EJ Gift Cards Mixed Experience with EJ Gift Cards - Competitive Rates but Poor Customer Service

Recently, I used EJ Gift Cards (ejgiftcards.com) and found their rates to be some of the most competitive. However, I did encounter some issues during my purchase that left a sour taste in my mouth.

To start with, I paid through Zelle but unfortunately, I forgot to include the order number in the memo. Consequently, my order was cancelled as EJ Gift Cards claimed they did not receive payment. I wrote to their customer service to resolve the issue and they were finally able to connect my payment to my order.

However, what got me disappointed was their response which I found very rude. The email reply was full of accusations which I completely refute. Apparently, I was accused of not only forgetting my order number but also of checking out via Coin payment instead of Zelle. This was something that could easily have been clarified with an investigation. What irked me the most was that if I had checked out via coin, it would have shown a lower amount and not a Zelle address. To make matters worse, the Zelle address involved was a new one compared to the previous order I submitted two months prior.

I must say, I did not appreciate being accused of something that was completely untrue. I only asked for customer service to resolve the mistake, but instead, they accused me of something I did not do. This is not acceptable behavior.

Despite the poor customer service, I still find EJ Gift Cards to be a great platform for buying gift cards at an affordable rate. However, I would advise that they work on their customer service approach as they risk alienating valuable clients with a poor attitude.

EJ Gift Cards My Review: EJ Gift Cards for Office Depot - Smooth Purchase Process, but Some Limitations at Redemption

I recently purchased Office Depot gift cards from EJ Gift Cards and wanted to share my experience. While Honey normally helps me find the best deals, they had no offers for Office Depot at the time. So, I decided to check out EJ Gift Cards and was pleased with their selection. However, the only downside was that they only had $25 denominations available.

The process of purchasing the gift cards from EJ was smooth and quick, but I did run into some unexpected issues when attempting to use them at Office Depot. It turns out that you can only use up to five gift cards in a single transaction, which was not disclosed by either EJ or Office Depot. Thankfully, I only purchased five gift cards, so I didn't encounter any issues in this regard.

However, I was also disappointed to learn that Office Depot treats their rewards as gift cards as well, and trying to use it before the gift cards I purchased results in the last EJ gift card being declined. This was especially frustrating as I was counting on an $11+ discount from my rewards, which I could no longer use before the expiration date.

I wish I had known this information beforehand as I would not have purchased the fifth gift card and could have potentially saved more money without it. Overall, I had a positive experience with EJ Gift Cards, but I do hope that they could put up a warning about the limitations when using the gift cards at Office Depot to avoid any stress or frustrations for future customers.

EJ Gift Cards Beware of EJ Gift Cards: A Cautionary Tale of Lost Money and Redeeming Hassles

If you're considering using EJ Gift Cards (ejgiftcards.com) as your go-to source for discounted gift cards, I would advise against it. While the savings may seem attractive, the risk of losing your money due to issues with redeeming the gift cards is not worth it. However, if you do decide to take advantage of the deals, my advice is to redeem the gift cards as soon as you receive them. This will help you avoid any potential problems or issues that you may encounter down the line.

When I first tried EJ Gift Cards, I was intrigued by the discount offered on Petco gift cards. As a pet owner, I figured it was worth a shot. I purchased one on July 25th, 2021 for $25 and typically use them straight away. However, this time around, I only used $12.76 and held onto the remaining balance. It wasn't until today, September 19th, 2021, that I attempted to use the rest of my gift card balance, only to find that it was showing as $0.00.

Upon further research, I discovered that this was a common issue among reviewers. Many people have lost hundreds of dollars in gift card balances, and I was lucky enough to have only lost a small portion. Still, you can imagine my disappointment and frustration at losing more than I saved in previous deals.

To make matters worse, I also learned that those who sell gift cards to EJ Gift Cards aren't receiving much in return or getting their money back on time. All in all, I do not recommend this site and encourage others to be cautious when using it. You may think you're saving money, but in the end, it's just not worth the risk.

