### "So Convenient and Easy!"

February 26, 2025

5.0

We have found this to be a great solution for our gift card needs. We conduct research studies and order frequently as thank you gifts. We like that we can order multiple vendors in one transaction and appreciate the electronic option because they are delivered very QUICKLY and in a convenient Excel spreadsheet that allows us to track recipients. 10/10 Recommend!

Pros

Speed of delivery, the website is easy to interact with, the variety of vendors and the option of electronic and physical cards.

Cons

I place orders at least monthly and I don't have any negative interactions with them.

### "E-gift card purchase"

July 10, 2025

5.0

It was okay. I got what I needed. As the administration was helping me to make the purchase, they helped me find how to download the purchased e-gift cards.

Pros

That it is partnered with the institute's administration and I don't have to deal with every little details.

Cons

The user interface could be better or it could be more intuitive. I didn't see or realize that the "Details" word was actual a tab under which the download button was present.

### "Quick & Easy Visa Card Order"

November 14, 2024

5.0

My overall experience was great. The card codes were easy to retrieve & arrived sooner than expected.

Pros

The card codes arrived much sooner than I anticipated, earlier than outlined on the website.

Cons

I thought the directions were a bit more daunting that the actual process. I was a bit worried it would be confusing to order the cards after reading the instructions, but it proved to be very simple.

### "Two thumbs up! Great vendor!"

September 30, 2024

5.0

I have enjoyed ordering from them, especially compared to the previous gift card vendor that my company used. They are friendlier, faster, and more responsive. All excellent qualities! Their method of delivering digital gift card codes is fast, reliable, and secure. I felt very comfortable and confident when placing my order and I will order more in the future.

Pros

I like the speed of their service and I like the flexibility of their offerings (digital vs. physical gift card options).

Cons

My least favorite thing is not their fault necessarily, but the cost of shipping physical gift cards is excessive. Blame UPS!

August 28, 2024

5.0

The account representative was super helpful from the start and was always very quick to respond to any questions I had.

Pros

I love being able to add our logo and making it more personalized instead of just a generic gift card.

Cons

### "Solid workhorse, gift card vendor"

July 31, 2024

5.0

I need something like this for my company 2 - 3 times a year. Overall, from the selection to the checkout and the secure delivery, I am satisfied and would continue using them.

Pros

There is a wide selection of gift card images and options, with the choice to select the exact amount you want for the value. The card fees are reasonable, but probably on par with other similar vendors.

Cons

The cards are paper, but I would like to see an option for plastic. Additionally, we did not go for the custom option as there was concern for lead time it would take prior to our event.

### "Purchasing Gift Cards through a Punch Out"

May 23, 2025

5.0

I have purchased physical and digital gift cards through the Blackhawk Next work, and it has been very easy to use.

Pros

Ability to choose between digital and physical gift cards. Wide variety of store that have gift card options.

Cons

Trying to share a password protected file with the links for the digital gift cards. For some reason the links would work for my colleague when I copy and pasted the information. However, it did work when I saved the password protected file as a different named file. It may have been user error on my colleague's part.

### "I'll never change this service!"

April 14, 2025

5.0

I'm extremely satisfied with this service, which I often use for work-related reason!

Pros

What I liked most about Blackhawk Network is the flexibility and convenience it offers through a variety of card options. I really appreciate being able to choose between digital and physical (plastic) cards depending on the situation—it makes the service adaptable to different needs, whether it's for personal use, gifting, or business rewards. The ordering process is quick and easy, and I was especially impressed with how fast the delivery was. Both digital and physical cards were delivered promptly, which made the overall experience smooth and efficient. This level of speed and reliability really sets Blackhawk Network apart from other similar services.

Cons

So far, I haven’t encountered anything I disliked about Blackhawk Network. It’s been a smooth and beneficial service experience.

June 23, 2025

Great never had a problem really just came back after two years and it's hard to find a convenient credit company to help create your own cards.

Pros

How they create your own logo for your business cards given you choices on the amount that fits along with payment options so glad we able to use credit cards for payment

Cons

Nothing really the only thing I can say the customer service or assign person to your account maybe need sto reach back when trying to contact them

### "Above And Beyond"

February 9, 2025

5.0

We have only had a couple cards with issues, and after contacting their support team, was resolved in minutes. i had one card when i first started using BlackHawk i wasnt aware of expiration. they went above and beyond by explaining in detail each step of redeeming, in ways i could understand, and then proceed to re activating my card for me so i didnt loose it when it was my fault so nothing bad here to say. i highly recommend anybody give them a try. its worth it for sure.

Pros

support is top notch, quick to resolve any issue at hand, which is why i give five stars alone. not to mention super easy to use.

Cons

i have only had a couple of issues in the past with gift cards being redeemed, being delayed, and maybe more specifics on expiration dates in the future..

Cons

There was nothing that i liked least about Blackhawk. They are well coordinated and have great customer service skills.

### "Blackhawk Does Not Disappoint!"

December 2, 2024

5.0

We've been using Blackhawk for many years now and I love the consistency of their products and service. This is hard to find nowadays, especially with all the cybercrime taking place these days.

Pros

I love the ease of ordering. The website is very user friendly and the service is very reliable. I love that you can customize the cards and the amounts. This is very important because a lot of other companies have set amounts and that doesn't always work for our purchases. I feel confident that my orders are being processed securely and that Blackhawk is doing everything possible to deter fraud. Our orders are always accurate and on time. Plus they have great customer service and completely dedicated reps.

Cons

I can't think of single negative thing to say about Blackhawk. There is absolutely nothing that I dislike about this company.
