No customer service, no refund or voucher.

Had to cancel a booking, the host refunded the money to Buy A Gift, but I never received a voucher or a refund. When I contacted them they ignored my request initially, then told me your voucher has expired, when I told them that the voucher was never issued they ignored my message.

Had one of these vouchers

Had one of these vouchers, thought we would have a nice meal in prezzos with it. Three course for the two of us. Absolute garbage, they showed us a different menu with nothing I wanted on it. Saying this is it. Food was disgusting and we walked out dont waste your money

My husband and I had a great vegetarian tasting experience in Bath through buy a gift. It is just so easy to use! One slight gripe as I don't drive is that if you were to choose a hotel deal, you cannot see the actual locations until after you've purchased - that's annoying!

Absolutely awful

Absolutely awful! Was bought a 2 night away voucher as a present . Spent 2 hours looking for a hotel - they are all v random, weird locations and couldn’t find anything!

We decided to book an experience instead- it was really hard to book, the voucher didn’t work and I had to call the experience provider to sort it!

The gift cost £198 - what a waste if money - don’t bother

Frustrating!!

In my opinion the BuyaGift website was very, very difficult to navigate. I had trouble when trying to use my voucher off a business and when I reached out to BuyaGift, the person 'helping' me told me that the company may have T's & C's that stopped the voucher purchase......but he didnt know what they were! So basically he didn't help at all! I told him that I would not be using BuyaGift OR the business either as their website was troublesome too! So in a nutshell, the booking process was difficult and Customer service was really poor. But, it's a Moonpig offshoot, so what do you expect?
