Amazon eGift Card - Milestone Happy Birthday Cupcake
[{'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on December 19, 2017', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-1 review-rating', 'review_body': 'I like the idea of the eGift cards, but when you choose the option of delivery through a text message, the recipient may not get it. Also, there is no way to cancel the order through your account portal...you have to contact someone at Amazon customer service who will then send you an email with a link that you have to go to.\n\nI would not recommend an eGift card through a text message to anyone.'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on January 27, 2018', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': 'This worked great for the remaining balance on a partially used Visa gift card. We got a Visa gift card as a rebate for a set of tires we bought last year and used part of it to fill the car with gas. Trouble was we had $12.05 left and the card was going to expire; partially paying that amount at a store or at the gas pumps would be a hassle and Amazon does not accept Visa gift cards as partial payment. So a hack I learned was to buy yourself an Amazon eGift card in the exact amount left on your card and use that gift card as the payment method. Then simply E-mail it to your own address for redemption ...Presto!!!...$12.05 in use- anytime-for-anything Amazon money into my account!'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on August 15, 2020', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': 'I purchased this "Welcome Baby!" Amazon gift card for a co-worker of mine. She was thrilled to receive it. These gift cards are easy to purchase, easy to redeem, and arrive within minutes (or on the exact date of your choosing). You can also customize the amount of the gift. Thank you Amazon for making gift-giving so simple!! :-)'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on October 10, 2017', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-1 review-rating', 'review_body': 'Subject: Get a $10 credit when you send a $50 Amazon Gift Card by text message\n\nIf you received that promotion email from Amazon, be very careful. My purchase experience with that promotion felt like a "bait & switch" by Amazon website. I clicked on the promotion email link and tried to buy a $50 gift card. I entered the phone number for texting the gift card and as I clicked "Buy Now" button, Amazon website reloaded the gift-card purchase page & prompted me to enter an email address because the delivery option was changed (by Amazon) to "Deliver by Email".\n\nI was confused and tried it to start over two more times. Both times, after I entered a phone number where the gift card would be delivered to, and clicked on "Buy Now" button, Amazon website would reload the page and change to "Deliver by Email". Somewhat out of patience, I just proceeded to enter an email and completed the whole purchase.\n\nAfter reading the fine print of this promotion, I realized that $10 credit is given only when the $50 gift card is delivered by text to a phone number.\n\nTo me, the whole experience is a "bait & switch". I wanted to buy $50 gift card and I followed the email link & entered a phone number. As I wanted to pay for the purchase, Amazon website changed the delivery option to "Deliver by Email" to mislead me into entering an email address to deliver the gift card. In turn, that would disqualify me for the $10 credit. What The Frank.'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on August 18, 2019', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': 'this is a fun to use and easy as well egift card solution to sending a quick egift card to a friend or love one and\nvery likable cartoon like story as well.'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on November 17, 2017', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-1 review-rating', 'review_body': 'I have tried to send a gift card by email 3 times.

Their system is broken and they are not even aware of it. If you purchase gift card and send to another person, that gift card will be redeemed before they receive it. The eGift card information is sent in the clear AND activated. Which means anything on the internet can intercept the information an cash the card in at 3rd party site for cash or redeem the card at Amazon with a bogus account. They don't even care let alone how many pissed off customers they have or how many millions are being list..who cares right?\nAnd it's such an easy fix. Until fixed Don't buy them."}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on July 25, 2019', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': 'DIGITAL CARDS: Let’s first break this down into digital versus physical. When you need a gift in a pinch, or like me, ALMOST forget a birthday: Love the digital version gift cards that get emailed, too. HOWEVER: Be sure to check with your recipient that it was received!! Three times, I have had people either forget about the email containing the gift card, or lose the code. What’s great is that Amazon can re-issue a new digital card and can easily tell the giver if it has been redeemed. So, word of advice, it is NOT tacky to ask if received if you didn’t get the thank you are entitled to in a not so perfect world of imperfect manner.\n\nACTUAL CARDS: Simply said, if you are giving a gift in person, don’t settle for the simple card in plain plastic sleeve. For no extra charge, Amazon has truly wonderfully designed boxes. Free! That’s why I chose this diamond plate tin. It works for men or women, and for ANY occasion. I buy this design in advance, keep a couple “in stock” at home and ready to give. This design works for any holiday, any occasion, any taste.\n\nIf you actually read this, THANKS! Hope it’s been of some small help if you are deciding which type to order.'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on March 5, 2018', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-1 review-rating', 'review_body': 'Had an uncharacteristically unpleasant experience with an Amazon Gift Card over the weekend.\n\nBought a $300 card for delivery via text. An hour or two later it still showed "Scheduled" for delivery. Contacted customer service, was told Amazon was waiting on my bank to OK the transaction. I went to bed thinking it would be OK\'d and delivered overnight. Ten hours after the purchase time, still not delivered. Called my bank, was told Amazon had never requested approval of the transaction. Called Amazon, was told it could be four more hours before it was approved.\n\nI told Amazon to cancel the transaction, they told me it would be done immediately, and I would get a receipt confirming the cancellation.\n\nOne hour later, I get notification that the card was delivered. Apparently the transaction was not cancelled as promised. I had been in the process of purchasing a different gift when the delivery notice came in, so I was lucky it came through when it did.\n\nThe lesson here? Let the buyer beware. Amazon\'s promise of "five minute delivery" in my case was way off base. What\'s worse, their processes for approving transactions leave very much to be desired. When talking to customer service - both the original representative and his supervisor - I was only told "you just have to wait." There was nothing anyone could do to help me.\n\nBecause I purchased this card to be delivered for a party (which didn\'t happen), this was a completely unacceptable situation that has left a very nasty taste in my mouth regarding the use of Amazon Gift Cards. Buyer beware'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on October 28, 2017', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-1 review-rating', 'review_body': 'If I could rate a ZERO I would. I bought the gift card and almost immediately it was hacked and redeemed by someone else. Amazon took no responsibility and even protected the thief by refusing to at least tell me what state or country it was redeemed in.\nI saw the reviews from the others saying this happened to them and I ignored them and it cost me.\nI am so hurt and disappointed in Amazon. They could of at least have split the difference with me. Amazon researched and even said that there was no doubt that it was hacked and redeemed by someone else but they reminded me of the fine print that said they were not responsible. Makes me want to cry writing this. I feel more betrayed by Amazon than the hacker.'}]
