CardCash - Discount Gift Cards Reviews

by SaturdayMorninBall

I really enjoyed using this app until my last transaction. I had previously used the this app service buying GC of Starbucks, Kohl’s, Target, Coffee Bean on several occasion at the end of last year and beginning of this year but my last transaction for a GC for Target my account was flagged all of a sudden as a “High Risk” and my transaction was cancelled. Called the CS line and they basically said nothing they could do, tried again next day and same thing happened. Nothing changed on my account used same payment method.

Was a great app, would love to use again but it appears they no longer want my business.

Tried using my both credit card and PayPal for purchasing, and they charged me when attempting to purchase cards and then instantly send me an email that states the order is cancelled because of high risk of fraud. I’ve written several emails to them and have only gotten generic replies that don’t address my issue whatsoever and one sarcastic reply saying maybe I wasn’t destined to use the card, seriously. I’ve tried calling them during business hours several times, and it’s always just a recording saying I’ve reached them out of hours. Don’t waste your time like I have, and don’t give these scammers your personal details and credit card info.

I “sold” a $50 gift card to this company, I received the -$1 on my card for confirmation and they said the money would be paid to my PayPal 24-48 hours later. It’s been 5+ days and no signs of any deposits. I would contact support but it seems they’ll likely tell me I’m wrong and there’s nothing more they can prove. And with the overwhelming amount of fraud and scam reviews under CardCash I should have known. They probably drained the card and are refusing to pay out. Not worth handing out private info.
CardCash needs to be taken off of CardCash Store ASAP.

I downloaded CardCash as an alternative to Raise since they don’t always have my favorite $5 Starbucks gift cards. I placed two orders - the first showed me a confirmation screen on CardCash , but I received nothing about it in my email. The second confirmed its purchase in my email, but I got another email from the company a minute or two later telling me that my purchase was “fraudulent.” Don’t charge me twice and tell me that *I* am the one committing fraud here. I’ll be sticking with Raise from here on out. Save yourself the money and headache and stay away from this app.

I’ve purchased many gift cards at many different sites (eBay, Cardpool, Raise, giftcard granny, etc) as it’s a great way to save some money. I’ve never had any issue at any of them EXCEPT with this app. After inputting my credit card info and personal data, they send a bizarre email cancelling the transaction saying only “high risk.” What??? There’s no issue with my credit card, yet no explanation is given and there’s no way to get one from this app as customer service is terrible. I tried using this service a second time after several months had passed telling myself that the first try must have been a fluke —-it wasn’t. Same exact experience. Good riddance this app. I’ll take my business elsewhere and urge others to do the same. I’ve never encountered such a bizarre online business and wonder how long they’ll be around. (I’m not the only one this has happened to - check out the other bad reviews - there are lots of them).

I attempted to buy my first gift card from CardCash and after being charged got an email saying it was “high risk” yet they charged me anyway. If it’s high risk don’t sell the gift card in the first place or even better don’t charge people and then they have to wait a week to get there money back. CardCash is a joke and there are better apps doing this out there. I just got robbed my entire paycheck. Yes I’ll get it back eventually but I was buying the gift card for something I had to order within the next 48 hours. So refunding me a week later doesn’t help! Do your research and use trusted apps people!

Recent upgrades to UI and card delivery services are impressive. Now I can get the card with in seconds instead of waiting for minutes. It would be better if there’s an option to sort by % and other filters which exists in desktop version. Another key feature missing in CardCash is notification, I should have an option to get the notification when certain card is at certain %.

I’ve been using all those apps to buy gift cards for the last 6 years. This has been my go to app for more than a while as its turnaround time is quite short. Have never till date been scammed. Hopefully my experience continues. It’s worth a try if not yet tried

by Bea9800

I just got CardCash and I like it a lot. I had a few issues when I started using it but customer service got back to me immediately and helped me. I like that it’s an all in one I can sell my unwanted gift cards and also buy gift cards to give as a gift. I would definitely recommend CardCash to friends and family.

It’s one of my favorite apps now! I love saving money by purchasing discount cards for things I’m going to buy anyway. The ap has improved tremendously over the years and I’ll keep checking in whenever I need a gift card. I’ve never had a problem that wasn’t resolved quickly. E-cards are delivered almost immediately, and plastic gift cards are shipped in a very timely manner. Definitely a fan of this app!

When you’re a student every dollar counts. I use CardCash to buy gift cards to help me pay for food, clothes for work, and gifts for the holidays. I have saved so much already and it’s so simple taking about 5 minutes to save money. Some of my friends are skeptic about buying used gift cards, but the card cash team is amazing and offers a price guarantee where you really cannot lose money.

