Dear Aspen,
On November18, 2024, Blackhawk Networks (Blackhawk) received a complaint from *** ****** regarding funds from a **** Achievers card that could not be reissued.
Second paragraph: complete timeline of events that led to the BBB complaint being filed, including all Cases having been opened, what was advised, and actions taken by either complainant or us.
While federal law does specify that funds from gift cards cannot expire, promotional, loyalty, or rewards gift cards such as this one are exempt from this restriction. The program provider associated with this gift card set the expiration date as part of their contract terms with us to ensure the funds are used within a specific time period rather than being held onto indefinitely. The Terms and Conditions are available for Ms. ****** to review at any time, and we encourage and recommend that any and every cardholder review the Terms and Conditions associated with any gift card, rewards card, promotional card, or loyalty card to ensure they are able to utilize the funds associated with the card to the best of their ability within the strictures of the card network allowances. We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience Ms. ****** may have experienced.

I purchased a **** debit gift card from my local ****** in the amount of $243.00 plus a $6.95 activation fee On November 14th. I made 3 online purchases totaling $188.30 from ulta beauty, ******** secret, and dicks sporting goods between November 14th and the morning of the 15th. At 11:23 a.m. on November 15th I attempted to make a purchase at a local vendor for $20.33 and the purchase was declined. I called to check the card balance and was immediately redirected to customer service who informed me that there was a block on the card due to suspicious activity. I confirmed purchase amounts and the card was unblocked. At 5:30 p.m. on the 15th of November I attempted again to make a purchase at a local store and the card was declined and blocked again. I call customer service and am told the previous agent was unaware of what she was doing and there's no unblocking of the card, only a half hearted promise that a replacement could come by mail a matter of weeks. Blackhawk network runs the biggest online gift card company available so I asked customer service about the possibility of an emailed replacement. The agreed and said it was sent but could take up to 24 hours. The card has still not arrived and multiple calls back to the company have resulted in mixed explanations and answers that basically involve "wait for it". In my opinion this is fraudulent behavior by claiming suspicious activity and withholding remaining card amounts by not replacing as promised. $54.70 is still owed to me.Business Response

I was gifted a **** Giftcard for $200 from my father as a Birthday gift from Giftcardmall on 11-4. I went to check the balance on ***** and the card had a balance of $.03 with one transaction for $197.97 on 11-7 with no details except purchase.
