Giftly is a mobile app enabling its users to send their friends digital gift cards from any establishment. I anticipated a straightforward gift card purchase but received an email redirecting me to PayPal. As a wheelchair user, I value simplicity, and this system added unnecessary complications. I regret spending $6 on a cumbersome experience when I could have easily transferred the money myself. My attempt to get a gift card for my friend's daughter's birthday turned into a needlessly complicated ordeal. Firstly, the delivery of digital gift cards via Giftly is secured through end-to-end encryption.
I went to redeem a voucher I received and 24 hours later, have not received the transfer of funds. It also states that once it’s transferred, it will take 2-4 business days to actually get it into your account. They’ve asked for additional information which I think is inappropriate. Please don’t use this company, either get a voucher directly for what you want or just give the person the money. I hope I actually get the voucher money but I’m not sure I will at this stage.
I have repeatedly called giftly.com and sent e-mails. My grandson never received the gift card and I have not received any compensation although the charge is still on my credit card. I have not been able to talk to anyone at Giftly.com. The trick underlying the app is that Giftly has a web of relationships with banks and credit card processors. When the recipient goes to redeem their gift, they pay themselves, but Giftly will reimburse them that amount through their credit card. In a sense, the more gifts you receive and send to friends, the more Giftly can serve as a mobile wallet or a record of what you’ve consumed or where you’ve gone.An intuitive interface, robust onboarding resources, and best-in-class support make Gliffy easy to jump into and quick to learn.

This causes problems for everyone involved, with businesses dealing with upset customers that blame them for not accepting Giftly and GiftRocket cards. To redeem a gift, the user must be registered with Giftly, which is done by entering his smartphone number and credit card information. Bentley said that Giftly uses SSL technology and bank level encryption to protect the user’s data. A smartphone isn’t essential — there are ways for a recipient to redeem the gift without one — but having a smartphone allows the recipient to take full advantage of Giftly’s features. For example, Giftly can allow your Retention Team to send gift cards to power users, or empower your Support Team to make amends with users by sending gift cards. They just send fancy email to recipient and then offer to transfer the money to Paypal, Bank account in 3 to 4 days or receive physical cash card in 2 weeks.