EJ Gift Cards Slow Payouts and Paypal Fees: My Experience with EJ Gift Cards

Looking to sell gift cards fast? Then perhaps EJ Gift Cards isn't the best option for you. Based on personal experience, this reviewer warns against utilizing their services if you are in need of immediate payout. For example, the writer sold a Target gift card and did not receive any communication for two weeks. After having to reach out, they finally received their payment a few days later. While the payout eventually arrived, the reviewer was disappointed to learn that EJ Gift Cards used Paypal for the transaction, which resulted in a fee being taken out of the payout. This was the first time they encountered a gift card resale site doing this, leaving them feeling like they had been shortchanged. Although the amount in question was small, this experience has deterred the writer from ever using EJ Gift Cards again.

However, it is important to note that the reviewer doesn't necessarily consider EJ Gift Cards a scam, as they did end up receiving their payment eventually. Nonetheless, it is suggested that the site may be operated by a small team or even an individual who doesn't have the time to dedicate 100% of their efforts into running the business. In short, there are better options available for buying and selling gift cards. If you're looking for a recommendation, Cardcash.com may be worth a try.

EJ Gift Cards Disappointing Experience with EJ Gift Cards: Promised Payment Not Delivered

Hello there, I wanted to share my experience with EJ Gift Cards (ejgiftcards.com) and say that I am very disappointed and upset. My husband had a $160 gift card from AutoZone that was given in exchange for store credit. We were in a tough spot financially, with no jobs and a seven-month-old baby to provide for. We needed formula and diapers for our son, so my husband decided to sell the gift card through E&J.

Unfortunately, E&J did not deliver on their promise to deposit the funds into our PayPal account. We were left with a zero balance on both ends, meaning that we did not receive any money for the gift card. We were counting on that money to buy essentials for our baby, and it was devastating to find out that it was taken away from us.

We even tried to cancel the transaction when we found a friend who was willing to purchase items from AutoZone and give us half the value of the gift card ($80), but E&J went ahead and emptied out the entire $160 without giving us any money. They promised us $73 and change for the card, but we received nothing.

I am appalled by their actions and how they are willing to take money from people in need, like thieves. As a result of their dishonesty, we were left with no money for formula and diapers for our baby. It is unacceptable behavior and I would not recommend using their services. Thank you for listening to my story.

EJ Gift Cards My Disappointing Experience with EJ Gift Cards: Beware of Their Payment Process and Customer Service

I recently had an experience with EJ Gift Cards and unfortunately, it was not a positive one. While they offered a lower rate than other sites at the time, I decided to use their service. I uploaded my e-gift card information and was approved for payment. However, throughout the process, I received numerous emails at each step, including the final approval for payout. After a few days, I reached out to their support team to inquire about how long the process would take. To my surprise, they informed me that I needed to import the card information, which was impossible for me to do since I received the codes from an app. I explained this to them, but they insisted that I do it in order to receive payment. This was frustrating, as they had already sent emails indicating that my payment was in the process of being approved.

Their reason for requiring this import was for security purposes, and they claimed that no customers would be able to purchase any gift cards until I uploaded the information. I was shocked and disappointed by this, but I apologized and stated that it was not possible for me to complete the task. At this point, I went back to my notebook where I had originally written down the codes and verified the balance on a website before finding EJ Gift Cards. However, I was stunned to discover that both codes I had written down and verified now showed that they had already been spent. This was extremely concerning, as it seemed that they had already sold my gift cards and taken a profit, since they were still claiming that they could not pay me.

The customer service team at EJ Gift Cards was unhelpful and continued to claim that they could not pay me, even after I pointed out the inconsistencies in their reasoning. I was so frustrated with the entire experience that I decided to file a complaint on a legal website. Almost a full year later, I received a random payment to my PayPal account in the amount that was owed to me. However, there was no indication of who sent it, so it is possible that EJ Gift Cards finally paid me. Nevertheless, after all the trouble I had gone through, I was not satisfied with the amount I received.

In conclusion, my experience with EJ Gift Cards was frustrating and disappointing to say the least. While they might offer lower rates than other sites for gift cards, I would caution others to be careful with their information and payment process. I would not recommend this site based on my experience. If you need more information or would like to see the emails exchanged between me and their customer support team, please let me know.

