I have bought gift cards three times…just don't
I have bought gift cards three times with them. The first two went great, but the third went all wrong. The gift card did not work, so I asked for a refund. They said an investigation was necessary for up to two weeks. They didn't update me at all for those two weeks (and I shouldn't be responsible for a supplier error or theirs)), so I filed a chargeback and a complaint with the BBB at the deadline. They actually lied to the BBB that they issued a refund and showed fake pictures, but they have not and I am still pursuing the chargeback over a month later. Stick with GCX!

Hi Matt, We're sorry to hear that your most recent experience with Arbitragecard left you feeling disappointed. We appreciate you giving us the opportunity to address your concerns and provide some additional context regarding what happened. When you reported the issue with your Google gift card, we immediately opened an investigation with our supplier, as required by our Refund Policy. From the beginning, we explained that these investigations can take up to 14 days to complete. During that time, we remained in contact with you and kept you informed that we were still awaiting the supplier's response. Once the 14-day investigation period had ended and the supplier still had not responded, we issued your refund that same day. The 14-day timeframe refers to the investigation period itself, after which we determine the appropriate resolution, whether that is a replacement or a refund. We're sorry if there was any misunderstanding regarding this timeline. We also want to clarify that the documentation we provided to the Better Business Bureau accurately reflected the actions taken on your case. At no point was any false information submitted. We understand how frustrating it can be when a gift card issue takes longer than expected to resolve, and we sincerely apologize that this experience fell short of your expectations. If you still have any outstanding questions, we're always happy to continue the conversation and assist in any way we can. Warm regards, The Arbitragecard Team
