Gift Card Changes
Jan 28 2019 07:50PM more by Humaniplex
Tags: Technical Site Stuff

The Gift Card Company makes changes to the types of cards they accept and the $5 extra charge often.

They do NOT give us any advance notice or even tell us at all. We don't find out about the changes until we see a blog or get a ticket.

We just redid the page and stopped trying to show amounts and cards. When the gift card people change things, our payment page gets confusing.

The real key to it all is check the payment button BEFORE you go and buy a gift card. That way you know you are getting the correct card for the amount you wish to purchase. Check it every time! The card that worked last week might not work this week!

If you see anything on this page that needs corrections or additions or explained better please put in a support ticket.



Or use crypto! It really is fast and easy to do, and they don't charge the site 40% like the gift card people.

The % they take is a huge. But we wanted to offer as many options as possible for convince. Definitely why we prefer people use crypto or mail in.

Crypto has much larger bonuses for that reason.

I don't understand why when I used my Visa a year ago there was no surcharge.

I now just buy a money order and buy more points when I get down to about 2000 so I don't run out.

It is too bad that a check isn't more valuable then crypto currency once it is cashed.

Well at least it's nice that there are options. This site is well worth joining just for the blogs alone. They're the bomb! So interesting to hear everyone's take on pop culture across various topics.

Keep up the good work, it's a great platform to communicate with interesting people 24/7, 365.

Plan ahead and send a money order. Otherwise, get your crypto going.

I support this site by buying FX points. Well worth the small expense.
I have been using gift cards and now see that the site is getting ripped off.
From now on I will buy a money order and mail it in. Thank you HX!

Not sure about your card, but I purchased a Target MasterCard and when it didnt work I used the Help feature to contact the processor. They said it was the wrong type of card. When I looked closer it said Debit Card. I exchanged it for a regular Target Gift Card and it worked fine. This was 2 days ago...
Good luck...

For anyone interested, you can buy Fandango gift cards at cardpool.com at a 20% discount with no hidden fees. You can't use cash, so not for everyone, but delivery is nearly instant. Guest checkout is an option.

Just did this and it worked like a charm.

They sell other cards too, but I bought a card that I might actually have a use for in case the FX purchase didn't work out. The site claims savings up to 35%, but of course YMMV.

Decent site even if you don't need FX points.

Tried to add a $50 Apple GC yesterday, got the Success screen with the details but no email and didn't credit to my account. Was told to try again.
Today tried again and go the card used before message, use another card. The value is still on the Apple GC.

I buy a $50 Home Depot card, get the Success message again no email confirmation and no update to my points balance.

What is going on with the Gift card points purchase?