EJ Gift Cards WARNING: Do NOT Use EJ Gift Cards - Our Experience and How to File Complaints

My wife and I recently had an unpleasant experience with EJ Gift Cards and wanted to share our story with others who may be considering using this company's services. We discovered this review site after being cheated out of over $400 by EJ Gift Cards and wanted to provide a warning to others.

Our experience was unfortunately not unique, as we later discovered by reading reviews from other individuals who had been defrauded by the company. After purchasing a gift card from EJ Gift Cards, we realised that the card had a $0 balance. We attempted to contact the company multiple times through emails and phone calls, but were met with unresponsiveness and false promises of action being taken.

Despite constant assurances that our complaint was being investigated, we were never provided with any follow up information or resolution. We experienced dropped calls and long waiting times, with the company failing to provide any reasonable explanation for this conduct. Even when we were promised that our refund was being processed, we never received the stolen money back into our bank account.

Our experience with EJ Gift Cards was not only financially damaging, but also extremely frustrating and time-consuming. We want other customers to be aware of the risks of purchasing gift cards from this company and to take appropriate steps to protect themselves from falling prey to this fraudulent behaviour.

We encourage anyone who has had a similar experience with EJ Gift Cards to file complaints with the Federal Trade Commission and the complaintsboard.com. We believe that it is important for the authorities to know about the illegal and unscrupulous behaviour of this company, who sells worthless gift cards and then avoids refunding customers' money through a war of attrition. By speaking up and filing complaints together, we can make a difference and hold these types of businesses accountable for their actions.

Filing a complaint is quick and easy. To do so with the Federal Trade Commission, simply search for "FTC Complaint Assistant" and click on the "Internet Services, Online Shopping, or Computers" tab. From there, you can follow the prompts to file a complaint. To file a complaint with the complaintsboard.com, search for "Complaintsboard.com Online Complaint" and hit the tab at the bottom to begin.

In conclusion, we would like to stress that EJ Gift Cards should be avoided at all costs. Their fraudulent behaviour is unacceptable, and we hope that by sharing our experience, we can prevent others from going through the same ordeal.

EJ Gift Cards Below Par Customer Service at EJ Gift Cards - Our Review

I recently had an experience with EJ Gift Cards (ejgiftcards.com) and I have some thoughts about their customer service that I want to share. They reached out to me the morning after I left my initial review and informed me that they had sent out my payment. While I appreciate that they rectified the situation, I believe that good customer service should be extended during the initial interaction as well.

If EJ Gift Cards wants to avoid negative reviews, they need to focus on training their employees to provide excellent customer service. My experience left me feeling as though the company didn't value its customers. They were slow to respond, lacked empathy, and didn't make an effort to resolve my issue when I was in an emergency situation. I believe that this is problematic and could impact the success of their business.

Based on my experience, I will not be doing business with this company again. It's clear that they don't care about their customers and aren't willing to go above and beyond to provide effective solutions. As a pet owner, I was concerned about the potential impact that the delay in payment could have on the health of my beloved dog. If anything had happened to her, I would have been very upset.

In conclusion, EJ Gift Cards needs to change its approach to customer service if they hope to succeed. It's not enough to fix issues after the fact - they need to be proactive in their approach and prioritize the needs of their customers. If they continue down this path, they may find themselves struggling to stay in business.

EJ Gift Cards Buyer Beware: EJ Gift Cards Fails to Deliver on Promised Refund

EJ Gift Cards have left me with a sour taste in my mouth after purchasing a $100.00 Home Depot digital gift card from them on March 27, 2020, for a charge of $90.00. Upon receiving the card via email, I was shocked to find that the balance was $0.00. After contacting the company on March 30, 2020, I was advised to file a claim on their website, which I promptly did. A few days later, I received an email claiming that the card had been cancelled due to fraud, and that I will receive a refund within 14-days. However, 14 days came and went without a refund, so I opened a disputed with my credit card company.

