[{'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on May 12, 2018', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-1 review-rating', 'review_body': 'I ordered six of these cards for my daughters teachers for teachers appreciation week. They arrived on time but apparently they were not activated by Amazon!\nJust imagine you gift this card to somebody and when they try to redeem it states the balance on this is zero dollars! How embarrassing!!\nI’m glad I checked with one of the teachers to see if it worked because it was a large amount $250 Creekwood nyrinyted by all the students’ parents and she said that the card was invalid!! The other teachers might have even found it awkward to tell us that the card was blank. It was a gift after all !\nI called amazon customer service and ask them to activate these cards. They told me that they need to have the teachers call them directly with claim codes so they can apply the balance to their individual accounts.\nAmazon was not able to activate them on their end without each person I gifted it to calling them. It was really a bad experience - first by giving somebody a gift card that was blank and then having them deal with the customer service themselves to get the money they were gifted. I am really really embarrassed and extremely unhappy with the experience. please please please do not make a fool of yourself by getting these!!'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on June 21, 2019', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-2 review-rating', 'review_body': "If you are only buying one (or several of the same quantity), you can ignore this low review.\n\nI purchased several of these gift cards as gifts for my son's teachers and therapists for end of the school year gifts. I purchased six cards in three different amounts ($15,$20,$40). When the cards arrived, there was no way to tell which amount was on which card. There was a note that said that I could line up the card number with the order number. Unfortunately as they were all connected to same order number, it was not possible to tell. I contacted customer service for help, however they were very reluctant to assist. I'm not sure if it was just the agent, or an issue with gift cards in general, but it was not good customer service, that's for sure.\n\nAnyhow, if you are purchasing multiples in different amounts, purchase each card separately to avoid such issues.\n\nThe card itself is cute."}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on July 2, 2019', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-4 review-rating', 'review_body': " Got you cardboard flowers...and an Amazon gift card!!\n\nFirst thing to note is that a little setup is required. Card was placed on back for some reason and must move to the card slot up front. Something to keep in mind when gifting.\n\nMaterial for card stock and print is of very high quality.\n\nSlider can be a bit loose. Not a nice smooth transition every time depending on how you slide it, but does give the card reveal nevertheless.\n\nAmazon gift card itself is very basic. Just Amazon logos on a white backdrop.\n\nRedeeming card is easy. There's a peel off sticker (instead of scratcher) on back of the card, no need to worry about scratching off the text of the code. If you use the amazon app you can redeem the amount in seconds: click the camera option and align the boxes with the text code."}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on May 20, 2018', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': 'These are GORGEOUS! We punched a hole in the top with a single hole-punch, tied a curled ribbon to it and attached it to a helium filled balloon so every person that had a birthday or anniversary at our work luncheon received a "floating pot of flowers" with a $25 gift card attached! Get these and save money on decorations. They are attractive enough and big enough to serve as a card and decoration all in one.'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on April 30, 2022', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': 'I was a little hesitant to purchase these because of some of the bad reviews, but glad I bought them! Was going to buy a $20 one and two $15 ones but one review mentioned not being able to tell which card was which but I found it not to be true once they arrived! When you go to "my orders" amazon gives the last 4 of each card\'s serial number and tells you the dollar amount for each. Perfect for teacher appreciation week!'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on May 3, 2017', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': "These cards were very cute! I bought three for my sons' teachers for Teacher Appreciation Week and they loved them! I like that Amazon provides these card holders at no cost when you buy the gift cards. What an awesome idea and there were many to choose from! Thanks for making the buying of a gift that anyone can appreciate (a gift card) even easier by including the wrapping."