Do not buy these cards as gifts We were given a spa choice giftcard as a Christmas present. When trying to use our card online, it didn’t work. We contacted customer service who informed as the card wasn’t active and had to be activated at point of sale. This is a ridiculous process, and not how the majority of gift cards work. We’re now relying on the buyer of the card still having the receipt (fat chance) and having to go back to the shop they bought it from to activate! This gift card is probably one rung up the ladder from a straight up scam.

Spafinder:- questionable ethics! I have a Spafinder paper voucher that my daughter gave to me as a gift and I am trying to locate where I can use it in the uk. It seems it is useless and my daughter has wasted her money. Please advise why a voucher that promises massage, facials, yoga and more and has no expiry date written on it is useless to me. Why are these being allowed to be purchased in good faith by the general public and yet not delivering on the service its promising.

This is a waste of money This is a waste of money. Similar to other users my card could not be redeemed and ending up paying 300 dollars out of pocket. The website will list vendors that actually do not accept the card - so if you have one make sure to try and redeem it BEFORE your service or you will end up embarrassed at check out with an angry stylist and have to pull out your credit card. Also another word of warning - EVEN if the vendor says they accept the card ONLY certain stylists do so double/triple check. People also treat you like a second class citizen trying to save money if you mention the card.

I would give zero stars if possible I would give zero stars if possible. It proved impossible to purchase a digital Spafinder gift card online as a Christmas gift. My credit cards were repeatedly declined, several of them instantaneously - which means the decline was NOT from the bank, but from Spafinder itself. I never received any "fraud alert" notices from the banks involved, either. So the idea that the charges were legitimately declined doesn't fly. Will never try to use this company again.

The website was very difficult to use The website was very difficult to use. 1) Received error on the message field. Something about characters in a language not excepted and possibly through a length error when I was well under the character limit. I determined that the field was not allowing carriage returns. 2) Did not get responses from the site saying the Gift Card was complete. Finally, after calling the Help Desk. Determined that every email from this site sent to the SPAM folder. Unacceptable.
