I ordered a $100 bed bath and beyond gift card on June 4, 2022 through Achievers, which is my employers benefit recognition company. The gift card was shipped via regular mail without tracking and was supposed to arrived within 25 business days. It did not arrive so I followed up multiple times throughout July. On my first encounter, I spoke with a representative and told them that I wanted my points refunded as the item I wanted to purchase the giftcard with was no longer available ( and I could have purchased it if the gift card had arrived). The representative told me that despite the terms of the transaction, they will reach out to the vendor to get a refund and I will hear back within 3-6 business days. I did not hear back from anyone so I reached out via email and phone multiple times. None of the representatives I spoke to had a resolution for my case and would not allow me to speak to a manager about the issue. They said they escalated the case however no timely resolution occurred. I received on email on 8/5/2022 saying they shipped another gift card again without tracking. I called achievers and they told me they could do nothing except reissue the gift card. Overall, extremely poor customer service with poor communication. I the would like the BBB help to either get a gift card sent with tracking or my points refunded (as the company messed up my order which caused me to forgo another transaction)Business Response

I purchased a card from amazon from Gift Card Mall. They sent it to me just fine. I use $40 of the $200 balance on the card. I try to use the card an hour later and the balance is zero. In that time someone used all of the balance 3 states over. I contacted Gift Card Mall, after an hour of automated telephone jargain, and they urged me to contact the seller.... I asked the, "you mean the fake company that took my 156$?" They said it may take a month to get back to me. I put that card on my credit because I'm poor and needed tires. They could care less that I'm out that money. To get this resolved, I was told to check my card balance everyday and when the unauthorized buy goes throug, to contact them again. I checked today, day one, the card isn't even active anymore. I have no way to get my money back and the non-english speaking customer service seems to care less.Business Response

I am rejecting this response because:The funds have not been returned to my card. I finally received the replacement card. I am awaiting an email to "start the process". I do not wish to close this until the funds they allowed to be taken through sub-par security practices, are returned to me. I am a struggling father. I purchased that card on my Amazon credit card to buy tires for my car I rely on to go to work. Imagine my disappointment when I go to finally do that, with debt I took on, and it's just whisked away. This process is entering its second week, I will accept the response when the funds are returned. They created a cased #, DS0385855 , but I am awaiting to hear if my claim is rejected or not.

I purchased a $25 **** gift card from these guys, about 2 years ago. It was never opened and as they state right on the card - "Funds do not expire". I called to get a replacement card and they said there was 0 balance on the card. I said that is not possible as it was never even opened. Held for a while and they came back saying that after 12 months there is a $3 charge per month, for what I have no idea, and that the card has 0 dollars on it, even though according to them the funds never expire. No where on the packaging is this stated. This card needs to be replaced and I will also make sure to tell anyone that listens that they should should not purchase cards from this scam of a company!Customer Answer

It is one of those companies that you are never sure of the name. The card says "The Perfect Gift", site is https://www.theperfectgift.ca/contact/ and says The Perfect Gift but when you go to the Contact Us section it has a name of Blackhawk Network and a different number, ************.

My girls birthday party was in May this year 2022. They recieved this $75 OmniCard **** giftcard. I just tried to used the card in July 2022 and it's expired 03/22. Crazy thing is the friend that purchased it put the receipt in the card with it and it was clearly purchased May 1st, 2022. Which means they're selling expired cards and keeping the money because they won't let you use them after the expiration date. When you call they hang up on you. I decided to look at their reviews and they have 1 and a half stars. They're stealing everyone's money. The reviews are terrible. So they're getting rich off everyone.Business Response

I am rejecting this response because:The company cannot consider this case closed or resolved, because they have not provided the most important detail. They have not indicated when the check will be mailed. I have talked with numerous individuals, including managers (*********************). All they will tell me is that once the check is issued, allow 3 to 5 business days to receive a postcard check. For all I know, it could *********** months for them to process a check, especially since this case has been ongoing since July 15.In my opinion, the company should provide a date that the check will be mailed, and mail it via a service with a tracking number (i.e., Fed ******** etc.).I am also very disappointed that they will not reimburse $119.00 for the activation fee on all 20 gift cards. The activation fee is stated on the cardboard that contains the **** gift cards. You cannot use the gift cards unless you pay a $5.95 activation fee per card. In other words, the cards are useless unless you pay the activation fee. The stores that sell these **** gift cards will not sell them until you purchase the activation fee. This should fall squarely on Blackhawk instead of the retailer.

Received a $50 prepaid **** card for a gift. Tried to use on an online purchase and it was denied. I called customer service and they said that someone else had registered the card and used it. They said the card had been used on 1/3/2022 at a business called *************. Since the purchase was more than 60 days ago, they would not even entertain disputing it. Like I would know that somehow, someone had obtained the card numbers on a sealed **** card. I have never been to ************* by the way. I called both the customer service and corporate numbers and received no resolution.Business Response

BBB asks third parties who publish complaints, reviews and/or responses on this website to affirm that the information provided is accurate. However, BBB does not verify the accuracy of information provided by third parties, and does not guarantee the accuracy of any information in Business Profiles.
When considering complaint information, please take into account the company's size and volume of transactions, and understand that the nature of complaints and a firm's responses to them are often more important than the number of complaints.
BBB Business Profiles generally cover a three-year reporting period, except for customer reviews. Customer reviews posted prior to July 5, 2024, will no longer be published when they reach three years from their submission date. Customer reviews posted on/after July 5, 2024, will be published indefinitely unless otherwise voluntarily retracted by the user who submitted the content, or BBB no longer believes the review is authentic. BBB Business Profiles are subject to change at any time. If you choose to do business with this company, please let them know that you checked their record with BBB.
As a matter of policy, BBB does not endorse any product, service or business. Businesses are under no obligation to seek BBB accreditation, and some businesses are not accredited because they have not sought BBB accreditation. BBB charges a fee for BBB Accreditation. This fee supports BBB's efforts to fulfill its mission of advancing marketplace trust.