To my surprise, the merchant had accused me of trying to steal a physical card, and had provided false information to my credit card company during the dispute process. However, their claims were a complete fabrication since I had only received a digital card with a $0.00 balance. After providing my credit card company with email proofs acknowledging the issue, and promising a refund, the decision was reversed in my favor.

I contacted the merchant on May 29, 2020, regarding the refund, which still had not been received. They responded, telling me to wait another 14 days with a new refund date of June 12, 2020. However, after waiting for the stipulated time, there was still no refund. I contacted the merchant once again on June 12, 2020, letting them know that I had not received the refund. They assured me that it would be issued in 2 to 3 hours but, as expected, no refund has been issued as of June 15, 2020.

I am deeply disappointed and frustrated with EJ Gift Cards for dragging me along and making me wait so long for a rightful refund of $90.00. I believe that the company should take responsibility for their actions and provide a refund as soon as possible. To anyone reading this review, I would advise you to buy your gift cards from a different company.

EJ Gift Cards Warning: EJ Gift Cards - a Likely Scam by an Unknown Business!

I recently had an experience with EJ Gift Cards (ejgiftcards.com), where I sold two e-gift cards to them about a month ago. The transaction took place on a Wednesday, and I was pleased to see that the transaction was processed and reflected in my account online with them within five minutes! They also sent an email stating that the transaction was processed and advising me not to use the gift cards as the payment was being initiated. However, several days went by and I did not receive the payment. I attempted to contact them via phone and email but did not receive any response from them.

I was worried that my cards were being scammed, and so I used one of them myself. The other one was empty when I checked on it, and I thought that EJ Gift Cards had indeed scammed me! I proceeded to contact them via email, but all they did was send me basic emails stating that they were canceling the transaction because the gift cards were used. Despite my numerous emails, explaining the situation to them, they did not resolve the issue.

After reading similar negative reviews from other customers, I was convinced that EJ Gift Cards was a scam! Worst of all, I discovered that their address is a Holiday Inn hotel room in New York! It was pretty obvious that they were ducking and diving, and that this business was no longer genuine.

However, I also found a solution to this problem. I made a complaint on the complaintsboard.com website and followed up with my State's Attorney General's office. It did work for me in a previous situation where I had been scammed, and I am convinced that it would work for EJ Gift Cards.

I urge you to take action and ensure that scam artists like EJ Gift Cards do not walk free. They need to be indicted and face the consequences of their fraudulent activities. Do not give up on the fight, and always make complaints to the right people. It might feel like a long process, but it is worth it to prevent others from being scammed. Good luck!

EJ Gift Cards Unacceptable Delay & Decreased Value: My Frustrating Experience with EJ Gift Cards

Recently, I had an experience with EJ Gift Cards (ejgiftcards.com) that left me feeling incredibly frustrated and disappointed. While I had purchased gift cards from them in the past with no issues, this time I encountered a problem with one of the cards I had ordered. When I went to use it, it wouldn't work, so I went ahead and filled a claim in order to get a refund.

I submitted my claim on 8/12/2020, and to my relief, it was approved just a few days later on 8/15/20. However, despite the fact that the refund had been approved, the company waited a full 20 days before issuing my refund. I kept in contact with them during this time, asking where my refund was, and was given some vague response about technical issues. This was frustrating in and of itself, but what made it even worse was that the value of Bitcoin (which I'd used to pay for the gift card) was steadily increasing during that entire 20 day waiting period, with its value sitting above $11k for the entire duration.

It wasn't until the 21st day that they finally issued me my refund--and coincidentally, that was the day that the value of Bitcoin suddenly dropped to less than $10k, which meant that I got far less money back than I had originally paid. I had paid $80 in Bitcoin for a $100 gift card, but when they finally refunded me, the amount was only worth $74 due to the drop in Bitcoin's value. This led me to believe that they had waited to see if they could save money before issuing my refund, which left me feeling incredibly frustrated and upset.

All in all, my experience with EJ Gift Cards was incredibly disappointing, and I no longer feel comfortable using their services. It is my hope that they will take a more honest and transparent approach to customer service in the future, so that others don't have to go through the same frustrations that I did.

