My Sea Rocket Fast Boat Tour on Friday…

My Sea Rocket Fast Boat Tour on Friday Jan,9 1PM was canceled because of lack of passengers. I was notified at 11:30 AM that morning.
That Friday was the only day available to us for the tour and we asked for a refund. We were told the refund would take 3 to 4 business days. Three phone calls and one week later no refund. And now we are being told Sea Rocket is not the right source for our refund.
They can't make out where our booking was made. That is who should issue the refund.
Sounds like a scam to me. Here is my booking info I want my refund.

Hi Richard,

Thanks for providing this feedback. We received your email today for your refund and processed it for you. I am very sorry, but if the provider does not let us know that the experience is cancelled we have no way of knowing that we need to refund you.

Horrible experience

Horrible experience. Was gifted a pasta making class for Christmas and was told it’s no longer available. I asked for a gift card for the balance. It’s been almost a week and no reply. Why would it be posted if it’s not available and why can I not get a refund to put towards another experience. This is a scam and I will be reporting to the BBB if I don’t hear back soon for stealing the gifters money.

Hi,

I am so sorry for the frustration and for the delay in our response, especially regarding a Christmas gift. I completely understand how upsetting it is to have an experience you were looking forward to become unavailable, and then feel like your request for a resolution is being ignored.

Please rest assured this is not a scam, although I sincerely apologize that our lack of communication made it feel that way. While we do our best to keep our listings updated in real-time, occasionally a partner venue will discontinue a specific class before it reflects on our site.

I have personally looked into this for you to ensure we get this resolved immediately. If you have any trouble finding a replacement experience or if there is anything else I can do to make this right, please call us directly at 202-719-0385 and ask for me, Justin. We truly appreciate your patience and apologize again for the stress this caused.

Not Secure Website

There is no way to remove my credit card on the website. They purposefully make it impossible to remove a card on their website. You have to go to the Shop app and I can’t log in there because my account is so old that I don’t have the sign in email anymore. I think they must ask for permission to use a 3rd party app and make sure it is O.K. with their customers and that we can ACCESS the Shop app before saving our credit cards there. Don’t do it behind our backs!

Giftory DON’T use passwords so if someone knows enough about you, email etc. they can get into your account EASY. That is why I want my credit card deleted.

They don’t answer the phone or emails…. until I posted Here.

Excellent customer support team

I had a great experience working with Giftory customer service. I was last minute with purchasing a same day birthday gift, so I wasn't really in a hurry to decide on an activity date. When my specific timeframe wasn't available, they got back to me with a few other available date options, making it much easier to decide, book and confirm my specific event. I love how the customer support team continued to follow up with me throughout the entire process. 5 star service. Now let's hope the actual event is just as good.

Hi,

Thank you so much for the 5-star review, and I am so glad we could help you pull off that last-minute birthday gift! We know how nerve-wracking it can be to book something the same day, so I’m thrilled our team could stay in close contact and help you find the perfect alternative dates.

It is our goal to make the process easy from start to finish, and I’m really happy to hear you felt supported throughout the entire follow-up process. We have high hopes that the actual event will be just as fantastic as the booking experience!

Please don't hesitate to reach out and let us know how it went, we’d love to hear about it.

Hi,

Thank you so much for the kind words, and I am so glad we could help you track down that missing gift certificate! We know that with three kids, things are bound to go missing sometimes, so it is always our priority to make the recovery process as stress-free and reassuring as possible.

I am thrilled to hear that the research went smoothly and that your children can now enjoy their gifts without any more worry. We really appreciate your patience and your trust in us to get this sorted out for you.

Please don't hesitate to reach out if you or the kids need anything else!

This is a very confusing service

This is a very confusing service. We received a very nice gift of a cooking class, but the only way to register is back and forth on email. "We don't have your date available, try again." Then we finally got a date confirmed, but they haven't told us where the class is. They say it's in a separate email we should have received, but didn't. Why can't you just make this easy and seamless for customers?

Hi,

I am so incredibly sorry for the back-and-forth and the frustration this has caused. I completely hear you—when you're gifted a cooking class, you want to be excited about the menu, not stressed out by your inbox.

To clarify how the location works: since we partner with local chefs and studios, once your date is confirmed, the class provider sends out those specific arrival details and the address directly to you. It sounds like that email might have hit a snag or a spam filter, and I apologize that we didn't make that hand-off more seamless for you.

We truly want you to have a great time at your class without any more "where do I go?" headaches. We’re glad you finally have a date set, but we want to make sure the rest of the experience is perfect.

Could you please give us a call at 202-719-0385 and ask for Justin or Miranda? We would love the chance to jump in, confirm that location for you personally, and make things right for the hassle you've dealt with so far.

Hi,

I am incredibly sorry for the silence you experienced after your purchase on January 6th. I completely understand how frustrating it is to reach out across every channel—email, chat, and phone—and feel like no one is listening, especially when you were just trying to plan a fun outing that same day.

I want to let you know that I have personally processed a full refund for your escape room vouchers. You should see that reflected in your account shortly.

We’ve taken your feedback seriously, and our team has been working hard to catch up so that we don't have those long delays in bookings or responses moving forward. We know we missed the mark here, and I’m sorry we let you down during your initial experience.

Worth it!!! Really works!!

At first I thought it was a scam and I couldn’t get my voucher to work. It worked after a while a little hard to navigate if you’re not good at technology. i went up to the actual AMC to get my soda voucher. Worth it! Normally I’d pay $53 for two tickets and two sodas but paid less than half! Will be using again 100%!!

