"" 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.

DONT USE THE TEXT MESSAGE OPTION!!!
December 18, 2017
I like the idea of the eGift cards, but when you choose the option of delivery through a text message, the recipient may not get it. Also, there is no way to cancel the order through your account portal...you have to contact someone at Amazon customer service who will then send you an email with a link that you have to go to.
I would not recommend an eGift card through a text message to anyone.

My wife's birthday morning was nerve-racking as the card required a 2-step verification code which took way too long to arrive. I think we re-requested the code 2 or 3 more times before the card opened on the desktop. The music and animation were perfect, but then the card automatically loaded itself into MY Amazon account, not hers! Not a terribly big deal, but awfully annoying anyway.

The eCard is a great idea and so convenient. The only problem was the person I gave it to had a lot of trouble trying to redeem it. I was embarrassed and I was frustrated for them. They were finally able to use it but it took several “tries” to get the help they needed and figure it out.

I think it might have been fine, but I can't know for sure. I uploaded, loved the idea of it but didn't get to see what the end result was. I'm not even sure the recipient received it with photo... it didn't show. All I saw was the the blank "your photo" when it went. I just hoped it came out the way I wanted it to.

I bought an e-gift card to be delivered to my husband's email box on his birthday. It never arrived. I re-sent it twice... never arrived. I finally had to call Amazon, and they just added the amount to my husband's wallet. That really defeated the purpose of sending him an e-gift card in the first place, since I had to tell him to look at his account to see that there was now money there. The Amazon rep had no idea why my card wouldn't go through, and even though he made sure the money got to the right account, it was a disappointment from a gift-giving perspective.

unhappy with the presentation on Amazon website as it states if you purchase another card after you put one in which I did for $50 that you will get $5 for an additional 20 well if you're someone like me either doesn't always wear their glasses or has always relied on and it's always been happy with Amazon I did not enlarge the fine print and thought I was getting a $5 credit on Amazon which states when enlarged is only for new customers. Please read the fine printbecause for some reason or the other Amazon is going through some changes and there's always other carriers that offer the same products and very similar prices.

You put money on the card, the card arrives to someone and they spend that money. Why is a review necessary? 3 stars for doing it what it’s supposed to do, like my washing machine. Took two off because I don’t think a great or excellent is needed because it does what it’s supossed to do! You don’t give Tom, Dick, and Jane an excellent rating because they show up to work, do you?

Is anyone else having trouble placing orders for an egift card? I've been trying several times throughout the week, and overtime I enter in all the info and go to 'buy now' or 'add to cart' the page refreshes and does not take me through the next steps to place the order.
I've contacted Amazon representatives a couple times already, and they keep saying the team is working on it and it should be fixed within some hours. Of course that's not the case.

I cant give it higher rating because of my experience with the amazon support team as i requested them to disable or return the gift card to me as i was getting scammed by someone who demanded a payment via an amazon card
The card code worked well i guess with the scammer and he bought something for him with it
I am still sad about this and sadly amazon did not help me cancel and return my card so the scammer got my money and ran away

A warning to you my fellow shoppers that these gift cards are ideal for scammers to get money out of us. I received an email that appeared to come from an old friend requesting that I purchase a gift card for one of her friends because her bank card was turned down. She explained that she would pay me back as soon as she straightened things out with the bank. I replied to her saying that I could do this for her. The emails appeared to be coming from her because my email program doesn't show the email addresses but rather just shows the name of the person and when I thought I was replying to her I was in fact communicating with the scammers. Usually I don't fall for these ruses but I did this time! So be careful of buying for anyone except yourselves!

I got scammed, product is good but I ended up getting scammed out of my money with it so I'm not happy. DOn't ever give the code that comes with it to anybody....
