Title: gyft.com suspended my gyft acct. for no reason
Post by: HITTI2 on January 12, 2016, 09:27:47 PM
Ordered a 300 dollar amazon gift card through paypal, it went just fine.

I went to order another gift card but only 20 bucks for amazon.

Gyft proceeded that I must verify my phone number. What? Really? After just purchasing a 300 dollar gift card, really?

So ok I go with it and verify my phone, proceed to order a 20 dollar gift card, uh ohh nope, now go I must now identify myself, facepalm this is getting ridiculous. So I login to gyft with my google acct, and proceed to order that $20 gift card, UH OHHH!, nope, no go. While all this is going on I am receiving 6-8 emails from paypal that my acct has been charged, but guess what? that 20 is still in my paypal.

I am now wondering if gift is gonna try and charge my paypal acct multiple times?

But anyways, the payment will not go through and I cannot get my $20 gift card.

wth?

Both between gyft.com and PayPal are not the same thing  ??? .
Gyft.com are a place to buy and send gift cards online you can buy it via bitcoin, PayPal , cc, Apple pay etc.
And PayPal are an electronic payment.
So how we can compare two different things, it confused

There is a relationship between the two of them however his account can be suspended if they discovered that the paypal funds he used to purchased were hacked.

They as in gyft suspended my gytf account. And no, my paypal is not hacked either.

And gyft support sucks too.

I was trying to find out if it was a paypal or gyft.com problem, I am guessing its gyft.

Exact same thing happened to me.
Purchased hundreds worth of AGC, one day I tried to buy $50 and it wouldn't allow me. I proceeded to confirm my phone number, verify ID, etc, now my Gyft is suspended. Sucks.

What the fuck. This sucks man.

Did you try contacting support at all? And if you did, what did they say?

I wonder if gyft is a dox mining site.

No, I never bother with support anymore. Unless the site has a live chat I can't be bothered.
I wasn't too upset about it because it didn't charge my PayPal, but it sucks because it was the quickest way for me to buy AGC.

Who knows, it might be lol

Ah quick reply, cool.

Yea gyft is messed up and if they continue to run it like it is, it will be in the ground soon.

This is just 2 ppl coming forward about this problem, think of all the other ones that did not report the problem.

I hope more people come forward.

I suggest no one use them as far as paypal goes.

PayPal is even worse, tbh.
I got limited on my recent verified account which I spent $14 on (Buying a prepaid card to use) & bank, but got limited because of Payivy. Stupid PayPal.
They've held around 8k USD worth on my accounts, & they got debt collectors on my ass trying to get 2k on some account someone charged back on.

This is why I was trying to transfer my PP funds to BTC but fee's are high and no one wants to do 1:1 trade. So before anything could happen I got those funds into my amazon acct. Not saying paypal did anything to my acct I just didn't like having $300 funds in paypal. Hopefully today, I can spend that $300 on a product.

I'd prefer having funds in my btc wallet than any other place.

Gyft.com is shown at the front page of blockchain. I never use it but I thought it should be reliable and stable as Amazon. What a shame? They didn't even bother to improve their crappy system.

I ordered amazon cards using btc, twice with this acct before, never had a problem. But they were times far apart from each other though. I wonder if ordering right after a order with paypal for a amazon card, if the system doesn't know what to do so it suspends the acct.

Ionno, it pisses me off, I need to get that 20 to amazon for sure.

I went with egifter and bought a $20 amazon card.

They charged my paypal, just waiting for egifter to authorize the transaction.

Does anyone know how long egifter takes?

If you really need to make that purchase, you have to contact their support. It is not a big business just like going to the bank to deposit money or call the mobile company to inquire our phone bill. If you do that, you will get this issue resolved rather than complaining here. We can do nothing to help you.

I am being transparent of this company, ty. Warning others. There is already one person that came forth.

Like I stated, no support from gyft. Emailed them, I called them. uhwell. I went with egifter. If it is this way, I will use egifter for now on, that is if egifter is legit and didn't steal my 20 bucks.

egifter supplied me with a card.

Only thing is it takes a while to confirm. I am fine with that.

Also when I looked up egifter before proceeding, I seen a news article about the ceo with a picture of egifter on cnn. I like that.