EJ Gift Cards Beware of EJ Gift Cards' Website: My Experience with a Bitcoin Scam

Hello there, reader. I wanted to share my experience with you regarding EJ Gift Cards' website, Ejgiftcards.com. Unfortunately, I had a negative experience that I strongly advise others to avoid.

I made the mistake of purchasing two $10 gift cards using Bitcoin through Coinbase Commerce. I received a transaction ID - https://commerce.coinbase.com/receipts/LYKVBK3E - that stated my transaction was completed and that EJ Gift Cards had received my payment. However, despite my payment going through, I never received any confirmation or order number for my gift cards. It became apparent that I was a victim of a scam.

I attempted to contact EJ Gift Cards via phone and email, but to no avail. The phone number was invalid, and there was no response to my email. Feeling frustrated and deceived, I knew I had to take action. I reported the fraudulent activity to Coinbase and the Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3). They required me to submit some information, and I hope that they will take the necessary measures to prevent others from being scammed in the future.

As a warning to others considering purchasing gift cards or any item that requires payment methods via cryptocurrency, please be cautious. I have learned the hard way that it is unwise to trust any website, company, or person that only accepts digital currency without any buyer protection. Do not make the same mistake that I did.

EJ Gift Cards Mixed Reviews for EJ Gift Cards: Buyer Beware!

EJ Gift Cards, an online platform that allows users to buy and sell their unwanted gift cards, has been the subject of mixed reviews. As a buyer, some users have reported that after purchasing a gift card, they received a $0 balance, and when disputing the transaction with their credit card company, EJ Gift Cards claimed that the gift card had already been sent and refused to issue a refund, even after agreeing to do so in writing.

On the other hand, as a seller, some have reported that once they provided their gift card information to EJ Gift Cards, the company immediately spent the value of the gift card and then refused to issue payment to their PayPal account, again, even after agreeing to it in writing.

It's important to note that some reviews on EJ Gift Card's website have raised red flags as well. Several reviews with 5-star ratings have left users skeptical, as they appear to have been written by the owner of the company. These reviews have short titles such as "Easy Money", "Simply Professional", "Pretty Good", and "Good Job".

Overall, it seems that there have been some issues with EJ Gift Cards in terms of both buying and selling gift cards. It's always a good idea to do your research and read reviews from multiple sources to ensure that you're making a safe and informed purchase. If you do run into any issues, filing a complaint with the IC3 or another relevant authority may be a good next step.

EJ Gift Cards Avoid EJ Gift Cards: A Fraudulent Experience with Terrible Customer Service and Lack of Professionalism

My experience with EJ Gift Cards was a total disaster. I purchased a gift card from them and although they charged me for it, I did not receive a receipt either via email or on my profile page. As a result, I was immensely disappointed and frustrated because I had thought this website was trustworthy and I had accessed it through a reputable discount gift card site.

Instantly, I decided to contact their customer service with the issue but surprisingly, I did not get any response from them. This really did not sit well with me and I was forced to take the extreme step of cancelling my credit card and disputing the charge. It was such an unpleasant experience and I felt scammed by these people who are supposed to be offering a legitimate service.

As a result of my disappointment, I felt outraged and reported them to the complaintsboard.com and FBI-Internet Fraud for carrying out fraudulent activities. I think such people who perpetrate such actions should be held accountable for their actions because it is disheartening and shows a lack of integrity.

What is even more shocking is the fact that they advertise the "TrustPilot" site on their webpage, which casts suspicion on all the positive reviews they claim to have received. One can only wonder if they're being authored by people affiliated with the company, to give the impression of legitimacy.

Also, a red flag was raised when I noticed a spelling mistake in the error message I received after my order, which highlights a lack of professionalism and credibility that reputable sites should display.

In summary, I would recommend avoiding EJ Gift Cards as they are fraudulent and do not provide good customer service, nor show professionalism in their business approach.

EJ Gift Cards Buyer Beware: EJ Gift Cards May Be Scamming Customers - A Warning and Review

Unfortunately, this customer's experience with EJ Gift Cards (ejgiftcards.com) was not a positive one. Despite a few positive reviews that may have been planted, the majority of the reviews should have been taken into consideration before selling their gift cards to this company.

