I placed multiple orders through ****** pay before, and my orders all went through, no problem. Today I decided to place an order under my dad's ****** account (same credit card linked to the account), and I was instantly banned from the platform from their compliance team. I can show ID, and my card and everything, but there is no appeals, nothing. I have never had issues before, and just because of what I suspect to be a name/email mismatch on the ****** I was ordering with. Please see my previous orders that went through... I used the exact same card, but with a ****** pay under my name.Business Response

I spoke to an agent an supervisor who were very rude and informed me that they will no long process any transactions from me. I asked why and told them that i had plenty of funds available. They refused to provide an reason. I would like to know why this is the case and how i can move forward in the future as a customerBusiness Response

Your order was canceled because we were unable to verify certain (1) order, (2) payment, and/or (3) delivery information. When we can’t verify this information, we are unable to process your purchase and are unable to reverse this decision.
Any pre-authorizations or pending transactions on your statement are NOT a charge and they will be removed automatically within the next 7 business days. You may independently verify this with your payment card issuer.
As the gift card industry is highly regulated, our agents cannot provide further details as to the specific reasons your transaction was declined. Unfortunately, we are unable to process future orders from this account.
We apologize for any inconvenience caused.Initial Complaint

Greetings from Gift Card Granny.
We received your BBB Review regarding the order that you placed on the 19th, and we would like to address the issue with you.
We tried to call you at **************, but to no avail.
Upon checking the order, we are showing that the link was sent to the intended recipient: *****************************. It was also claimed by this email back on the 19th of April.
The recipient just needs to access the gift by claiming the gift through the email. It will ask the recipient to log in to the website and once logged in, the Target Gift information should be accessible.

Purchased a $250. gift card which I am using myself as the intended recipient has been gifted with something else. I have yet to find a merchant willing to accept it as the stores I have approached. either in person or online have stated "not a valid credit card number." Have tried ******* Staples, ********** to no avail. Contacted the company issuing the card and have been told that they "have no control over who will or will not accept the card as that is determined by the merchant." Did I just make a donation to "Gift Card Granny" or is there actually some value to this card?Business Response

Hi ******
The service agents have been engaging with you regarding your $250 card. The Amazon charge was reversed hence giving the full balance back to the card. The card can be used on line at most retailers that accept ********** in the ****

I received a $250 gift card for Christmas from a relative in 2023. I have tried to use the card in person and online. I have requested the card to be ran in different ways and transactions below the amount on the card. It gets declined every time. **************** is impossible to get answers from. The online chat just goes in circles. I call the customer service number, and it tells me no one is available and disconnects. I will never purchase a gift card from this site and will be sure to spread the word as much as possible too.Business Response

I TOLD THEM THE NAME OF THE COMPANY - THE KIND OF GIFTCARD THAT I INTENDED TO PURCHASE - THE TOTAL AMOUNT OF MY PURCHASE. SO I WENT TO THE GIFTCARDGRANNY APP AND WEBSITE TO PLACE MY ORDER. I HAD THE COOKIES ENABLED ON MY INTERNET BROWSER. I REFRESHED THE WEBSITES WEBPAGE ATLEAST 3 OR 4 TIMES TO MAKE SURE THAT I WAS LOGGED INTO MY ACCOUNT. THEN I TRIED TO SUBMIT MY OWN PERSONAL INFORMATION. I RECHECKED MY INFORMATION 3 TIMES TO MAKE SURE THAT IT WAS CORRECT. I INPUT MY CREDIT CARD INFORMATION EXACTLY AS IT IS SHOWN ON MY CREDIT CARD. I INPUT THE SECURITY CODE ON THE BACK OF MY CREDIT CARD AND I TRIED TO SUBMIT MY ORDER. I HAD A PROBLEM WITH THE ***** CODE FOR THE FREE SHIPPING SO WHILE I WAS TRYING TO SUBMIT MY ORDER I CALLED UP THE GIFTCARDGRANNY CUSTOMER SERVICE TELEPHONE NUMBER.AND I WAS SPEAKING WITH A MALE *** THERE. MY ORDER WENT THROUGH. AND THEN 2 MINUTES LATER GIFTCARDGRANNY CANCELLED MY ORDER. THEY TOLD ME TO TRY AND RE SUBMIT IT ******** I TRIED TO DO IT ANOTHER 3 OR 4 TIMES. THE ORDER(S) WENT THROUGH AND THEN 2 MINUTES LATER THEY ALL WERE CANCELLED. SO I CALLED BACK GIFTCARDGRANNY AND THEY SAID THAT IT WAS DISCOVER CARD FAULT AS TO WHY MY ORDER(S) DIDN**;T GET PROCESSED AND TO CALL BACK DISCOVER CARD. THIS WENT ON FOR 3 OR 4 HOURS WITH ME TRYING TO PLACE MY ORDER(S) AND CALLING EACH COMPANY NUMEROUS TIMES. GIFTCARDGRANNY CHARGED MY CREDIT CARD $506.95 - AND THEY REFUNDED THE TOTAL AMOUNT TO MY CREDIT CARD. I AM IN GOOD STANDING WITH MY CREDIT CARD COMPANY.

I ordered a gift card on 9/12/24 for my grandsons birthday. It was supposed to be shipped out the same day. Today I was informed that the card has not been received. When I checked the status it was still in printing. I texted with the company and the only options are to ship it tomorrow by regular mail or receive a refund. These options are totally unacceptable! No one should ever use this company!!!Business Response
