              I ordered a personalized **** gift card as a gift for a family member. I received the card but when we tried to activate it, it will not activate. When I call customer support, I am unable to talk to anyone. It says they are experiencing technical difficulties and hangs up on me. I also sent an email and received only a case number and no way to speak with anyone and no corrective action.

              I received a virtual CC from Blackhawk Network after an awards settlement. They say you can use it anywhere Mastercard is accepted. BS! I can only use it at the grocery store. And their customer service is of no help. What a waste of time.