I’ve been using this app quite a while and could not be happier!
When I complete my shopping online at a particular store... I attach my store coupons then check this app to see if there’s a giftcard available near my purchase amount. Most of the time there is. So I purchase the card (for less than the card value of course) and use it to buy my online store items. By doing this I save even more! I do the same thing when shopping in person at my favorite stores! The new this app app is easy to navigate and enjoyable to use. I also like that customer service is only a call away if you have any questions or problems.
I also like getting this app emails which alert you of extra good deals! I jump on it right away!
If you like to get extra savings off your purchases download the this app app! You’ll be glad that you did!

Usually I decide to buy discount gift cards at the moment I decide to go shopping so the fact that these cards arrive in my inbox within 24 hrs (and a lot of times within the hour) is super convenient. Haven’t had a problem with the gift cards amount thus far, even after the 45 day protection period. I would love to see deeper discounts on “every day” gift cards (grocery stores, gas, etc.), even if it’s just 3% off (currently discounts can below 1%).

by Alicia :)

I used CardCash while I’m on the go and I can quickly check for any gift cards while I’m already in the store ready to buy! This makes it super convenient because the card delivery occurs in less than 5 minutes.

Additionally, I love the front page UI that is simple to navigate and easy to search. The only thing I’d want to see change is being able to delete gift cards I’ve already used so it doesn’t show up in my cards left to use.

I am a user who uses this app App very often. I usually buy target gift cards before I go shopping. and as soon as you make a purchase, the gift card arrives by email. After they upgraded their services, a gift card that I purchase arrived super fast with in seconds. The function of CardCash is to buy a gift card, which is so simple that it is designed to make my purchase very convenient. I saved a lot of money through CardCash. If you are a gift card buyer, I recommend you use CardCash.

I sold several gift cards (various vendors and amounts); the total was $196 and I received $157. Turn around was fast - I uploaded the gift card information on Tuesday morning and received the $158 in my PayPal account less than 48 hours later; an e-mail confirmation was sent somewhere in between that my gift cards had been “processed” and accepted.

I was totally skeptical but this could not have worked out better! Would definitely recommend to anyone with unwanted gift cards taking up room in their wallet!

We have used this app for several years, but for some reason never thought to check if they had an app until recently. Since downloading CardCash , we have used it way more than we were before (not for extra purchases, but for purchases we were already going to make anyway).

CardCash is extremely intuitive and easy to use. The gift card purchases come through almost instantly. We frequently buy them in stores right before heading to check out (once we know approximately how much we will be spending).

Highly recommend!

I have been using this app for roughly one year. I think the service of selling discounted gift cards is extraordinary for people in need. I often buy things for my family, but am also a strong supporter of various schools and churches. I try my best to get discounts everywhere I go and this app facilitates that process for me.

I started using the this app app on my iPhone 7 plus roughly two months ago. As a general rule, I do not like apps and use as few as possible. In this case, I chose to download and use the this app app out of pure convenience.

I noticed that I would often be on the road running errands and then I would have unexpected needs at various stores. I got used to checking this app and became an instant fan of checking on-the-go.

For all the people who say this app is a scam and they are identified as high-risk, please be aware that that designation depends on your credit card policies, not this app. The solution? Switch credit cards and try the transaction again!

Highly recommend this app!!!!

I've only used the this app app to sell gift cards, but I noticed a few things:

1. It was nice to be able to enter multiple gift cards in one transaction and see the total payout adding up. That was something lacking when I used CardPool.

2. When selling e-gift cards I don't understand the need to mail in print outs e-gift cards. All the information has already been entered online. They are by definition electronic and this only delays payment and frustrates sellers. If there is some point to this please state that point up front or don't ask for print outs to be mailed in. It defeats the purpose of an e-gift card.

3. I appreciated that once my printed e-gift cards were received and processed (still annoyed by #2 above) that payment from this app was quick and electronic.

To sum up, this app has a more streamlined process to sell e-gift cards, but the process could still be quicker, almost instantaneous even, and if not at least an explanation could be given to users as to why the process has to be so cumbersome so we'll continue to endure it.

I recently just got CardCash and so far it has been easy and a great way to save some money. I have not used it for anything big yet but if I’m about to go to a store or the movies I check for cards and what is nice is that I can instantly use them. It’s easy to search for a store, as you are typing you will see a list of what cards they have and if you see your store you can click on it or if it stops listing stores you know they don’t carry that one.
I do compare CardCash to the others I have such a as Raise, Cardpool, and Cashable but a few times this app has had the best deals. I am really liking CardCash to help me save, I feel that every little bit counts!
