Gift Card Planet Branded Eftpos (page 2 of 6)

I won a gift card at work October 1 2017 for 50 $.
Tried using it 31 May 2018. It was still in the original plastic package.
There was 26 $ left on it. Yes looked like a fool arguing with the cashier.
So I learned the hard way if you don't use it within the first year they charge 3 $ per month.
So the expiry date was 02/20 ....what a joke...a scam it should be removed from any store selling any type of card that abuses and mislead people.

They are thieves! my mother in law passed away and in going through her things we found a gift card she purchased just before getting ill. no one knew she had it until she passed away. unfortunately was just out of expiry. I called and asked if they could issue a new card on compassionate grounds, and the answer was a flat out no! they have just stolen $100 as far as I'm concerned!

I am so disgusted that they would take advantage of this situation! a person has died and they will not budge from their position!

Tried to use $300 3 days after the expiry date but was told too bad you've forfeited the money because you didn't use it on time. Complaints, requests all fell on deaf ears. Don't use these people if you are a corporation and steer clear if you are a consumer. These people don't deserve their business model to thrive.

Lousy company with no ethics. Received my virtual visa card on the 23rd November with an expiry date of 30th November. A seven day window of opportunity since when did cash expire. Totally outrageous!!! why isn't something being done about such fraudulent behaviour.

I find it absolutely disgusting that this immoral company get away with ripping off thousands of people with an unnecessary expiry dates. What's the purpose? It's clearly cruel profiteering and it shows how immoral they are. Gift Card Planet are bottom of the barrel trash scum.

I received my gift card in the mail yesterday afternoon, activated it immediately and used it today at several stores with no problems.... I was concerned after reading the poor reviews however my experience was great

Got given several of these cards through a work promotion. They were within the use by date but I did not realise the card also had a activation date which had expired, needless to say I couldn't use the cards.
Definitely would not recommend this company to anyone.

This is company is such a big rip off.Would never recommend or use there service there are a bunch of hot heads sitting in there customer service department who make absolutely no sense.This company is just interested in taking your money and not be answerable to where it went absolute disgrace to run a scam like this.

Fujitsu cash back offer! BIG SCAM!!!!!
Was overseas when the card was sent out to me.
When I received the card it was past the activation stage. Gift card planet won't activate the card even if you're overseas.
3month period from when????

I was excited when I received a Planet Gift card for an award from work. When I tried to activate it I was informed I missed the activation period. This was not the case. My company contacted Planet Gift Cards and negotiated for other recipients in the same situation to have our activation periods extended. Again I tried to use my Planet Gift card- big fail! When I rang rang Planet Gift Cards I was pleasantly advised it was the retailers fault. I'm off to the ACCC!! Hopefully they will investigate and save others from what appears to be a big rip off!

If I wrote my review it would read nearly identical to the vast majority of the existing, however, I have decided to approach A Current Affair after my card from my claim which was approved in Oct of last year only just turned up, 2 MONTHS after their 3 month activation period had lapsed. I called and was asked to email the details and explain the situation and to request an extension which was immediately denied. This situation was completely beyond my control yet I have been penalised. In short, if you would like to join me in action against this company feel free to email me at [contact details removed] and use Gift card Planet ACA as the header.

My review has one star too many ! Zero is more reflective of my experience. As so many other complaints have stated, my gift card was unusable due to the mystery activation date which was missing from my card. the company keeps my $400 dollars EVEN THOUGH it clearly states on the card that it expires according to the date printed on the front and that it must be activated prior to use, that's all for validity. My card is well within its expiration date unfortunately i can't access the money due to having not activated it within three months, a fact made known to me a month too late ! Really infuriating ! and the company have no interest whatsoever ! i would strongly recommend steering clear of this scam .
