"" Fraud via Direct TV""
July 28, 2018
Beware!! There is a phone scam going on. You will receive a phone call from DIRECT TV stating that you will receive a very low monthly charge for your Direct TV and internet service if you will pay 4 months in advance with an Amazon gift card ($240). This is a very sophisticated scam. If you ask to think about it and call them back later, you get the AT&T tone and recording just like the real thing. We fell for it so are out $240. AT&T/Direct TV has been of no help and in fact says they have no intention of notifying customers of this potential scam. Amazon fraud was very helpful and in fact tried to back track the gift card, but in the end could not trace the call (probably because of AT&Ts lack of help. Anyway, I thank Amazon for trying. Our big mistake, so remember, paying for a gift card and giving the cash out number to anyone that promises service is a no, no. We feel stupid, so be smart.

Scam: lost $75
December 20, 2017
I bought this egift card as a gift. I received an email saying that it was redeemed by the intended person, but upon further inspection, they had never obtained the money. I tried it two more times with different email address. Once again no luck. I would not recommend this at all I lost $75 asked for a refund and couldn't get one. I was given a $10 promotional credit, but that never appeared in my email.

Had an uncharacteristically unpleasant experience with an Amazon Gift Card over the weekend.
Bought a $300 card for delivery via text. An hour or two later it still showed "Scheduled" for delivery. Contacted customer service, was told Amazon was waiting on my bank to OK the transaction. I went to bed thinking it would be OK'd and delivered overnight. Ten hours after the purchase time, still not delivered. Called my bank, was told Amazon had never requested approval of the transaction. Called Amazon, was told it could be four more hours before it was approved.
I told Amazon to cancel the transaction, they told me it would be done immediately, and I would get a receipt confirming the cancellation.
One hour later, I get notification that the card was delivered. Apparently the transaction was not cancelled as promised. I had been in the process of purchasing a different gift when the delivery notice came in, so I was lucky it came through when it did.
The lesson here? Let the buyer beware. Amazon's promise of "five minute delivery" in my case was way off base. What's worse, their processes for approving transactions leave very much to be desired. When talking to customer service - both the original representative and his supervisor - I was only told "you just have to wait." There was nothing anyone could do to help me.
Because I purchased this card to be delivered for a party (which didn't happen), this was a completely unacceptable situation that has left a very nasty taste in my mouth regarding the use of Amazon Gift Cards. Buyer beware

I should have heeded the negative reviews I read since this gift card was not delivered on my son's birthday as scheduled and it's now going to take them two days to determine what went wrong. Beyond disappointing!

Let me start by the fact that it took 6 tries to process and purchase this gift card. I had my account suspended 5 times and was told on every occasion that it's because of my bank account. When I'd call my bank I was told that everything was fine on their end. I did tell Amazon that the bank is saying that my account has no problem processing the purchase but they still didn't listen and kept saying to call my bank. I got very frustrated and finally spoke to someone who REALIZED that the problem was on amazons end. This was probably the worst experience ever. And no, I would never recommand to anyone to go ahead and buy...
Be Warned! Amazon not honest with their click bait to reload to get a free reward card if do! They won't really reward you!
October 8, 2017Would not recommend falling for Amazon's crooked system of telling you to 'reload' & buy a gift card, then get a reward gift card in return for doing so. BE WARNED, they will NOT always honor such & you have no resolution or choice to dispute. It's literally your word against theirs & I highly suggest taking a picture of your check out page to prove you added the deal. You cannot escalate the issue nor speak to a supervisor or anything. They just screw you out of your reward card by click baiting you to reload, reload & get this. Then you do & they say, oh it didn't show it in your cart. LIARS! FRAUDS! Stay woke people, Amazon is not as sweet, honest & perfect as they'd like you to think & advertise & spout.

Why can't I use my Amazon balance to purchase an Amazon gift card for my son? You require me to purchase additional credit with a credit card when I can cover this with my balance? What a waste. Amazon is proving to be a burden.

I have sent and received 1000s in amazon gift cards over the years. So it hurts me to write this review but I want to make sure people are aware of how little responsibility Amazon takes to make sure a gift sent through them reaches your loved ones. I sent a 100$ gift card to a friend in April. When she went to use it, she was told the claim code was not valid. She let me know and I called Amazon. I was told that the claim code was used by someone else (they could tell it was a different person)...they sent the same claim code on two different gift cards, so clearly their fault. The rep said she would let the gift card department know. But next morning I get this email from a customer service rep in India..

I've researched your Amazon.com Gift Card order and found that it may have been used by "Susan Pebley" someone other than the intended recipient. I'm not able to resend the gift card or refund the order.
To receive a refund, please contact the bank that issued the credit card used to purchase the gift card and dispute the charge. The bank will send paperwork for you to sign to verify any unauthorized charge. Your bank will then pass the appropriate paperwork on to us.
I hope you understand my limitations and help us to serve you better.We hope to see you again soon.
We'd appreciate your feedback. Please use the links below to tell us about your experience today."
One they dont want to fix something that should be easy to fix...."just reissue a gift card", they want me to spend more time trying to get back what should be there in the first place . The credit card company cant do anything unless you find out about it in their 90 day limit. That doesnt usually happen as most gift card recepients dont use it right away. They might not even feel close enough to the giver to let them know it didnt work...just imagine how many gifts dont reach the recipient.
very disappointed by Amazon. I will be looking for a different more reliable company to send my gifts with.
Felt this was important to bring to people's attention with the coming holiday season. Please don't waste your money sending an Amazon gift card. Just send your loved ones cash instead.

DO NOT BUYER AMAZON GIFT CARDS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
July 24, 2017DO NOT BUY THESE GIFT CARDS!!!!!!!!! I would give it a ZERO star if I could. I have been ordering $$$$ of these for my clients and had nothing but issues. My clients can't claim it or use it, or it gets hacked into and stolen or they have technical errors sending them to my clients. I have spent multiple times on the phone trying to get these issues resolved and then had to follow up with it to make sure it was resolved.
I spend all this money for gifts, just to have my clients to come to me to tell me they can't use it and then I have to spend my time trying to get it resolved. TERRIBLE!!!!!!!

If I could rate a ZERO I would. I bought the gift card and almost immediately it was hacked and redeemed by someone else. Amazon took no responsibility and even protected the thief by refusing to at least tell me what state or country it was redeemed in.
I saw the reviews from the others saying this happened to them and I ignored them and it cost me.
I am so hurt and disappointed in Amazon. They could of at least have split the difference with me. Amazon researched and even said that there was no doubt that it was hacked and redeemed by someone else but they reminded me of the fine print that said they were not responsible. Makes me want to cry writing this. I feel more betrayed by Amazon than the hacker.

I had difficulty with one of the email addresses and contacted support advising them that it was incorrectly inputted. I purchased another and delivered this successfully however I did not receive the refund of the unallocated gift card. This was unsettling to say the least

Beware! My gift card to my nephew on his birthday was apparently stolen by a hacker. I have emailed Amazon and have gotten no response, although the card was instantly redeemed. Shouldn't Amazon have a record of who used it? NO CUSTOMER SERVICE ON GIFT CARDS!
