I purchased $3,100 in gift cards for Carnival cruise on 4/8/24. I used the cards on 4/9/24 through Carnival Cruise's website with no problem. Then I receive a payment due email from Carnival for the same $3,100. When I call Carnival, I was advised by their Accounting and ********** that CardCash had issue a chargeback and the money was returned back to them. I have contacted Card Cash, submitted a claim report and have received no resolve. Now I have to pay the $3,100 again to keep my Carnival booking and fight for my money back from Card Cash.Business Response

I placed an order for some ****** cards only to find out that many of them were not working and showed a zero balance. There another order I was simple not able to access because it was locked and tied to another person's account and required a verfication code that was send to that person's email. One of the orders had 5 cards in the order and 4 out of 5 cards had a zero balanec from the beginning. I told the company that there was only 1 working card and the rest did not work( 4 out of 5) Their response was that the 1 working card was working( 1 out of 5) but did not mention about the 4 cards that were not working ( 4 out of 5) I have explain this countless times but the response is always that the 1 card is working(1 out of 5) and no achknowledgment of the 4 cards that are not working ( 4 out of 5) I'm not even sure if I am dealing with a real person or some kind of AI or algorithm but they do not seem to comprehend what I am saying no matter how many times I explain it. At this point it feels like I am going around in circles over something that should be a very simple problem to solve. Thanks.Business Response

I am rejecting this response because: I have not received an explanation of why the agent (sunshine) repeatedly told me that I was not entitled to a refund because of a order of 5 Lowes cards, there was a single card that work therefore I would not receive a refund on the 4 lowes thats that did not work. To recap, I had a order with 5 gift cards, 1 card worked and 4 cards did not work.******** refused to refund me the 4 bad cards in the order because the 1 card was working .Is this your policy? If you placed an order for multiple cards,only 1 card of the group much be working and the non-working cards will not be refunded?
I explain the situation clearly over and over and over again but she would not provide me a refund until after I had to file a BBB complain and push the issue.
She did not address my question of asking why this was the case or if their policy was if 1 card works and 4 card's don't if the entire order would not be refunded.
Are you only required to have 1 working card per order even if all the other cards are not working? Can you please explain how this works? Was this a mistake or is your policy not to refund bad cards as long as there is 1 in the group that works?
Was this a rogue employee telling me bad information or was this a chatbot run amuck? What is your policy when ordering multiple cards and 1 is working and the rest are bad? Please help me to understand this situation.

On or around February 7, 2024, CardCash sent me an offer for it to purchase three ************ gift cards totaling $5,000 value for $3,250 via direct deposit, with payment made within 1-2 business days of its verification of card balances. I accepted its offer, creating the purchase agreement on the terms above it drafted, and received an order confirmation stating all that was needed was sending in the cards. However, on or around February 13, 2024, CardCash then sent me a Request for Proof of Purchase/Origin, which I immediately provided. CardCash confirmed it validated the cards, but then sent me a Plan B for Your Gift Cards consignment listing offer, despite the purchase agreement it drafted and entered into not stating anything about that possibility. I promptly contacted them and was told that, despite our agreement and their verification of the card balances (both of which they acknowledged), they had too many ************ gift cards in stock and didnt want more. I told them they shouldnt have offered to purchase my cards if they didnt want them, and they said sorry we can only offer Plan B now, if you agree to it. I told them I wasnt interested in listing for consignment, I wouldnt agree to a new deal, and our existing agreement for their purchase of the cards remained in place. They simply repeated the new consignment offer, then I asked to speak with a supervisor, but was told theyre just going to tell you the same thing. After restating my request multiple times, I was sent to supervisor voicemail which was full, said sorry an error has occurred, then hung up on me. This same fraudulent scheme has been occurring for months since then now each time I contact them. Recently, I was even told the supervisors only work 11 am-2 pm and cant be contacted otherwise. On or around April 12, 2024, I finally spoke to a supervisor after hours and months of calls & emails, after which CardCash unilaterally cancelled the order and has held my cards hostage.Business Response