The customer sold three gift cards to EJ Gift Cards on August 16th, 2019. After entering the card information and accepting their offer, they received an email stating that they would receive payment via PayPal within three days. Unfortunately, when the customer checked the gift card balance, it was at $0 immediately after sending over the information.

Now, it is November 2nd, 2019, and the customer still has not received any payment from EJ Gift Cards. Despite sending frequent emails and making calls every one to two weeks, they have not received a response or a deposit into their PayPal account. The customer feels that they have been taken advantage of and is convinced that this is a scam.

After over two months of waiting, the customer is no longer willing to accept excuses or responses from EJ Gift Cards stating that they are still looking into the issue. They simply want the money that they are owed. It is important to heed this warning and be cautious when working with EJ Gift Cards.

EJ Gift Cards Unpleasant Experience with ejgiftcards.com: Paid $713.92 for $1.06 Saks Fifth Avenue Gift Card

I recently decided to try out ejgiftcards.com to purchase a Saks Fifth Avenue e-gift card with a balance of $900.00. I was thrilled to see that there was a discount available for my order, and I ended up paying only $713.92. My purchase was made on November 16th, 2018.
However, things took a very unpleasant turn when I attempted to use the gift card on the Saks Fifth Avenue online store, only to find that the gift card balance was showing as only $1.06 at the "place order" page. I was naturally alarmed and called up Saks Fifth Avenue to get to the bottom of things. To my utter dismay, I came to know that my gift card had a last purchase record that dated back to December 28th, 2016, and that the balance on the card had been just $1.06 since then. This was very different from what I was expecting, considering I had only recently purchased the card.
I was extremely disappointed and frustrated at having paid $713.92 for a gift card with a balance of $1.06. To add further to my woes, when I tried to contact the customer service team at ejgiftcards.com, I didn't receive any luck in filing a claim or receiving any form of compensation.
My experience with ejgiftcards.com was overwhelmingly negative, and I would advise anyone considering purchasing from this site to think twice before making their decision. It's extremely disheartening to have a negative purchasing experience, particularly when you're expecting something of high value.

EJ Gift Cards Mixed Feelings About EJ Gift Cards' Checkout Process

I recently had the opportunity to try EJ Gift Cards, a website that allows you to buy and sell gift cards. Overall, I have mixed feelings about my experience. While I found their selection of gift cards to be quite extensive, the checkout process was a bit frustrating for me.

I first attempted to complete my order using my cell phone. However, I ran into some issues and was not able to complete my purchase. After a few failed attempts, I decided to switch to my laptop and was finally able to make a purchase. I selected my gift cards, went to checkout, provided all requested information and submitted my order. However, I was then prompted to set up an account, which I found slightly inconvenient.

After logging in and going through the entire process again, I reached the point for submitting my order, at which time a message requested that more information be provided as indicated below. Unfortunately, there was nothing to provide and no further link was provided. I repeated this entire process two more times without success, leaving me feeling a bit discouraged about the entire experience.

Despite these challenges, I eventually gave up and switched to my laptop to complete a new order. Thankfully, this time everything went smoothly and my order was processed without any issues. However, when I went to look at my gift cards, I was a bit surprised to see that the page listed all the cards I had selected to purchase on my phone along with the cards I managed to order. This left me feeling a bit confused and wondering if there was perhaps an issue with the website's tracking system.

Overall, while I appreciate the selection of gift cards available on EJ Gift Cards, I feel that there is room for improvement when it comes to their checkout process. Had I been using my cell phone to purchase a gift card for a time-sensitive occasion, I could have easily missed my opportunity to do so. I hope that the website's team will take this feedback into consideration and work to improve the user experience going forward.

EJ Gift Cards Mixed Feelings: My Experience with EJ Gift Cards as an Online Gift Card Retailer

I recently had an experience with EJ Gift Cards, an online gift card retailer that sells cards from a variety of popular merchants such as Amazon, Target, and Starbucks. Overall, I have mixed feelings about this site and wanted to share my thoughts with others who may be considering using their service.

