Cardyard Avis 

Bought 5 cards. 3 worked, 2 didnt. Live chat on the website doesn't work and there's no phone support.

Overall, the concept is strong. Being able to turn unwanted gift cards into cash is genuinely useful, and the option to buy discounted gift cards is a real bonus. I also understand and support the quarantine period, as it clearly helps reduce fraud.

Where Cardyard falls down is communication. I had to ask the same question four times on live chat before getting a clear answer, and I received no notification when my card sold. For a service built on trust, this lack of proactive communication is a big weakness.

Looking at public responses to negative reviews, the tone often feels defensive rather than customer-centric. Based on my experience with support and how feedback appears to be handled, I would think carefully before using the service again.

***Edited review due to poor contradictory email and even worse response when I pointed how their own email is incorrect****

I purchased an Amazon voucher and when I tried to use it the same day, was told by Amazon it had already been redeemed. Frustrating but at least Cardyard would refund me...or so I thought. Wrong. Their response is that I would have to hang around for an estimated 3 or 4 days whilst they 'investigate'. Not worth the hassle for the minimal saving. Avoid!!

Update - Investigation complete. Remarkably, it was found that the card was already redeemed as Amazon had stated. Who could have guessed? Cardyard have now decided it will be a further 3 and a half days before they initiate a refund.

I suggest Cards2Cash as a better alternative. Customer service seem to care and discounts are typically greater.

I have bought and sold many times on cardyard, primarily Amazon vouchers. Buying them you have the benefit of saving a few % on Amazon orders, and for other websites you can save much higher percentages. The gift cards I’ve sold are sold very quickly, usually the next day, and always been paid 14 days after. This 14 day wait is necessary as it’s a holding period essentially, in case anything goes wrong. It’s a necessary safety precaution to protect all parties. Cardyard is a very good middleman service for obtaining or selling off your gift cards and will continue using them when necessary.

I've bought 10 giftcards so far. no problems at all, instant delivery.

My first purchase was frustrating. I bought an Amazon voucher, which should have been worth £76.34.

Strange number, but there we are.

However, when I applied the voucher to my Amazon account, it only credited me with £74.36. So I was £1.98 short. I thought "This is a bit of a scam, I won't bother with this again".

But, in fairness, the Cardyard customer support team resolved this problem quickly and refunded me the "missing" £1.98.

So, proving that good customer service can make up for any deficiencies in the product, I thought I'd give it another go.

I have since made three further Amazon gift card purchases from Cardyard and they have all gone through smoothly and for the correct amounts.

Summary: 75% of my Cardyard purchases have gone well, and their customer services team fixed the problem with the other 25%.

Small sample size I know, but that's been my experience.

Overall: happy.

Basically I can now get 3% off all my Amazon shopping. "Every little helps", as a different company used to say...

Used to use their services which seem to be good but until now they want to verify my purchases which they have done before I used them at first. Do not use them if you do not want to get stressed by these people

Very smooth process. I sold an unwanted gift card. The process consisted of filling in a quick form, uploading proof of the gift card and then waiting for payment, I was advised at the time this would take 2 weeks. As promised, I received payment today. Very easy and I will be using this website again. Thanks

This is a pretty good re-sale i just sold a gift card about 2 days ago from now but i read the other reviews and was told that cardyard is a good re-sale ebsite and honestly i couldnt agree more

Spot on service. Had 14 smooth orders, Delivered fast each time

Have used Cardyard to purchase a number of gift cards. Was a bit sceptical at first, but 99% of the time there are no issues. Very occasionally a gift card doesn’t work or has a different balance to what was stated. However, when you contact Cardyard via email they are very quick to resolve either by a refund or an additional gift card. I’ll continue using them as the savings do add up.

The best gift card re-sale platform in the UK, they routinely have the best discounts and the codes are delivered very quickly and are easy to use. Any important info is prominently posted and on the occasions I’ve had problems (not their fault, the retailers) I’ve had extremely quick replies from lovely (human!) agents who resolved the problem immediately. I use them for a lot of my routine spending and would highly recommend.

Smooth process and everything was clear in the selling process. I’ve never sold vouchers online and wasn’t overly sure how it would work but I used cardyard and Cudnt have been happier with the process. Will use again

Amazing Service. Really prompt communications when emailing in. Have been a customer (buy and selling) for the last 6 years.

Avoid, Sold me a fake expensive Tesco card (order code BE52EAB) which was just declined in store...and their Live Chat is anything but..."Usually reply within 4 hours"...

It’s been a seamless process for me (Amazon and Apple Card’s purchased) - I have no hesitation in recommending.

We love the service and the ability to buy cards at a discount. We'll keep using.

Cardyard has been wonderful to me paying well what card you sell with them.
I love them and their customer care is top notch, responding swiftly.
I would want to implore them to work more on Tesco card selling/

Awesome I managed to receive my payment after 2 weeks ❤️❤️

I've bought and sold a few cards and never had a problem

In today's mess of lack of jobs and spiralling costs, it's saved me a few pounds when I really needed too.

Happy with the service.
