This review was chosen algorithmically as the most valued customer feedback.

I received a visa $100.00 gift card from blackhawk network and the card had already been used. I have seen on the complaints page that this has happeded to dozens of people recently. Their 800 phone number does nothing and you can not talk to a live representative which is very suspicious. I filed complaint and have not had any resolution. It is obvious that blackhawk is sending out fraudulent gift cards that have been used and that is theft. I want my money back and blackhawk held accountable for theft by taking. I intend to file complaints everywhere and see that the theft from this company is legally investigated. How can they get away contiuously with stealing and sending out visa cards with no balance?! This is a very sericous issue and a crime!

Desired outcome: REFUND MY 100.00 YOU STOLE ASAP

Same thing happened to me. $ 250.00 stolen from JOKER VISA from the retailer:

VNLA SPCL A

Blackhawk wants receipt - from a GIFT CARD! not reasonable request.

Blackhawk stated it was past 60 days since transaction - how in the heck are you supposed to know when someone stole the money from a card?

Clearly the retailer VNLA SPCL A is fraudulently stealing people's money, and it seems obvious that Blackhawk has received enough complaints that they know about the security issue. The fact that they add unreasonable requirements to resolve the dispute when clearly Blackhawk is aware of the theft means they are complicit.

I purchased a $100 gift card from my local Publix in Alabama this evening 7/25/23 and when I tried to use it on a purchase 10 minutes later at a nearby store it was declined. I went to check the balance and had the exact same charge on it but for $100 leaving the balance $0. I called immediately to file a claim and was given a confirmation code but it did not seem promising just that I would get an email within’ 10 days. I now have very little hopes of ever getting this money back.
