    Just went through the Amazon gift card nightmare. Stuck to it and told them it was on their end. Took 30 minutes to finally get a tech to figure out what they were doing wrong.

    The stores won't refund a gift card. The customer service number on gift cards no human is available to talk with since covid. This is a very bad problem

    Careful with employees as one messed up my gift card somehow and I lost $200 when I went to buy an ebay giftcard card at Safeway. ALWAYS take your receipts even the small Littles ones that print along with it

    When I peeled off the strip on the back as instructed on the Amazon card that was gifted to me, part of the code came off with the strip so now I’m missing 2 of the letters. I was told by Amazon that the gifter would have to call them. It’s embarrassing to go back to the gifter and say hey this didn’t work, but I don’t want her to have spent all that $ for nothing. Amazon grrrr!

    The stores hanging on the rack...are not activated. You can steal them or the numbers but they are useless unless the cashier activates the card. If they do that and don't take the cash in...their drawer will be short.

    All4One cards in the Republic of Ireland are ridiculous. It took several attempts along with final session of 40 minutes to get it done. Time will tell when I try to use it in the future if it works. The messages/emails we got tell us it is ready to rock. Things that took less time: two lumps removed from my back, my daily work commute, with one exception all Bank queries, All credit card queries, my air flights to London and Amsterdam, weekly food shop (including Christmas week). Is this level of complexity really necessary? Now, if the law is a problem, legislate - because I'm worth it.
