GBHorrible experience Horrible experience. Tried buying e-gift cards online multiple times and the order kept getting canceled due to their "screening system" despite my information all being correct and the payments successfully going through to my card (to later be refunded). I called customer service whose only advice was to create an account and try different cards, which I did, and all my orders still kept getting canceled. Got transferred to at least 4 different agents who had the exact same script and then told me they weren't able to see the reason why my orders were canceled so there was nothing they could do. Assured me the screening process and their inability to access any helpful information is for "security reasons" but what the heck why would you make it this difficult for somebody to just pay for your services. Eventually got told to just buy a physical gift card but nobody could tell me where they're sold. Wish I could give 0 stars. 4 days of hassle just for nothing!

GBDon’t buy these useless cards I was given spafinder gift cards (2 of them) but there is no place in my area that takes them. I call customer service and she looked online and gave me the same useless information and claimed that there was nothing she could do. I called to ask for help but received nothing (after waiting on hold for over 20 minutes for someone to answer) my advice, buy a gift card from an actual place. This is a scam.

GBThis 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.

GBDo 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.

GBSpafinder:- 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.
