Hello Nick Plater, 

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. I’m genuinely sorry to hear that you’ve become a victim of fraud. It’s an awful experience, and I completely understand how distressing it must be.

After looking into the matter, I can confirm that fraudulent activity almost always involves digital gift cards, which are typically redeemed straightaway. I’ve traced the orders linked to your case and attempted to devalue the gift cards, but unfortunately they were already spent. Because of this, the orders can’t be cancelled and the payments can’t be refunded.

The best next step is to contact your bank without delay so they can block your card and guide you further. I also strongly recommend filing a report with Report Fraud at https://www.reportfraud.police.uk/.

If you have any other questions or worries, please reach out to us directly at support@giftcard.co.uk. We’re here to help however we can.

With kind regards,
Lila - Team Giftcard.co.uk

Hello J O' Callaghan,

Thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback. I’m sorry to hear your experience was not as it should be, and I appreciate how frustrating that must feel.

We’re a reseller of various digital gift cards, and our role is to make sure your Las Iguanas Gift Card is generated, activated, and successfully sent. Once those steps are complete, the card should be ready for use. We don’t have access to the retailer’s internal systems, so we can’t see anything beyond those activation details or intervene directly in their tills or redemption systems.

Just to clarify for anyone reading: the Las Iguanas Gift Card is accepted at all Las Iguanas restaurants across the UK, and it’s valid for in‑restaurant dining and drinks only.

If your card shows as activated on our side but still isn’t working at the restaurant, please reach out to their customer support directly https://www.iguanas.co.uk/contact and they will guide you on the next steps. If there's anything else we can do for you, please send our customer service team an email at support@giftcard.co.uk with your order details and we will review it with care.

With kind regards,
Susy - Team Giftcard.co.uk

Too much of a faff

Received a travel gift card as a present. In order to redeem it you have to buy another gift card with it and then redeem that which is a faff. Also you then have to pay an extra £1.75 to buy the 2nd giftcard which can't be taken off your total. You have to pay by googlepay or credit card. You cannot pay it by debit card. Got there in the end but its a lot of messing about.

Hello Deborah Sutcliffe,

Thanks for your review and for sharing your honest feedback. You taking the time to spell out what felt a bit of a palaver is appreciated.

While the redemption flow isn’t everyone’s favourite, many customers are genuinely happy receiving a gift card that gives them the liberty to pick whichever brand suits them best. That flexibility is exactly why the system works the way it does: the original travel card can be swapped for a wide choice of other options, rather than locking you into a single retailer.

The small service fee you mentioned is what allows us, as a reseller, to offer such a broad and comprehensive range of cards and to securely process the underlying transactions. It becomes clearly visible as soon as a gift card is added to the basket, so nothing is hidden. And of course, we also offer dozens of fee‑free cards for customers who prefer a simpler checkout.

I'm glad you managed to redeem your present in the end, though I fully understand it felt like more steps than you expected. If there's anything we can assist with or if you have any further concerns, please feel free to reach out to our team directly at support@giftcard.co.uk.

With kind regards,
Susy - Team Giftcard.co.uk

I do not buy any gift cards

I do not buy any gift cards. This was an absolute scam. This has been reported to my bank. This also has been reported to the police and it also has been reported to yourselves. I request a full refund. I do not buy gift cards of £350 X 3 times in the space of a few seconds and then the gift card has been spent immediately I have been scammed completely and I’m very upset at the moment. If you want to make me feel better please can you offer the refund to my bank or to myself? Kind regards.

Hi Shaun Bajaj, 

Thank you for your feedback. We are so sorry to hear about this distressing situation. We take reports of fraud very seriously and completely understand your frustration.

Because gift cards are processed automatically, and the codes were immediately redeemed, the funds are unfortunately no longer in our system, meaning we cannot issue a direct refund.

Since you have already rightly contacted the police and your bank, please have your bank's fraud department reach out to us directly. We are fully committed to cooperating with them and law enforcement by providing any necessary transaction details to assist in their investigation and help you recover your funds.

If you need any further assistance, please do not hesitate to contact us at support@giftcard.co.uk.

With kind regards,

Customer service was fab!

Initially the voucher didn’t go through, but this was my fault as I’d entered the email address incorrectly. I contacted the help line and they sorted it in no time. I was concerned that as this was my mistake I may have lost the money but I need not worry, the staff were lovely and soon sorted it out.
