Pros
Verdict
Overall sentiment is split between highly satisfied users who praise the platform's convenience and responsive support agents, and frustrated users who encounter technical hurdles. While many appreciate the ease of digital gifting and retailer variety, a subset of reviews highlights challenges with account access, transaction declines, and gift card redemption limits. Quick resolution from customer service frequently turns negative experiences around for those who reach out for help.
Easy, convenient and loads of options – All of the above. Great gift card option! App is easy to use and a huge range of redeaming options available Show reply
Very poor experience with Prezzee gift card and Accor I was given a $500 Prezzee gift card about six months ago. Like many people, I had not used it straight away, which is one of the big problems with gift cards generally. They sound convenient, but in practice they can be difficult to redeem. I recently booked a hotel room with Accor and… Read more
specifically asked whether I could use the gift card. I was told over the phone that I could. The staff member said I should provide my credit card to hold the booking, then present the gift card when I arrived at the hotel and they would apply it as a credit.
On that basis, I booked the room.
When I arrived at the hotel, I was then told the gift card could only be used for food and beverage, not accommodation. That was completely different to what I had been told when making the booking. From what I can see, that also does not appear to be consistent with the gift card rules.
The real issue is that the rules are not properly understood or communicated by staff. As the customer, you are left stuck. Your credit card is charged, and you are still left carrying around a $500 gift card that is almost useless to you.
This has been a very frustrating experience. I would not recommend buying gift cards like this, and based on this experience I will not be booking with Accor again. A large organisation should be able to communicate its own gift card rules clearly and consistently to its staff and customers
Absolutely the worst customer experience I have had. Three days have now passed and I still cannot access my gift card because the system is stuck in an endless loop. The so-called online help is practically non-existent — no real support, no resolution, and no urgency to fix what should be a simple issue. A gift card is meant to be convenient… Read more
and enjoyable, but Prezzee has turned it into a frustrating and time-consuming nightmare.
I would strongly recommend avoiding Prezzee unless you want to spend days chasing support and still end up with a gift card you can’t even use.

I conducted an online chat, to sort out a gift card emailing issue. The Prezzee representative, Jovy, was very patient and courteous. The issue was professionally rectified and I'm a happy customer. Thanks Jovy. Show reply

This is a freaking terrible app to use. I just bought a $150 gift card for ampol and I cannot even access it. The dumb ai assistance doesn't really help and costumer service cannot really be reached. So what the hell do I do with the gift card that doesn't work but it already charged my bank! So freaking watch out for this app or online nonsense!

Absolutely garbage! Do not use this Prezzee to buy gift cards. It's misleading for customers to swap to shopcards and eventually it takes your money ... "Try again later" ..

Prezzee, I'm deleting my account. I will dedicate time to makiung sure if anyone mentions they will be using your company, I will talk them out of it, in fact tell them they will end up with high blood pressure and go to Afterpay or any of your competitors, not affiliates!**
I am beyond frustrated with my experience using Prezzee. I recently opened an account and successfully purchased three gift cards using PayPal Pay in 4. Everything went through perfectly. However, when I tried to do the exact same thing again—using the same device, the same verified PayPal account, and the same payment method—Prezzee suddenly decided to decline every single attempt. The logic behind their "security system" is non-existent and frankly insulting. Because they have flagged the transaction as a "fraud risk" for no apparent reason, they cancel the order on their end. I don't get why it's flagged, billing and shipping match, email and phone did not change, so it's a pretty trash system if it catches THAT as fraud LOL! However, because PayPal Pay in 4 approves the credit application instantly, the first installment is still deducted from my bank account, FOR ABOUT A WEEK! So now, I am stuck in a position where Prezzee has effectively stolen my money for a week while they "rectify" the situation. It shouldn't take seven days to process a refund for a digital order that they chose to cancel. If your system is smart enough to flag me as a risk, it should be smart enough to trigger an immediate reversal of funds. When you contact support, you get the same tired scripts: "It’s an automated system," "We can’t override it," "It’s for your protection." It is the same condescending nonsense you hear from the big banks. These Anti-Money Laundering (AML) and "security" protocols are being taken way too far. These companies have let the power go to their heads, treating legitimate, returning customers like criminals without any human oversight to fix the error. How does it make sense to approve three transactions and then suddenly decide the fourth is fraud when nothing has changed? It is a broken, high-friction business model. I will be closing my account immediately and taking my business elsewhere. If Prezzee continues to treat their customers with this level of suspicion and incompetence, they won’t have a customer base left. Avoid this platform if you value your time and your money.

Purchased a smart card and was somehow left with $2 which cannot be use as they have a minimum of $5 on each brand. What is annoying Is the principal and I wonder how many two dollars get left on other people’s cards and how much profit they make from this. customer service weren’t helpful.

