First time I've come across Gift Rocket. What a great way to send and receive gifts. They provide many gift card options for various vendors and recipients can transfer funds to Venmo. More importantly, their customer service agents were very helpful and responsive when I had a question about their services.
Horrible! Will take your money and then cancel you transaction without giving you a reason why! When you ask them they will tell you they "can't tell you"! They are not a Legit company and their site should be shut down! I got confirmation that the card was delivered but they cancelled it 2 days later!

I received a rocket gift card from my mother in law. I opted to use it at Kimberleys day spa. It was super easy to activate. I don't know why people use pre paid visa and Mastercard gift cards. I'm a customer for life.
Tip for consumers:
Best gift ever. Everyone should use them.

This is the best gift Idea ever! You as a buyer don't have to think about which gift card to buy the receiver can pick out their own. I love it and will use it again.

I am always on the look out for ways to share gifts and rewards other than Amazon gift cards and was hoping this would work for people in Costa Rica. Turns out, they can only link the gift to an Amazon gift card. Which has no processing fees. Unlike GiftRocket.

It's a great idea for tricky people since they offer lots of gift carts to choose from but The redeeming menu is not great. It only shows you the most popular cards but gives you the option to search for the one you want so I recommend looking at the gift cards on their website and choosing something in advance. Since everything is done through email it also takes time to get all the email needed in between getting the gift, redeeming, and getting a usable code.
Easy to use, helpful customer service, quick response, great choices to pick from to redeem your gift card.

My nephew bought us a gift card as he too thought GiftRocket would work at my favorite restaurant. Like many other comments below, that is a common misconception (the 'trickery' part). I was wary about giving my bank account info out, so opted for a gift certificate at a place they did provide. I was doubtful it would work, judging from other comments, but it actually worked just fine. I would not use this system again, as its just as easy to get a Lowes gift card from Lowes without the uncertainty.
As a first time receiver of a GiftRocket gift card, I was pleasantly surprised at the many retailers associated with GiftRocket including direct cash into my bank account via Venmo. Once I decided on the vendor to redeem my gift with - presto an email confirmation was received and I was on my way shopping. I liked the virtual thank you card option. What a nice way to give a gift of shopping options
I recently received a financial gift from a friend via GiftRocket. Honestly, I had never heard of them and was a teensy bit suspicious. However, they made it so easy. I just clicked a button or two and confirmed how I wanted to receive my gift and the money was delivered into my account in the time frame promised. I also love that you have the option of selecting gift cards instead of a cash transfer.

GiftRocket is a great way to transfer funds.

I received a gift from friends on gift rocket and went in to view my gift and it was very easy to see and use the website. I didn't use my gift for a long while but I went back to it a year later and it was still there and I was able to get the gift loaded to my bank account as cash! Website was very user friendly! Thank you
I was gifted a $100 birthday gift in the form of a gift rocket. I forgot about it and went through a divorce and then I went and tried to redeem it and they said it EXPIRED and was not able to be used. So, my friend gave GIFT ROCKET a $100 present for my birthday haha. Should be illegal!
Hi Michelle,

My hubby and I were traveling through rural Mississippi when we realized we'd forgotten a very special family occasion occurring that same day. We needed a last-minute gift that could be delivered ASAP. After a search on my phone, I landed on GiftRocket's site. To our delight, we were able to purchase an online gift card to a favorite restaurant. GiftRocket totally saved the day for us!

We decided to redeem through Venmo, gift card show as redeemed, but money never transferred to Venmo acct. I will ask the person who gave us this GC to stop payment on this!
Hi Patricia,
Apologies for the frustrating experience with GiftRocket. Please note that due to the way GiftRocket is regulated, Venmo transfers via GiftRocket are not instant. It may take one business day for Venmo transfers to complete. Please don't hesitate to reach out to us at support@giftrocket.com with any questions.
Giftrocket is an excellent opportunity to have a gift card from a place you really want. Hope more store join it
Hi Viviana,
Thanks so much for the kind comments, we're glad you enjoy GiftRocket. We notice you left a two-star rating despite the positive comment, if there's anything we can help with please email us at support@giftrocket.com.
I was very pleased when I received a gift card via email from a co-worker. I started to wonder how much trouble and if it would be a hassle to redeem it. With gift rocket, that was not the case I was able to use it on so many different platforms or even just deposit it into my bank. I think that is super awesome!
I plan to use "Giftrocket" for Christmas and birthday gifts.
I was given a GiftRocket certificate to use at a local business, choose one of the many affiliated gift cards or receive credit through PayPal or Venmo. I chose the credit to go in our Venmo account to use the money for an upcoming getaway. It was quite straightforward and easy to navigate and use. Everything was seamless. I'd highly recommend to others.

I received a gift card
We were given a gift rocket gift card from our daughter for the help we gave her to care for her new puppy! A gift rocket gift card was perfect because it allowed us the option of literally tons of places in which to use it. Deciding where to use it was easy, fun and super helpful!
I would definitely suggest using gift rocket as an option to give which allows the person to select when and where to use their gift card!

I recently wanted to send someone a gift card to In N Out Burger and desired to make it available, to them, immediately; rather than waiting. Moreover, GiftRocket allows the recipient to send you a thank you message; which was a nice touch.
GiftRocket made all of this possible. It's a seamless experience and they had the benefit of using the gift card immediately. This was my first experience, nevertheless, I will definitely be using their services again real soon!
Tip for consumers:
It’s straightforward and seamless; while being completely transparent and instantaneous.

DO NOT use this company! It is a scam. Check out the many complaints filed against them on the BBB. Why hasn't anyone shut this scam operation down?!
My daughter gifted me a $50 gift card and when I go to redeem it say it can't redirect and they will email me. No email came. I emailed them twice and no response. Just like all the other 1 star reviews state.
How is this company still allowed to operate?! Shut them down!

Do Not use Giftrocket, they are a scam!!
