Amazon.com Gift Card in a Gold Reveal
[{'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on December 17, 2018', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-1 review-rating', 'review_body': 'I shop a lot on Amazon. I mean a LOT. I decided to purchase a new sound bar and wall mount for my T.V. When I was searching I saw a package deal that included the sound bar, wall mount, and $50 Amazon gift card. I thought the gift card was included as a Black Friday deal for this particular sound bar since it was over $600. I did not notice that I was being charged for the gift card. I admit that I made a mistake. I should have paid closer attention. Nonetheless, I wonder how many people clicked on a similar "deal." That\'s not cool, Amazon. Not cool at all.'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on December 12, 2019', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-1 review-rating', 'review_body': "I have been doing shopping with Amazon for almost 4 years but this has been the worst experience till now.\n\nLast year I ordered 5 Amazon gift cards each of $15. The order was not received on the due date. So I called at customer care and they resent the order. Later on I received total 10 gift cards among which the first order reached a bit late as per my understanding. When I called customer care again, they told I can use all the 10 cards although I paid for 5 only.\n\nI gifted 2 gift cards to 2 of my friends last year. This year I myself tried to use one gift card for my account while buying something when I found it says the card has already been used!! I became doubtful and tried other cards one by one and each of them showed the gift card is already used!! Then I called my friends whom I gifted and they told that they also have not been able to use the cards but they could not tell me out of hesitation. I felt truly embarrassed and called customer care, provided all the card numbers and the customer care lady told these will be activated within 7 days. After one week, I received an email from customer service (forwarded below) which indicates the cards are ready to be used. So I gifted one of the gift cards few weeks back to another friend and guess what - it again says card is already used!! This time she called me since I asked her to inform me if she faces any difficulty to use the card.\n\nThis is utter disappointment from Amazon service. I really don't know if these cards could be used at all. I have tolerated enough embarrassment and now I don't want to try once again."}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on August 14, 2018', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': 'Perfect for Xmas gift. Red is very glittery and perfect for Valentine or Xmas gift or for someone who loves red things that glitter. This is not a gift box but a gift card insert that looks like a box.'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on December 15, 2020', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': "I bought this for our family's Christmas white elephant gift exchange this year. I put this with a big tub of Lysol wipes in a gift bag. It seemed fitting for 2020. I wanted to gift something that anyone could use, and an Amazon giftcard seemed like the best way to do that. My husband gifted the new Amazon Echo dot, and honestly, our gifts were the only one's that were traded! The gift card was traded the most at 4 times, so I felt good knowing that the giftcard was a good way to go this year. I think we all can use one right now.\n\nThis giftcard came in a sealed plastic wrapper, so you know that it's not been tampered with. There's also a receipt that shows the giftcard amount and I recommend that this should be put with the giftcard when gifting, just in case any issues arise when they're redeeming. My dad actually ended up with the giftcard, so I will update if he has any issues. Our giftcard box came in good shape. It moved up & down smoothly and didn't have any noticeable creases anywhere in person. The one thing I wish it had was the giftcard amount listed on the giftcard itself. Aside from the receipt, there's no amount listed anywhere, so we had to write $20 on the back with a marker. Not the most presentable way, but we needed something that could be seen easily so the white elephant game could continue with ease. I seen that other reviewer's giftcards had the total on the upper corner of the giftcard itself, so that's what I was expecting. Amazon giftcards ordered online rarely have that, so I wasn't completely expecting it, but hoping this one would be different. This is one thing that would be a great addition to all Amazon giftcards. I've ordered one from almost every listing on here, and that's the one thing that's been a bit aggravating each time. I folded the receipt and stuffed it behind the black giftcard. These are not the shiny plastic giftcards. These, like almost all of the giftcards bought on here, are a thick card stock material. Most people probably don't care if they're just going to load &dispose, but I prefer the plastic ones personally, because I like to save mine up. There's really not much else to say about a giftcard. I hope my experience and pictures help give you an idea of what to expect in person. Please let me know if this helps. It gives me that little encouragement to continue to take the time to share my experiences."}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on July 15, 2018', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-1 review-rating', 'review_body': "my worst amazon experience ever. I bought this for my friend for Christmas, online directly with amazon. She attempted to add to her account in January and couldn't. she emailed and called amazon, no results for months. Come July, she is able to provide me the gift card information so that i as a purchaser can look into why she can not use the gift card. hours of being on the phone and emails later, the gift card is still not activated, and I am still emailing with amazon."}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on September 28, 2018', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-1 review-rating', 'review_body': "I'm glad I didn't send these directly to the recipients. I bought 11 and had to open each carrier and actually put the gift card into the intended slot. Each card was just sitting in the back of the slider so when you opened it, it looked like nothing was there. Many of them were torn in the back. These are obviously gifts. You'd think they'd take care to make sure they're presented nicely. Very disappointed."}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on June 7, 2019', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': " Very inviting design. Slide up to reveal card.\n\nCard is in it's own insert slot so won't get stuck while sliding\n\nCard design is very generic, just the Amazon logo (probably because you can select your own amount)\n\nOn back there's a cutout for UPC, Serial number scanning code\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.\n\nShipping is ridiculously fast. Can setup for next day delivery for no additional charge."}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on March 7, 2017', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-1 review-rating', 'review_body': 'Based on reviews, I decided to check the gift card balance prior to giving it as a gift. As with other Amazon customers, I received a gift card with no balance. I scanned the gift card and entered the claim code, no funds are available. I contacted customer service and was told that the card has not been claimed to an account and that\'s why the balance isn\'t showing. Since this is a gift; I have to tell the recipient to select "manage payment" under their amazon account, scan or key in the claim code, then click submit to add the gift card to their amazon payment options. This is too much for a gift card. I thought that it would be simple to give this as a gift, but I didn\'t know that I would have to obtain and provide instructions in effort to use a gift card!'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on December 16, 2016', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': 'Should be marked on the outside what the card is worth.

First card that said $200, I clicked on & ordered. Just received $200\nAmazon gift card. The list started with low amount of Visa cards then showed $200 gift card. Since I am homebound after surgery I didn’t notice Amazon. So basically now I have spend $200. Only on Amazon products. No returns. No gift card to anyone as a gift. Really stinks'}]