On 1/2/2024 after internet online search, I arrived at Cashcard.com website and bought an ********** gift card on worth $100 discounted and paid $82.50 using my credit card. They sent me 2 documents from noreply.cardcash.com email address. One document was a receipt of the money indicating order number *******. The other was the $100 gift card number ******************* pin number 8036. On 3/9/2024, I went to ********** restaurant to eat with my son and tried to pay by giftcard. They returned the card and said "card indicates inactive or expired". I asked if ********** gift cards expire. They said ********** giftcards don't expire or lose value. The gift card also had a Applebees phone number. I called and auto entered the details and also recorded message indicated the same response. Then I realized I was scammed by Cardcash.com sending me an invalid card. I went online to Cardcash.com website and filled out a contact form and explained the situation and requested a valid card or refund. They responded they cannot replace or refund and indicated they had a 45 day replace/refund guarantee and in my case it was more. I wrote back saying the card was a worthless scam , and they responded again and refused by the 45 day guarantee. When I purchased online and with the documents I received, There was NO visible indication whatsoever that they had a 45 day guarantee. Only when I applied for replace/refund that they indicated and refused as such. I simply trusted that I would receive a valid giftcard. Further, the original gift card was a worthless scam. It was not the case that I changed my mind and requested a refund. Gift card was simply worthless at any time. since ********** giftcards do not expire or lose value. I believe Cashcard.com is a dishonest online organization that relies on people missing arbitrary deadlines for any reason. The ***************************************************************************** the documents received.Business Response

I sold multiple burlington coat factory gift cards to card cash in December 2023 and early January 2024. I received the promised payment but recently after months of this transaction, (in late March 2024), they have contacted me and said that the cards were used before their customers bought it from them. Then they said I have an outstanding balance of around $840 and that i need to pay them. The transaction was months ago and approved and I have not used those cards at all. I had those cards from the time I used to work at burlington and just wanted money for cards that were otherwise going to sit on my table. I replied and said I have not used those cards at all and the transaction was also months ago and I fail to understand my liability. They have not responded to me yet, but I would like this to be resolved.Business Response

I am rejecting this response because:
I responded to the business with my contact information and they made no effort whatsoever to contact me nor was I informed that they were sending a debt that I deny is mine to collections. I gave them my number and email and did not hear back from them. It was as a result I reached out to the BBB. The business should get into contact with me to resolve this before this shows up on my credit report. After months of a transaction, I dont understand how gift cards getting drained after I sold them to them is my fault. I never used them and the only time I looked at their number was when i sold them.

Copy of complaint to Support below: **START OF COMPLAINT** SUBJECT: *URGENT* PAYOUT STATUS ORDER: #XXXX489 DATE PLACED: 03/21/24 DATE APPROVED: 03/22/24 NOTE: This is the now the 6th+ time reaching out about this. I reached out earlier this morning (03/25/24) and the Chat Rep assured me that I would receive my payout by EOD today (03/25/24). It is now EOD and I still have not. received my Virtual Prepaid Card due for payout. Where is the payout for the approved gift card? I was promised the payout would be received by EOD today; but the CardCash team has failed to deliver on that promise. I have no other choice but to escalate this matter to formal agencies (CFPB, FTC, BBB, other suitable agencies) that investigate these issues by CardCash. I've been patient but there's really no reason for this process to take this long. The card honestly should've been delivered instantly upon the time of approval.Please resolve this immediately.**END OF COMPLAINT**Business Response

I purchased a $15.01 ********* gift card trying to save $1.50. I tried to load to my ********* app which didn't work; that was fine as it's stated in the terms. I then went to the store. They scanned the gift card and my app for Stars. That's when the cashier noticed the gift card was linked to someone else's ********* account. She would not let me use the gift card due to this. I contacted CardCash and made a claim, but they denied it. So much for the "guarantee". I'm now out $13.50 for trying to save $1.50. I will not purchase again.Business Response