On one hand, I have purchased numerous gift cards from EJ Gift Cards and have had success redeeming them without any problems. However, I have also encountered several instances where the gift cards I received were reported as already used, leaving me with a feeling of frustration and disappointment.

Thankfully, their customer service team was helpful and responsive in assisting me. They were quick to reissue cards until I received one that worked, though it did take some back-and-forth to finally resolve the issue.

One downside I've noticed is that the replacement card they send you may not even work, which further compounds the issue. This can be frustrating and time consuming, especially if you don't have a lot of free time to spend dealing with customer service.

Another issue I have with EJ Gift Cards is that they only accept payment via Zelle, a mobile payment app that is not as universal as credit cards. This means that if you do have a problem with a gift card purchase and need to contest the transaction, it may be more difficult to do so compared to if you used a credit card.

All of that said, I plan to continue using EJ Gift Cards for smaller purchases or gifts where the risk isn't too great. I would hesitate, however, to purchase high-value gift cards from their site in the future. Ultimately, this is a convenient option for those looking to buy discounted gift cards, but be prepared to potentially deal with some complications along the way.

EJ Gift Cards Unfortunate Experience with EJ Gift Cards: $0 Balance on Gift Card, Delayed Resolutions, and Unfair Charges

I recently had an unfortunate experience with EJ Gift Cards (ejgiftcards.com) that left me very dissatisfied. I purchased a gift card from their site for $202.50, but when I went to use it at Boscov's, there was a $0 balance on it. I immediately contacted the company and had to wait on hold for 45 minutes before finally talking to someone. They informed me that I needed to file a claim, which would take 14-21 days to be resolved.

To my dismay, I received an email stating that the issue would not be resolved until August 25th, and then another email came through today saying it would be resolved on September 22nd. I understand that accidents can happen, but I can't help but wonder how they are selling gift cards with a $0 balance. Do they not check before listing them for purchase on their site? This experience has been both frustrating and disappointing.

To make matters worse, I was charged for two gift cards at $202.50, but they only credited one of them. This means I not only have to wait longer to receive the other credit, but I also have to cover the cost of the original purchase when my credit card payment is due. This is completely unfair to the consumer, and I won't be purchasing from EJ Gift Cards again in the future.

I have had better experiences with other gift card sites like Raise.com, which has never given me any issues. I highly recommend staying away from EJ Gift Cards and being cautious when making purchases through their site. If they don't rectify this situation soon, I may have to reach out to my lawyer. Not only will they have to refund my payment, but they'll also have to pay my lawyer's fees. Overall, this has been a frustrating experience that I hope others can learn from.

EJ Gift Cards My disappointing experience with EJ Gift Cards: A cautionary tale

I recently had an experience with EJ Gift Cards which left me feeling rather disappointed. In November 2018, I decided to purchase a Lowe's gift card from their website for $734, a great discount from the original $864 cost. Initially, I had no issues receiving the gift card via email, as I had with previous purchases from this company. However, upon attempting to use the card on Lowe's website, I was informed that it had a zero balance.

Being familiar with EJ Gift Cards and their seemingly reliable service, I was surprised and frustrated by this unexpected outcome. I proceeded to submit a claim for the gift card and waited two weeks before calling to follow up. During this call, I was informed that the company was waiting for a response from Lowe's before proceeding with the claim.

Just when I thought things were moving forward, I received an email revealing that the gift card in question had already been used a year prior. Naturally, I was skeptical of this claim and felt as though I had been misled. However, the email in question did promise a full refund within 14-21 days. I waited patiently, but after the time had passed, I tried numerous times to follow up with the company via phone and email, with no reply or success.

Eventually, I decided to contact my credit card company to resolve the issue. In retrospect, I would advise anyone considering EJ Gift Cards to proceed with caution. While I have had good experiences with this company in the past, this particular situation was frustrating and disappointing, with overall questionable business ethics.

May 19 2023 I sold a $20 gift card for $12.50 and never received payment. After numerous attempts to receive payment nothing. Via email I was consistently told I'd receive payment and never did. I hope someone can help me. I hope this doesn't happen to anyone else.