Hi,

I completely understand that first reaction! When a deal looks too good to be true, it can definitely feel a bit "scammy" at first—especially if the technology is playing hard to get. I’m so glad you stuck with it and were able to get those vouchers working.

Saving over 50% on a movie night for two is exactly why we do this! There is nothing better than walking up to the concession stand knowing you didn’t have to pay full price for those sodas. It sounds like a total win, and I'm thrilled to hear you'll be using us again.

t’s a good deal but I will not be purchasing again

t’s a good deal but I will not be purchasing again .. I went to redeem the tickets on the amc app and added the vouchers to my cart but then realized I had selected the wrong time so I cancelled the transaction and started booking the correct date and time I entered the voucher number but because I had previously entered it on the other transaction (which I never finalized) it said it was already redeemed and I no longer can use it. I called amc to let them know and they told me they couldn’t do anything on their end because it was through a third party.

Unusable “Giftory” Gift

My daughter gave me a giftory for crumbl cookies for Christmas. We went to use it about a week later. It took MANY steps to even get the gift card. There was a QR code to scan and a credit card type number. Neither worked. The manager of the crumbl cookie store spent over 20 minutes with us trying to get this to work. No luck. We emailed customer service. They responded after about a week and asked for more information. So far, I have never heard back. Seems like a scam. I would book directly with whatever experience you are looking for rather than this place. I’m very disappointed that my daughter paid for nothing.

Hi,

I am so incredibly sorry that your Christmas gift turned into a 20-minute struggle at the counter. I can only imagine how disappointing that was for both you and your daughter. There is absolutely no reason you should have to stand there that long only to walk away empty-handed, and the delay in our email response is not the level of service we aim for.

I want to clarify what likely happened: the initial QR code and "credit card" number you saw were part of the Giftory voucher, which isn't the actual gift card the store's register recognizes. To get the usable gift card, you have to "redeem" that voucher on our site to download the official Crumbl Digital Gift Card. That final card has a specific number that the store can punch into their system or that you can use for online orders.

We want to make this right immediately so your daughter's gift isn't wasted. Could you please give us a call at 202-719-0385 and ask for Justin or Miranda? We will walk you through getting that final gift card or find another way to ensure you get your cookies!

Hi,

I am concerned to hear you feel our refund policy wasn't honored. I want to clear up any confusion and make sure we take a second look at your request.

We have a very clear 14-day refund policy that we stand by. As long as the request is made within 14 days of purchase—and provided the experience hasn't been booked or the final tickets/gift cards haven't been downloaded—we always honor it. If your request fell within those guidelines and was denied, we definitely need to fix that for you immediately.

Could you please give us a call at 202-719-0385 and ask for Justin or Miranda? We would like to pull up your order, review the timeline, and if it meets those criteria, we will process your refund right then and there over the phone.

Unable to redeem the gift card

so I bought two $50 Olive Garden gift card but I was unable to use it when I went to dine out . One of the card I put the voucher number in so it linked to my email address but I didn’t receive any email with actual gift card numbers (olive garden manager said they need 16 digit numbers). The 2nd gift card I didn’t do anything with voucher number.

This was very frustrating and upsetting experience for me. I tried calling the customer service phone number but no one answered, I emailed the support center but haven’t heard anything yet , it’s been 12 days, it says support center will get back to me within 5-7 days, never buying from here again

Hi,

I am so incredibly sorry for the frustration and the "dinner ruined" feeling this caused. I can only imagine how upsetting it was to be at Olive Garden, ready for a nice meal, only to be told by the manager that the information you had wasn't a valid gift card. To then wait 12 days for an email response is completely unacceptable—I sincerely apologize for the silence.

I want to clear up exactly what happened so we can get your money’s worth to you. When you "link" the voucher to your email, that is just the first step. Because each restaurant has its own secure system, you actually have to log into your Giftory account and download the official Olive Garden digital gift card. That download will contain the 16-digit number and PIN that the manager needs to swipe or type in.

I know you said you’ll never buy from us again, and I truly want to earn back your trust by fixing this right now.

Could you please give us a call at 202-719-0385 and ask for Justin or Miranda? We would be happy to walk you through the download for both cards over the phone, or we can discuss a refund since you had such a poor experience trying to use them.

Do not waste your money on Giftory

Do not waste your money on Giftory. I bought two experiences as Christmas gifts for my kids and now can’t even book one. Customer service is nonexistent—emails go unanswered and calls only lead to an automated message saying to “try again later.” I’ve called at all hours with zero success. This has been incredibly frustrating, and I’m now disputing the charge with my credit card. Completely unacceptable.

Hi Dolly,

Thanks for sharing your feedback. I just took a look and it appears you sent in a booking request on Sunday and we do say that we will be back to you in 5-7 business days. The provider just confirmed the booking for us last night on the 5th business day and we have sent over the booking confirmation to you. I apologize that it took longer than you expected but our team is doing our best to get everyone booked as quickly as possible.

Hi Emily,

I am incredibly sorry for the "loop" you’ve been stuck in. It is beyond frustrating to be told to contact us during business hours, only to find the chat unavailable and the phone line hanging up on you. That is absolutely not the experience we want for our customers, and I sincerely apologize for the stress this has caused.

I have personally located your order under Emily Nguyen and, per your request, I am processing a full refund for you immediately. You should receive a confirmation email shortly, and the funds should appear back in your account within the next few business days depending on your bank.

We are currently working hard to fix the technical issues with our phone and chat systems to ensure this doesn't happen to anyone else. Thank you for your patience while reaching out through email—I'm glad I could jump in and get this settled for you now.
