This business sells xbox gift cards, but you don't get a giftcard. They want you to link your bank account so they can pay you back at a later date. This is the most ridiculous purchase I have ever had trouble with. I want a refund and have sent them emails with them wanting me to jump threw hoops. They said I didn't respond but sent them a screenshot of my reply email.Business response

How embarrassing is it to have this card declined for my dinner with family and then have to pay out of pocket. The registration process is ridiculous to begin with and to get declined when I know the balance. Checked my balance before dinner and went to pay and got declined for ***** and tried other amounts, all declined. How embarrassing. I just want a refund for the balance and be done with this service. To top it off, it's a giftly card but it says to contact perfectgift.com on the card. Not sure if they are same company or just work together. So complaint filed for both.Business response

Thank you for reaching out *******, and we apologize that you are having an issue with your card. We have reached out to you directly to request for some additional information to look into your issue and to assist.
If the card was used at a restaurant then the likely decline was due to a pre-auth applied by the merchant. This should be communicated on the carrier on which the card is attached and is very common for most gift card programs.
This article may assist with additional details so you can avoid any transaction declines in the future. Apologies for any inconvenience!***********************************************************************************************************;

I received a gift card from a colleague as a celebratory gift for my fathers cancer treatments. I went to access the card, followed all of the instructions on the email, and have been unable to access it since my receipt of it on 09/25/2024. I have tried calling their support numerous times and have been both disconnected and hung up on. I have tried to chat with their chat box and also have received the same canned response. I just want to get my father his gift card. It was for Subway and for a total of $50. Please help me resolve this. It's so unethical.Business response

We found ONLY 4 orders in total associated with these two emails: ******************************** & ********************************
The order numbers are as follows:

This order was canceled for security and compliance reasons. IT was refunded on May 31st of 2024. You can provide your bank with this Acquirer Reference Number (ARN) ***********************. they can look this number up in their system to track and confirm it was refunded to your card.
20231202-663539: This was submitted on December 2nd of 2023 and was for a gift total amount of $255.95. The last 4 digits of the payment card were also 4027.

On 9/4/24, I ordered a $200 Amazon Gift Card through perfectgift.com to be sent digitally to a recipient. Orders are supposed to be sent via email within 15 minutes, with a follow up email to the buyer stating when the digital gift is claimed. I never received a "claim" notification. I followed up on the website and chose the option to resend. No luck. On 9/18/24, I finally contacted the recipient and resent through a different email. Again, the recipient never received. Consequently, requested a representative contact me through perfectgift.com's chatbot -- promising a callback or email within 15 minutes. No luck. I called the 24/7 helpline. After waiting 6.5 minutes I was disconnected. I called back. Again, after 6.5 minutes I was disconnected. I am feeling SCAMMED.Business response

Hi *****,
Thank you for this review and we are very sorry that you and your recipient are experiencing those issues. I see that we attempted to call you back last night approximately 30 minutes after you submitted a support ticket. However, we were routed to your VM. We have also followed up with an email to which you replied. Your gift was delivered successfully via email message to your recipient. Please advise the recipient to check their spam/junk folders for the redemption email from hello@send.perfectgift.com? The last email we sent was Sep 18, 2024 8:50 pm EST. If they still are not seeing it, feel free to reply to the customer support email again and we will promptly reach back out to assist you in any way we can.Initial Complaint

My dad purchased a one hundred dollar gift card that was supposed to be an e.Gift. All options only gave ability to process purchasing a gift from some store. It was meant to be a visa.Or a mastercard, it was not meant to be for a store specific. It's just been going on for over a day.He wants his money back.It's a hundred dollars I would never purchase from them again. This cost him one hundred dollars plus a fee.I don't know.It was around $2.99 I believe you'd need to ask him.Business response

I purchased a virtual gift card on 5/16/24 for my nephew. I was not aware that he would not be able to use it in store and only able to use for online purchases. I immediately tried contacting perfect.com, however never able to reach a human. I also wrote via chat that if the virtual card can not be used in store I would either like a refund or for them to send a physical card to my nephew. Several requests were put in advising a team member would be contact me within minutes. I have never heard from any support representative and was only ever able to speak with the BOT. The gift card I purchased has never been used as I needed to go with another vendor to get the type of card that would be useful for my nephew. It has been almost a month with still no contact from perfectgift.com. I would like to receive a full refund as I tried to contact this company numerous times with no resolve.Business response

I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID ********, and have determined that this does not resolve my complaint. For your reference, details of the offer I reviewed appear below.
The consumer is stating I did not reach out until 5/25, that is in correct as you can see in the screenshot I provided I reached out to them the same day within less than an hour of my purchase. I also tried calling but you are unable to speak with a live person when calling. They are advising they reached out to me and did not get a response. I do not have any email correspondence with them regarding this issue other than a support ticket was submitted several times and they are saying they contacted me however I have never received a phone call and/or voicemail from this company. I believe it is completely wrong that they are stating incorrect information as I said earlier I tried reaching out to the consumer less than an hour after the purchase. I should be issued a refund as they never contacted me like they stated