}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on May 18, 2017', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-1 review-rating', 'review_body': 'I purchased these gift cards as part of a promotion Amazon was running. I will upload a photo of the email I received. In the email it stated "Get $15.00 Amazon credit with a $50 Amazon gift card purchase". It\'s the end of the school year, so I purchased 3 $50.00 gift card for my kids teachers. I figured that was a great deal for both of us, I spend $35.00 and they get $50.00 for their classroom.\n\nFour days later I attempt to purchase a birthday present and was reminded to check on my $45.00 credit I thought I had coming. I couldn\'t find it, used all their "self help" links, and finally found a phone number to speak to a human and get help. First lady was wonderful, told me the reason I didn\'t get it was because I had purchased all three in one transaction, instead of 3. I thought that was silly so I asked for a supervisor.\n\nThe supervisor, Deo located in the Philippines, was the supervisor I was connected to. He informed me what the email really meant was ONE $15.00 credit for purchasing OVER $50.00 in gift cards. Clearly that email is open to interpretation. He said it was written in the terms and conditions...however when I tried to read them for myself I was sent to a different screen (picture attached). I asked to speak with his supervisor, to which he informed me he is the very top of the customer service center. I asked for his boss. He said he was only authorized to give me a mailing address. Dumbfounded I asked him if Amazon corporate office in Washington does not have phones or email. He said they are only allowed to contact them via their computer system.\n\nMost of my conversation with Deo was in silence. I\'m assuming he was typing up everything I was saying for amazon\'s records. 54 minutes into my conversation the line disconnected and they never called back. I called back to get amazon\'s address and was surprisingly connected to a customer service rep who worked in the same department as Deo. He spoke with Deo (who was unable to speak with me since he was busy with another customer). The new customer service rep, Ian, could not have been kinder and more professional. I felt like he was actually listening to my complaint verse Deo who just wanted to record every little thing I said.\n\nIan helped me get the contact information I needed, and also gave me the email address of where I could forward a copy of the email in question. Ian also provided me with the PO Box for Amazon Corporate Office in Seattle. Since I can not voice my compliant to Amazon corporate office directly, and I must write a letter, I figured I would share it with all who would listen. I hope your Amazon experience is better than mine. And Deo, you might want to pay attention to Ian and Mercy - they are customer service pros.\n\nLong story short, Amazon - who is worth $430 BILLION - would rather lose a long time customer over $30. But as for the product, it was adorable and looked great in my candy bouquets. I\'ll attach a picture of that too.\n\n***UPDATE*** After I emailed Amazon as part of a survey they sent, I received the following response:\nHello,\n\nI understand you\'re concerned about $15 credit for purchasing $50 gift cards on our website.\n\nI can completely understand how frustrating and annoying the situation can be when something like this happens but believe us it was never our intention.\n\nAfter reviewing your previous correspondences with our customer service, I can confirm the information provided to you was correct. As my colleague mentioned, the promotional credit will be provided only one per customer.\n\nYou can view the restrictions for promotion code here:\n\nhttp://www.amazon.com/promos\n\nI realize this is frustrating; however we aren\'t able to offer any additional insight or action on this matter and any further inquiries regarding this issue won\'t receive a response.\n\nWe appreciate your understanding.\n\nBest regards,\nMadhan P.\nAmazon.com\n\nI did go to that link, and there is nothing that addresses my concern or complaint. I wrote back asking them to highlight the part that actually has to do with my complaint. Don\'t worry, I\'ll update this if they ever respond.'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on May 14, 2017', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': "Absolutely perfect gift for Mothers Day, or any occasion where the recipient loves flowers. My mother is a HUGE flower nut (who's isn't?) so to go along with the theme of other flower related gifts, I had to get her an Amazon gift card as well so she could pick out something she's really wanted. This flower pot reveal is simply perfect, and she loved it!!\n\nThe only qualm I may see that others have noted is that there really isn't much writing space, so you might not want to plan on using this to present your message. It is a truly awesome way to give someone a gift card."}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on May 15, 2022', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': 'I had no issues.

I ordered the $100 value gift card, it was delivered next day, beautiful card and already assembled. I put it in a small gift bag with some tissue paper and just like that, immediate Mother’s Day gift. Not only was my mom impressed with how cute the card was, she went home that evening and spent the entire thing. We had absolutely no issues with the order or the card. Super cute! Thank you Amazon!'}]