Do not ever use this company. There is no way of contacting anybody. I was on hold for three hours and still could not speak to anyone. I also have repeatedly emailed and got no response or a response that is just a generic ‘we are here to help’ and they don’t help! I have asked for an itemised list of my transactions which they can not provide!… Read more
Worse still they have stolen $100 from me for a Bunnings voucher that didn’t work! How many more people have the scammed???? Avoid at all costs it isn’t worth the headache.
Even after trying ‘mediation’ on here nothing was resolved as they again did not call me or sort the issues out and I’m still $100 out of pocket. Do not use this company it’s not worth the headache.
I have now lodged with small claims.
I never did receive my itemised account either. This company is fraudulent and owes me $100!

Warning about this compnay! I purchased a $150 eGift card from them on 12 Nov 2024 and added it to the Prezzee app. When I recently tried to use it, the app told me my account had been deactivated. After waiting several days, their support team… Read more
finally replied, saying the account was closed due to “identified discrepancies inconsistent with the terms of service.” Instead of explaining, they simply sent me a link to their T&Cs and left me to figure it out.
The only way to access the eGift card is through the app, but since my account is locked, the money is effectively gone.
If you’re considering buying from this company, be aware: there’s a real risk you could lose your money.
Follow-up · The issue remains unresolved, and no reason for the outcome was communicated. After numerous support chats and phone calls, the customer service manager never returned my calls and closed the case without any explanation or follow-up.

Fantastic site and very easy to navigate. Bought my daughter a digital IKEA gift card as a welcome to your new home present (she had recently moved to Australia from the UK. It was quickly emailed to her as soon as payment went through and I was notified she had received it and opened it. She was so happy and rang me to say Thankyou. Show reply

If I could give zero I would! Absolute thieves. Without going into major life detail, we have had a very stressful few years. During this time, hubby received a Prezee voucher as a work reward and emailed it to me to activate, which I subsequently did, at some point. Probably due to how much I had going on, I thought the card, once in the app,… Read more
could then be swapped for a brand card at my leisure....I was wrong. Over the course of time, not one email from Prezee to remind me that I had an activated card there that would expire if not converted to a usable card by a specific date. And in the midst of what can only be mildly described as a 'hectic period of life' (which is a mild understatement but includes 3 emergency hospitalisations over this time for 3 seperate/unrelated issues for my daughter and a subsequent surgery, my dad having a heart attack-2 emergency hospitalisations and 2 surgeries, 9 funerals-one interstate, including the loss of 3 family members and a family friend all in the space of 8 weeks, planning and attending daughters wedding, helping other daughter find, buy and move into her first property, and my MIL having three hospital events and dealing with ongoing treatments, just to name a few life events)....I somehow forgot about this card!
Now that life seems to have settled down a little and I could start to 'breathe' again, I have been endeavouring to sort through a mound of personal tasks and remembered the prezee gift card. Imagine my surprise when I went into the app, see my $150 voucher sitting there, but am unable to convert it because I missed the cutoff by 30 days. Contacting Prezee has been an utter waste of time. So far they've certainly spent more than the card value defending their swathe of legalities around the cards. Given no explanation as to why they don't send reminders despite having all information required to do so through multiple formats. Then had the audacity to suggest we contact my husband's previous employer and ask if they will give him another Prezee card! Lol. Clearly it's not Australian BB asked customer service,but the level of ridiculous and low level of authority that would suggest such an insulting 'solution' for their theft, gives an indication as to the companies concern about customer service and goodwill. Suffice to say, staff would do equally well working in many insurance firms... thinking not required, hide behind what they can do rather than what's right, swamp customers with paragraphs of cut and pasted rules, showing their legal obligations, and then deny deny deny whilst using language that is supposed to convey 'sympathy' for the 'unfortunate outcome ' that they could resolve but will refuse.
I will be submitting complaints to all relevant bodies including fair trading.
(Added update... Prezee were given opportunity to respond to my review before posting....this was another of their long 'we care/we don't really care, responses, this one appears to have the hallmarks of an automated/AI response, which really cements the 'care' philosophy, not! Adding their email and suggesting I contact them '....if there is anything further they can assist with', um you haven't assisted with any of the raised concerns, through all the available channels, including seemingly happy for this review to proceed, why would i waste breath contacing you again when this was your last opportunity to be ethical right here and now?!)

Great way to purchase gift cards & you can use after pay! I had some difficulties logging into my account once but the live chat person was fantastic! Highly recommended! Show reply
The worst thing about Prezee is that it’s easy for someone or your company to gift it. To redeem it, can be complicated. I had a glitch with mine when trying to brand swap it, it gave me a $100 voucher for something I will never use. Money wasted. The worst part is customer service said too bad, can’t help you. I beg companies to please stop with the Prezee cards. $$$$ down the drain.
