PSA: Don’t Buy or Sell Gift Cards To/From Card Snagger

Card Snagger is living up (down?) to their name.  A few months ago, I had a bad experience buying from Card Snagger (link), where I wanted to buy my dad a Home Depot gift card for his birthday, but never heard anything from the company after more than a week.  I was one of the lucky ones who got a refund from the company, but my blog post has received a lot of attention recently from others who have bought or sold gift cards to/from Card Snagger.  If they had a hard time mailing a gift card to me, I would bet they would have an even harder time paying people for sending them gift cards.  Which is why i sent out the following tweet a few minutes ago.  If you have been burned by Card Snagger, please retweet so Gift Card Granny get’s the message and drops Card Snagger as a reputable gift card merchant.

@giftcardgranny Please remove @CardSnagger as a legit gift card company. They are stealing gift cards and not paying customers. #scammers

Here is Gift Card Granny’s policy on their gift card merchants (link):

I would recommend dealing with CardPool (based in San Francisco) for buying and selling.  I am in the process of selling $1,250 of Bloomingdales gift cards (AMEX Deal) and will write up a detailed tutorial of how I sell gift cards online.  I am also in the process of a GiftCards.com online order, which I will report on next week.
