CashStar eGift Cards Reviews
Pros
CashStar overall is such a great way to give a great incentive to my clients. I've also loved using it for myself.
I like the fact that it is easy for the customers to get at a low cost and it's easy for us to use as a means of advertisement as well without breaking the bank.
If you use store apps this is great as the e gift card can usually be added easily. Sometimes you can't find or buy what you want from the merchant or get lostin the sea looking.
I appreciate that the platform connects to the vendor I most frequently purchase from (Starbucks) and without ever leaving the website I can apply funds directly to my Starbucks gift card account.
Cons
Sometimes I get complaints from people who cannot redeem or activate the gift cards. It doesn't happen often, but it makes me hesitant sometimes.
I just don't like how it feels as if the software is forcing the end-user aka customer to either pay out the nose for cash or get one of the e-gift cards.
Some customer service issues are managed by Cashstar versus the vendor itself, which can be confusing as a consumer.
No purchases can be refunded. No exceptions & that is why we will not use cash star again.
"CashStar eGift Cards for the gift giver in you or just for you"
Overall: I am a user of CashStar eGift Cards, having purchased many for uber, food places (pre-covid) and random needs. Sometimes for a friend in need and mostly for myself. The process is easy, the results are fast and off you go. It is smart and easy. I do realize you can buy hard copy gift cards in many places and some online sites let you add value to their accounts and such, but it needing to connect the dots fast, check out CashStar eGift cards and see what there is that fits your need in the moment. Welldone.
Pros: So simple, so smart and free to get a digital e-gift card for many needs in a very little amount of time. I think it is excellent if you are a smartphone user or have an urgent need and perhaps have to maneuver funds or needs quickly. If you use store apps this is great as the e gift card can usually be added easily. Sometimes you can't find or buy what you want from the merchant or get lostin the sea looking. Not so much here.
Cons: I wish there was more flexibility with dollar amounts and increments. Sometimes you need just a little or you are trying to burn off an old traditional gift card and a CashStar card might have a $10 or $25 minimum. But in all it can be fine.
"CashStar E- gift cards review experience"
Overall: My experience has been good with Cash Star E- Gift Cards so far. I have no issues with my experience with them.
Pros: I like that I can use the CashStar gift card on the product that I am required/ requested to buy at the time. That I like the most about it. It definitely comes in hand.
Cons: I don’t have a thing to say about what I like the least about the CashStar E gift cards so far. Which is great I suppose that.
"Cash card E gift cards are the way to go"
Overall: We will continue to use these E gift cards as a way to pair clients and have it as an option to choose instead of other routes like PayPal or access to things they don’t have access to like banking systems etc.
Pros: Do you want an easy way to pay your clients, customers, friends and family, reviewers and more? These E gift cards are super super easy and easily accessible by any person who does a task that your organization or a company would offer to other people as a reward in order to receive something in return. It has a wide variety of places to choose from and it does cater to pretty much every person you could think of in your database.
Cons: I think one of the cons that I would say is that the diversity for certain clients wasn’t as much there as it was for others
"easy to use no matter the side"
Pros: I like the fact that it is easy for the customers to get at a low cost and it's easy for us to use as a means of advertisement as well without breaking the bank
Cons: I just don't like how it feels as if the software is forcing the end-user aka customer to either pay out the nose for cash or get one of the e-gift cards.
"I love giftcards!"
Pros: I liked how easy it was to offer giftcard incentives to users.
Cons: I thought that the customer service was not the greatest. When i first started out with this product I needed some help navigating around and they acted as if they couldn't be bothered.
