ( convenient) so they would not allow me to use a voucher that was useless as couldn’t use as nothing was open. Poor company

Given this afternoon tea for 2 as a gift last Christmas but only using it now as places start to reopen. Valid until December 2022 so I thought it would be fine, how wrong was I. They refuse to validate this as I don’t have a till receipt from when it was bought, and neither does the person who bought it for us. As the gift box contains a unique number and it doesn’t mention needing the till receipt anywhere on the gift box why would you keep it. Do not buy one of these gift vouchers, they are a rip off! Gave one star as you cannot give zero.

Robbing (C word)

Robbing (C word)
Had a clay pigeon shoot for two as a gift, after registering what seemed to be three times for different sites, the voucher now claims to be only for one, and despite claims of having shoots local to me, the most local one available to book, is 150 miles away.

Much better off just buying a groupon.

Total waste of Money and a CON !

Total waste of Money for the buyer and very annoying for the recipient of the gift as it is impossible to register it or get any response from the company, a total CON. This company should be reported to Trading Standards, as they do not provide any service they report to do. or respond to any communications.

DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY.

DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY.
This company is an absolute rip off, they are very quick to point out the exclusions which are on their website, after the sale, but do not print them on the actual vouchers you receive as a present. As a result, I would've had a debt of over £200 for paintball for 8 people. To book the event privately would have been much, much cheaper.
