Went to use a $250 gift card, asks for pin. Go to their website to register the card and there is $63 left on it and no option to change or generate a pin number. Call customer service and they need the original receipt when the card was purchased to issue a new one, so the clowns inactivate the card. Now I am out the $250. I will never use them nor their fraudulent gift cards again. Guess the bright side is one of their employees got a free Expedia trip and several pizzas from Pizza Hut for free. Their customer service is absolutely horrendous.

What an excellent business plan - sell gift cards and none of them work. The only expense they are out is the cost of the plastic and printing up the cards, pretty smart. They should be sitting in the jail house! Why are they still in business?

Has anyone ever received any type of replacement or refund from mygiftcardsite.com?

One of the few gift cards that still charge you for not using it. 2$ per month for inactivity. Most cards charge a hefty activation fee, but at least then the money on the card is yours. Not so with these guys. Beware who's behind the card you buy, and boycott these thieves.

Same here. I have a card that had $100 on it. went to a gas station. card doesnt work. check trans history. Trans history shows $99 charged to the card from the gas station i am standing at but it shows this happened AN HOUR AGO. Total rip off and I have sat on hold for 1 entire hour with my phone on speaker. NO ONE ever picked up. Will never use again. Also filing a report with the BBB. Do not assume the shoddy penmanship in this posting is tha of an illiterate bimbo, but rather that of someone who does not care to put the energy into proof reading this post. F/Ck this company. I hope you all rot in a lake of burning fire.

I have the same experience. I swiped my card to get gas. The card was declined. I went to use it later at Walmart, the card said 0 dollars balance. The gas company has no record of the transaction. The account shows $82.99 subtracted from the card. I called, the gift card customer service told me that the money would be put back on the 24th of November...9 days later. I am reporting them to the better business bureau and consumer affairs department. I need my money put back. The stores are selling fraudulent cards.
