Afternoon Tea

Good hotel. Booking process straightforward and readily accepted a change of date. Delicious cakes.
Would have preferred more of the sandwiches made with wholemeal bread and bone china crockery would have been better.

Really appreciated the ability to swap the gift as we had been given a gift that was too far for us to get to. But changed it to another experience at a venue we could get to.

Difficult to use website

Difficult to use website. Finding suitable hotel to match voucher awkward not being able to book online. Phoning hotel to make booking,,disclosing voucher being told no available dates, several hotels said this. So swapped voucher for meal vouchers and sea life centre tickets. Voucher codes emails downloading tickets etc pain in the bt. Have asked family not to ever buy again for me as the whole thing really annoying

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback Teresa. We're sorry to hear that redeeming your voucher was such a frustrating experience.
We understand how disappointing it must have been to struggle to find availability, have difficulty booking with our hotel partners, and then have to exchange your voucher instead. We appreciate that the redemption process should be as straightforward as possible, and we're sorry it didn't meet your expectations on this occasion.
Your comments regarding the website, booking process, and voucher redemption have been noted and will be shared with the relevant teams as we continue to improve our customer experience.

Disappointing customer service

I received a theatre experience for 2 people for The Devil Wears Prada at the Dominion Theatre. I made a booking for Fri 28th August and paid an extra £25 each to book seats as there were none available which were covered by my voucher. However, 2 days before we were due to go my friend was taken ill and unable to attend. I went on to the Buyagift website and over the chat facility was able to explain that we couldn’t go and was asked to give 3 other preferred dates - which I did.
I was advised I would get a response if this was acceptable- to date have heard nothing and on the date I was due to go, I received the tickets via text from the Theatre -which I couldn’t use!
As I still haven’t had any response I presume that I was unsuccessful in being able to rebook this experience which is very disappointing.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback Janine. We're very sorry to hear about your experience and hope your friend is feeling much better now.
We understand how disappointing it must have been to notify us in advance that you were unable to attend, only to receive the tickets on the original date and not hear back regarding your request to change the booking.
We'd like the opportunity to look into what happened and see whether there's anything we can do to help. Please could you contact our team at trustpilot@buyagift.com with your booking details and a copy of your review? We'll investigate this with the relevant team and provide you with an update as soon as possible.

I bought a voucher but it was not activated at the time of use. I had to pay the full amount out of my own pocket. I complained to Byuagift. They said they would only refund via voucher. I received a voucher for 47 pounds less than the amount I paid. It was an experience where I never wanted to buy a voucher again. However, I received the money I unfairly spent as a voucher. I am extremely annoyed.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback Prety. We're very sorry to hear about your experience and understand how frustrating it must have been to find your voucher wasn't activated, resulting in you having to pay for the experience yourself.
We also appreciate your concerns regarding the resolution you received, and we're sorry to hear it has left you feeling disappointed. This certainly isn't the experience we want our customers to have.
We'd like to look into this further for you. Please could you contact us at trustpilot@buyagift.com with your booking and voucher details so we can investigate your case in more detail and review what has happened.
We hope to hear from you soon and have the opportunity to resolve this for you.
