Givingli - Gifting & Cards App

The kiddos and adults alike love receiving gifts from Givingly! They arrive in your inbox and are easily cashed in for what they have selected. Awesome concept!

I sent a gift card a moment after I sent it the receipt got a notice that the card was no longer available - embarrassing to say the least.

Tried to send a Father’s Day gift card to my dad but the gift card was never delivered even though the app said that it was. When he tried to redeem the card, he couldn’t even login to app to claim it. This was a complete waste of money and I’m glad that I don’t pay for premium.

I will not send the verification code to my phone number even though I have made sure it is correct 12 times.

I tried to make a card for my dad for Father’s Day, so I pressed on Givingli. It loaded forever and once it finished, it made me sign up again! I put in my phone number, and it wouldn’t send me a text!!

Sent out Father’s Day cards but instead of ouus and ahhs, it was a morning of trying to figure out how to get the codes to redeem their gift cards for my dad, stepdad and daughter’s dad. Super frustrating for something that was supposed to be a pleasant surprise. Still waiting to hear back from support…

Not sure what happened but no longer able to see upcoming scheduled cards or saved cards.

There are a lot of tools to work with to create personalized cards — more if you subscribe, but sufficient even for free. If you like being creative, and don’t mind spending the time, then you will like this card app (and might even choose to subscribe, which makes it easier). As for the gifts, they tend to be pretty expensive, and they all come from Amazon, so I rarely send them. I’ve tried a few times, and I think my success rate has been one out of three people I sent gifts to was actually able to access the gift. Even the one success was after I coached her on what she had to do. Twice, I’ve had people go to Amazon, and receive an error message saying that the gift had already been taken. At least in those cases, I was not charged, but that further indicates that the gift was not actually picked up at all. I’m glad they were always close friends!

I always enjoy sending out these cards. They’re so creative and they send great messages. Best purchase I ever made.

I'm writing this review well out of the time frame specified within the app. I had no issue with my recipient receiving the Givingli cash. (Which should be noted, is simply a means to purchase another gift card- not a Visa gift card itself.) But my recipient has been waiting over 5 days! 120 hours which is 96 hours AFTER the initial 24 hour period. It's misleading and disheartening. I wish I didn't utilize the platform, especially with $300+ sitting in limbo. This is not a great representation of your product or integrity. There's no reason this should take this long and there's no reason why within those 5 days I should have less than 2 replies from support with no solution. Extremely disappointed in my experience and at present, I can't recommend this application.
