GiftRocket is a SCAM
January 24, 2025

Purchased a gift card through GiftRocket for my daughter for Christmas to the Arkansas Music Pavilion. She tried to use it today to buy tickets and we were told by the AMP that GiftRocket is NOT legitimate and is a SCAM. They have had several customers experience the same thing. Now I am out $200 and she cannot go to her concert. I want my money refunded and these people investigated.

DO NOT USE
February 19, 2024

Horrible! Will take your money and then cancel you transaction without giving you a reason why! When you ask them they will tell you they "can't tell you"! They are not a Legit company and their site should be shut down! I got confirmation that the card was delivered but they cancelled it 2 days later!

Hi Melissa,

Apologies for the frustrating experience with GiftRocket.

As Marianie confirmed in the email you received, your gift was canceled by our security team. GiftRocket is unable to share details of why this gift was canceled due to legal regulations we must comply with. While we're sorry we can't offer more information, I hope this helps clarify the situation. Please don't hesitate to reach out to our support team directly with any questions.

First time I've come across Gift Rocket. What a great way to send and receive gifts. They provide many gift card options for various vendors and recipients can transfer funds to Venmo. More importantly, their customer service agents were very helpful and responsive when I had a question about their services.

GiftRacket
August 29, 2023

I ordered a gift certificate, $500 at Johnny Costa's in Palm Springs for someone who had done a wonderful favor for us during the recent storm (we live away during the summer months)
They delivered it by email, we got a thank from the recipient, and the next day Gift Racket cancelled it! How embarassing and ridiculous.
They said because of security, they couldn't tell me why. Believe me, the credit cards are good for it. Or if there was some question about it, they should have called or written to me.

I will NEVER use this company. Ck them out, they only publicize the positive reviews.

Wonderful Gift
May 6, 2024

I receive a gift from GiftRocket and it was such a true delight. I was able to use it at one of my favorite restaurants, but could have used it anywhere. The transition of funds was easy and quick. I will use this as a way to give gifts in the future!

Best Gift Ever!
February 8, 2024
Updated review

I received a rocket gift card from my mother in law. I opted to use it at Kimberleys day spa. It was super easy to activate. I don't know why people use pre paid visa and Mastercard gift cards. I'm a customer for life.

I received a gift card from gift rocket. It was amazing, you can use them all over town or cash them out. It's so easy, everyone should use the instead of Visa or Master Card. I'm a huge fan.

Easy & Quick
September 1, 2023

I was given a GiftRocket certificate to use at a local business, choose one of the many affiliated gift cards or receive credit through PayPal or Venmo. I chose the credit to go in our Venmo account to use the money for an upcoming getaway. It was quite straightforward and easy to navigate and use. Everything was seamless. I'd highly recommend to others.

This option has been great, they offer different alternatives to the recipient to enjoy a gift, easy, hassle free and satisfaction guarantee, as the recipient can choose what please them the most, adding comfort to the parties involved and enhancing the enjoyment of the token given to the person.

Gift Card Options...
October 7, 2023

As a first time receiver of a GiftRocket gift card, I was pleasantly surprised at the many retailers associated with GiftRocket including direct cash into my bank account via Venmo. Once I decided on the vendor to redeem my gift with - presto an email confirmation was received and I was on my way shopping. I liked the virtual thank you card option. What a nice way to give a gift of shopping options

I received a gift from friends on gift rocket and went in to view my gift and it was very easy to see and use the website. I didn't use my gift for a long while but I went back to it a year later and it was still there and I was able to get the gift loaded to my bank account as cash! Website was very user friendly! Thank you

My $100.00 gift was sent to the wrong paypal address. When you call customer service all you get is an ad for a medical device! No option to talk with someone. IT IS RIDICULOUS! I want my money!

We recently purchased 6, $50 gift certificates to a local restaurant for family members. When they went to redeem their gifts, they were asked to provide their bank account information - which, of course, they did not feel comfortable doing. In addition, we paid $4.50 EXTRA for each certificate. Bottom line, it was embarrassing for us and didn't work out for them.

Dear Kelly,

Apologies for the poor experience with GiftRocket. All GiftRocket gifts are redeemed online, not at the suggested business. The recipient can choose from one of our available gift cards or transfer the funds to their bank account. Suggesting a business helps personalize the gift, but the recipient ultimately spends it as they wish.

If your family members would like help selecting a gift card instead of a bank transfer, please reach out to support@giftrocket.com and we'd be happy to provide detailed instructions.

BEWARE!
December 28, 2022

I ordered two gift certificates GiftRocket. They charged my credit card immediately but never sent me the certificates. I tried contacting them by email and by telephone. No response. I now have to go through the process of cancelling their credit card charges.
GiftRocket is either a scam or a very poorly run company. In either case, the chances of you getting what you paid for, are slim.
BEWARE!

Total scam.
December 20, 2020

I own a restaurant and never sell our giftcard or certificate on any website. Giftrocket didn't contact or sign any endorsement With us but still charge customers. This is unacceptable! Not only left customers with confusion and awkwardness And make the merchant really hard to explain. Gift card said Not valid for store credit, only redeem online. This is so lame and fake!

Perfect Find for Gift Giving
August 19, 2022

Gift Rocket is the perfect way to send someone a giftcard and letting them choose how they want to spend it. The card itself can be personalized. The choices for gifts can be for restaurants, retailers or simply deposited directly into their bank accounts. What a great idea!

GiftRocket Makes it Easy!
October 20, 2022

I recently received a financial gift from a friend via GiftRocket. Honestly, I had never heard of them and was a teensy bit suspicious. However, they made it so easy. I just clicked a button or two and confirmed how I wanted to receive my gift and the money was delivered into my account in the time frame promised. I also love that you have the option of selecting gift cards instead of a cash transfer.

GiftRocket Rocks!
April 23, 2022

My hubby and I were traveling through rural Mississippi when we realized we'd forgotten a very special family occasion occurring that same day. We needed a last-minute gift that could be delivered ASAP. After a search on my phone, I landed on GiftRocket's site. To our delight, we were able to purchase an online gift card to a favorite restaurant. GiftRocket totally saved the day for us!

OK... probably best for the US only
April 7, 2021

I am always on the look out for ways to share gifts and rewards other than Amazon gift cards and was hoping this would work for people in Costa Rica. Turns out, they can only link the gift to an Amazon gift card. Which has no processing fees. Unlike GiftRocket.

My sister is a minimalist and is hard to buy for. I didn't want to give her cash or something she wouldn't want. This made it so easy. She had so many places she could use the egift card at. She also was sent an ebirthday card. She had something picked out they were ready to order when it was sent to her. She was thrilled. This is the best kept secret. I will use it again.

POOR CUSTOMER SERVICE
October 4, 2023

After ordering, confirming and receiving a thank you email from the recipient, we both got emails telling us the order was cancelled. The only explanation was lame, due to security reasons, they cannot disclose why it was cancelled. How embarrassing for me! The email communications felt like an automated system event though it said it was a live person. The responses never answered my questions directly, it felt automated. Now, I have to wait 10 days tos ee if the refund will even be processed! This has scam written all over it! Stay away from this company!
