1. My order was sent to fufillment today for it, how long should it be before I get an email for the details on it?

2. Is just for giftcards.com or is it a supercertificate?

3. Which address will it be coming from? I don't want it to get filtered into my junk folder! shock

Thanks to anyone who has already asked these questions of customer service and can provide the answers!

ffactoryx he said it was sent to fulfillment, so he's obviously getting one.

1. About a week
2. It's from giftcards.com, and you can choose which vendor you want the gift cards for, down to $25 increments.
3. It'll come from someone @giftcertificates.com

I dont believe that anything like that (Visa/Amex/MC) are available. I'm pretty sure they're store-specific. It makes sense, though. The reason a reseller like GC.com can make money, is that stores are willing to sell their giftcards to a reseller for less, because it's a guaranteed customer.

giftcertificates.com doesn't have best buy as an option nor circuit city. what retailer would people take?

CollidgeGraduit

23-03-2006 06:05:51

Once you get your gift card from them, Best Buy is an option. They are "select merchants". I've gotten gift cards, trust me, they are available.

could the giftcard be used for a different merchant? or break apart the supercert into a few different merchants? or do we have to get teh best buy gift cert?

You could go to different merchants for different denominations of giftcards, whatever your little heart desires.

The funny thing is, you didn't even add any comments to it, or give a reason for posting it. You got a message from CS, that said not to share it with others, and the first thing you did was copied and pasted it onto a message board for freebie users. It seems like you did it just to spite them.

i do think that its kind of odd that everyone has been told to not share the information, yet they blatantly disregard that snippet, even while posting the entire thing on a public forum. i wouldnt do that, just out of fear of... you know... freepay employees getting mighty angry when they see this.
not that i fully understand why they want it kept a secret, because the fact that they are giving giftcards makes them look very good... but i wouldnt flash it everywhere simply because all it takes is someone saying "no" to ruin all of your chances with freepay.

For some reason, the website does not list the Select merchants which are included for the certificates that we order.

We pay a premium for each certificate delivered in order to ensure that our customers can go to at least one electronics retailer to redeem their gift cards. If we did not do this, then each batch of certificates that we send would have a different group of retailers at which you could redeem them.

Rest assured, you will be able to go to a reputable electronics retailer with your gift card because [i7d5d41f3df]we pay to ensure this.[/i7d5d41f3df]

The retailer will undoubtedly be Best Buy.

It is. if you click on your supercert from Freepay check out the url after you "redeem" your giftcert and you are searching for merchants. It has the word incentive in there. It's a whole separate weblayout from the "normal" page.

This is the shipping rules for the "normal" orders.

http//www.giftcertificates.com/info/help/shipping_service_fee_popup.cfm?

This is the shipping rules for the incentive orders.

[list0730000752]Shipping fees are only charged if you request special handling of your redeemed certificate. Your gifts will be delivered for free by email or US Postal Service unless you specify a special handling upgrade.

GiftCertificates.com offers several upgrades in order to provide better service to its clients who might require faster shipping options.

Okay here is some info I received it may help


[i18ac4ce438]There seems to be a bit of confusion on everybody’s part as to what exactly is the Select SuperCertificate, so I’ll try to clear it up for you as best as I can.


The Select SuperCertificate is basically a redemption number that is emailed by our gift cards supplier – www.giftcertificates.com to our customers. It can be redeemed for any one or more merchant-specific gift cards from various participating merchants. The list of merchants can be viewed at www.giftcertificates.com/merchant2. This merchant list includes more well-known brand name merchants from the ones associated with just a regular SuperCertificate. If you simply went to www.giftcertificates.com and viewed the merchant list on their site and not via the direct link that I provided, you will only see the merchants associated with the regular SuperCertificate and not of that for the Select SuperCertificate.


Depending on which merchant you select a gift card from, they may either email or mail you their particular gift card. I believe that Best Buy mails their gift cards to you. I’m unsure about Wal-Mart. It’s specific to each merchant as to which delivery method that they use for sending out their gift cards. I believe at checkout of your Select SuperCertificate redemption number for a specific gift card, it will request delivery information from you. It’s at that point that you should know whether the merchant-specific gift card will be emailed or mailed to you.[/i18ac4ce438]

i blame history

24-03-2006 11:55:11

eh... now i am really contemplating this. not because i have some huge hurry to get the thing, but just so i can get it done and over with. i still cant figure it out exactly how the gift cards work, though. so far i have seen different stories about different stores.

I Throw

24-03-2006 12:00:03

pretty much you can buy $400 worth of gift cirtificates to wherever you want
some work online
some mail you an actual card

there is no fee and shipping is free as long as you use the regular us mail

i have 4 $100 best buy cards coming in the mail

i just love seeing this

i blame history

24-03-2006 12:20:15

so basically, best buy is one of the merchants that sends you physical gift cards to take to the store and use at checkout?

hmmm... i wonder if they are the little yellow tag shaped cards that change designs when you move them back and forth... $400 AND something to provide entertainment!

honestly, id have a very hard time not spending it before a store got a 360 in. there is so much i could get.
or i could be smart and get walmart cards from this and the walmart card form the trainn 360 site and eat for free for about half a year or so. but thats no fun.

now i dont know what to do. meh. wait and pay no tax, or do it now and drop about $30.

24-03-2006 12:25:17

OK a few questions before I decide to get a card of just wait.


Jake, Any word from your supplier when they expect to recieve systems?

I go to circuit city more so if I ordered thier card would it be a physical card I get mailed to me?

Best Buy and Circuit City's site say keep checking back on thier site for availability so my question is do anyone know how often thier websites recieve new shipments because they say they get steady shipments of them in?

Looks like BestBuy and Amazon are both out of xbox360s
http//www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?type=category&id=pcmcat66900050001

Is the $399 system on that page the same one that freepay will be sending when they get their own stock?

Can you use the supercerts in a physical store?

Thanks for the answer to the first question.

My second question was actually about [be20ec251d3]offline[/be20ec251d3] (ie physical brick and mortar store) purchases. Are the GCs good OFFline?

justinag06

24-03-2006 14:51:27

yes

freepay sends an online giftcard that can be redeemed for a giftcard at numerous online retailers. If you choose best buy you recieve an actuall giftcard in your hand through the mail, so when you get it you can choose to use it online or in the store.

the whole point of this is being able to walk into the store though

When they say expect the gc in 7 days do they mean the e-mail or the actual card? because I just asked if they would give me one today and they said yea.

They'll approve you today, process the application for the gift card and a couple days later the email will arrive (pretty much spelling out what Wolfe wrote above). Then, if you choose a Best Buy GC they'll mail one to you.

Rodney

24-03-2006 15:08:16

Has there been any update as to freepay getting their own stock?

BTW, for all of those who wondered why I never answered the question about gift cards on here....

I was told not to advertise the option of getting a gift card as a replacement for a 360. HOWEVER, if someone messaged me directly and asked, I would fulfill immediately.

There were several people who asked and they were the first ones to take advantage of this opportunity.

I filled out a ticket for the Gift Card and they sent me a message saying [quoteb8839c8d60]Due to the high volume of customer inquiries, we cannot provide each person with a time frame of when they will each receive their order.

We ask that you be patient during the order fulfillment process as it is not an "instantaneous" process. Orders are grouped together in the time period that they are initially placed by the customer and then sent to the product's vendor for the orders to be fulfilled.
