I purchased the 2 night stay for £99. Yes, a bargain especially as I received an extra 20% off. Unfortunately when I visited the choices of hotels nearly all of them would not accept my voucher unless I paid a nightly supplement at the weekends and also, now, a nightly supplement from May-September. Not quite the bargain advertised! I have requested a refund of which has been issued, but not received as yet.

Hi There, Thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback. I am sorry to hear your voucher needed to be refunded. We do aim to make it as clear as possible the supplement fees and any exclusion dates set by the supplier. If there are any issues with the suppliers we are more than happy to take a closer look into this. Please do let us know if you require any further assistance.

Still waiting for gift to arrive. Order placed on 28th April & it is now 11th May not a speedy service. It was going to be a birthday surprise for a friend but the Birthday is tomorrow & without a voucher to give it is a little late after the event! I paid £3.50 for Gift Pack + £1.99 Delivery & still no gift. Not impressed. Still waiting to receive

I paid for a guaranteed Saturday delivery for my father’s birthday. It didn't arrive and in fact still hasn’t arrived. When I called to find out where the delivery was I was initially put on hold and then cut off. I then spoke to a girl who could barely disguise her dislike for me/her job/who knows! I live in Hong Kong and as an expat we are reliant on services like this to actually work. Needless to say I won’t be a returning customer.

Gift has still not arrived! So hard to speak to someone in customer services, you have a choice for a ring back - no one calls.

I bought a voucher for three courses and a drink at any of the following restaurants - zizzi, ask, bella italia. I went to Zizzi and tried to use the voucher, however was told it had already been redeemed. (I had already emailed buyagift and Zizzi before going to check this). As we were with two small children and to save embarrassment i purchased another voucher off buyagift - both vouchers were £30 on the website but with a discount code i got them for £20 each. I was then told by Zizzi that this voucher was also not going to be accepted. The manager sat on my phone for about half an hour tryign to sort it out but kept saying it is not valid at Zizzi (even though it clearly states that the taste of Italy voucher is valid at Prezzo, Bella Italia and Zizzi) I was so embarrassed and just wanted to get out of there, two young 5 years olds bored and messing around - was an absolute nightmare. In the end the manager said we have to pay £30. i explained that this is not fair and he could see that i had just paid £20 for the voucher as he watched me purchase it. Now buyagift are refusing to give me the refund. I've bought many vouchers from buyagift for many different things but now im too worried this will happen again. Its sneaky to let you buy a voucher off them and the restaurant declines it making you pay full price - bit of a scam.

Hi Mick, At Buyagift.com we pride ourselves in offering the best value for money and quality of service for our customers. All prices are signed-off by our suppliers before the vouchers are released for sale, and although we are not a discount site, we do strive to reach the best deal possible for our customers. The experiences we sell are aimed as gifts for recipients or for personal use but our site is not aimed at providing experiences for a cheaper price. We are constantly checking prices to ensure that we always offer our customers amazing value. The rates we agree with our partners are fixed and do not fluctuate based on seasonality or popularity. What we offer is a 10 month flexible voucher allowing the recipient of the gift to book their experience within this time-frame. Our prices reflect the prices we are charged by our supplier and we must add our own costing's on top of this such as our marketing costs. Although there may be some rare occasions when an individual supplier is offering a lower rate on a specific date, all our vouchers have additional benefits, such as unlimited free of charge exchanges that would not be provided when booking directly through our supplier. I am very sorry that you feel the pricing of this experience is not quite right, so I have passed your feedback across to our marketing and buying teams who continuously review our customer feedback. I hope this helps.

Paid a premium for next day delivery as this voucher was a present for my friends birthday. It arrived 5 days later instead of the expected 1 or even 2. Very disappointed. Buyagift refunded my postage but by then I had missed my friends birthday. I won’t be using again.

Package was open with no gift card inside when delivered. It looks like the Glue seal on csrboard sleeve not strong enough to handle postage handling. Maybe just my bad luck.

My son and his wife bought a Smartbox voucher for our Christmas present for looking after their children. Just tried to book the event and the voucher comes up as invalid. Called Buyagift and they said they need evidence of purchase to activate and asked that my son or his wife to call them. I explained we don't have the receipt as it was a present and my son may not as it would have been purchased 4 months ago. My family is now searching for the receipt. Looks like a scam to me, how do these people get away with it!! Do not buy anything from them it won't work!!

Hi there, Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. I understand your voucher was purchased direct through Debenhams and not Buyagfit, this vouchers should be activated at the till. If this was not the case you can go back to the store purchased from or provide us with proof of purchase to activate the voucher on our end. We are very sorry for any inconvenience this causes and look forward to hearing from you!

Trying to order on line, via a cashback site, because of technical difficulties with Buy A Gift site, I was unable to purchase order on line missing out on 18% cashback. Every time I tried to place order I was told card details error. Also there is no customer service over the weekend. I had to delay buying voucher until Monday over the phone. This also meant delay in booking hotel and availability had changed by the time I was able to process & book voucher.

Would give no stars if I could. Only valid for 10 months, whoever heard of a 10 month voucher? Then can only be extended on payment of extra £20. Not impressed

Difficult to use going round in circles draw you deeper in to spend more money before you can check availability. Really disappointed. Will never use you again. Even tried by phone to book a weekend away and was told their system had crashed would phone me back but no follow up.

On 3rd April 2019 I had a voucher declined as the contract between BuyaGift and the partner company had been changed without my knowledge. As I had bought the voucher in good faith, to be used at a specific hotel, I asked for a refund. As I was outside the 60 day refund period I was offered a credit voucher. This voucher has not yet arrived. I am disappointed with the lack of transparency, unknown change to the conditions and poor customer service.

Hi Linda, We are very sorry to hear you had to exchange your voucher to a credit. Despite our best efforts, there are occasionally circumstances beyond our control that can lead to a voucher no longer being possible at specific locations given the length of time our vouchers are valid for. Standard delivery can take up to 5 working days to arrive and e-vouchers should arrive within 10 minutes of purchase, so should definitely be with you by now. Please call a friendly member of our team on 02082755220 so we can organise a urgent replacement to be sent to your email.
