I wish I could give them zero stars

I wish I could give them zero stars! They are all incompetent employees and managers!!! I was gifted a card that I used on gift cards.com to redeem. I was able to redeem one but then the other got blocked. They could not tell me anything about why it got blocked but asked me to send in proof of purchase and the gift card via email. I waited for the email for 3 hours when I was told I would get it within five minutes. I had to call back and I was on hold again for 2 hours. When I finally got the email, I did what they asked of me and the email stated I would have a response in 24 hours. Then I get another email that said 48 hours. I waited the entire 48 hours. Still no responses as to what the resolution is with my gift card. So I called back this evening and as I am writing this I kid you not I am literally STILL on hold. I have been on the phone with these people for 3 hours. When I finally reached someone they said yeah this isn’t the right department, let me transfer you. I’m like what in the heck??? So yeah I am not waiting on a supervisor which I don’t know if I am ever going to reach one now. Once all of this is said and done I will NEVER USE GIFTCARDS.COM AGAIN, OR ANY BLACK HAWK NETWORK GIFT CARDS. They got me messed up! Then have the nerve to have the hold prompt say “ I know your time is valuable” no the hell yall don’t because if you did you would not have callers on hold for 3 plus hours!!!!! Fix this issue or shut down because obviously your company can’t keep up with demand!!! Gift cards.com should not allow gift cards to be issued through you all. I can’t stand black hawk network!!!!!!!!!!! FIX MY ISSUE AND STOP PLAYING WITH ME!!!!! This review is as of 10/15/2026 at 6:58pm est where I have been on hold for over 3 hours!!!!!!!

MyPrepaidCenter

MyPrepaidCenter. The virtual card issued can't be accepted in Samsung wallet or Google pay as they claim. Online merchants refused it as payment. Go on the website and it refuses my login and must log in with Google credentials. Click on forgot password and email never arrives to set password. Tried to transfer funds to bank account and they don't arrive. Called and waited over a half hour being #1 in que and no response or call back as promised. This is the second settlement through myprepaidcenter that couldn't be redeemed through them. They don't deserve a single star. Never again will I accept a payment through them.
Finally over 3 hours later I get a call back and am told the bank transfer will proceed in 4 weeks. Seems the website attempted transfer was completed but there was no confirmation there or via email. Happy to have it resolved but 4 weeks for an ECH bank transfer is crazy.

Be careful everyone

Be careful everyone, I purchased a gift card from them Oct 9th, and the gift card did not work. I have contacted them and even sent an email, they advised me they would open an investigation, I called them today only to be told, no investigation was open, they have to look into it, I had to escalate it to their supervisor who had the nerve to say this is one-time exception, considering the gift card never worked

Absolutely awful

Absolutely awful. They claimed that the card was used on a fraudulent site, but the only time I ever entered into the numbers were on the site on the back of the card. So that means either their site is redirecting to a scam site or they are this scam site. They then tried to tell them they'd get back to me in 48 hours, which I don't believe. And I definitely think that no one should ever, ever, ever use their services, ever. The customer service was absolutely frustrating. They offered pretty much no immediate solution and their staff seems woefully trained to handle any sort of issue rising at all.

Dear Zack,

Thank you for sharing your experience.

We know how unsettling this situation can be, especially when you are left with unanswered questions regarding the security of your card and the status of your funds. We also understand your disappointment with the support process and the lack of an immediate resolution. We would appreciate the opportunity to investigate this matter further and review the details of your case.
