Identity hogs
What rubbish. I buy discounted gift cards for myself all the time. This process doesn’t allow for this and assumes that it’s a present.
The gift cards from this mob aren’t traditional gift cards. The recipient must create a Special account to activate it. I always buy discounted Woolworths cards and bought one from here due to a partner offer. The ‘card’ that I received wasn’t a typical card that I can add to my Woolworths app, it came with two methods of spending; a credit card number/expiry/CCV for online or Apple/Google wallet WHICH CAN ONLY BE ADDED VIA THEIR APP!!
They don’t need to do it this way they just want to so the recipient has to hand over their personal information and install their app.
App will be uninstalled soon and account deleted.
AVOID!
Need to sign in every time
Good app but constantly need to sign in. Also the error message you get when resetting your password is wrong. My password wasn’t strong enough but it says my SMS authentication code was wrong instead. Very confusing.
I want a feature to remove the card from app
Currently the app can’t do it
App instantly crashes
Logged me out, trying to login to verify the balance of my gift card, now the app crashes straight away after opening, I have even tried uninstalling and reinstalling the app.
Sign in
Needing always to sign in. Biometrics / Face ID never work so not sure why there is even an option to enable this
Difficult to use
The gift cards aren’t proper gift cards: they are like credit cards locked to a store.
You also need to download app and jump through a lot of hoops to get your card. Wouldn’t recommend
Absurd.
The gift cards issued are not standard, they’re only meant to be used by someone with a smartphone, this app and active Apple or Google pay.
Plus, the amount of steps needed (including having to download this app) to just buy and claim a gift card are insane and seem unnecessary when I can complete the same process with other retailers in a 1/4 of the time.
Might be worth to check out Prezzee to see if they have the card you’re looking for.
Bad experience
Had a really bad experience with this app and company. My partner bought us a Woolworths gift card with a special promotion and it has been the worst experience to use it. (I've had many WW gift cards before but this one through Special Gift Cards was horrible) It comes as a credit card which is almost impossible to use at Woolworths online (vs a gift voucher) - you need to use the EXACT amount or LESS - then you have a balance you need to use EXACTLY or you'll always have a balance - WW online you can't choose the value to charge to a card The App is shocking - it keeps logging out. You are looking at the screen to get the details then your phone auto locks and you need to login again. Why do this? And to make matters worse, when you think you've used all but a few cents on the card (do an order online with WW then add to it the same value as the card has left / to use the remaining few dollars) - then when something is out of stock WW will refund to the Special Credit Card and the horrible cycle will begin again!
Scam?
Got Amex offer to get cash back if used this company to buy gift cards. Had to sign up with data including email, phone etc. multiple tries at buying with Amex card ( to get cash back offer) declined regardless of whether used Apple Pay or typed details in. No way to close account and request data is deleted which is very concerning. Wish I’d read some of the previous reviews here first and never signed up. Have advised Amex to withdraw their association with this company, as this does their own brand no favours. Do not appear to have been billed for the failed attempts to buy gift cards but will monitor carefully. My advice - avoid !
App
Don’t make me download an app to use the gift card Thanks
