HIGHLY HIGHLY UPSET WITH THIS PROCESS
I was in need of urgent fuel for my vehicle. After checking sites that could produce a “virtual card” or any way that fuel could be purchased with a digital form of payment instantly or very quickly, a family member sent a “Circle K” gift card. Upon receiving the email for the “gift card” the ONLY option to “redeem” was to send to a visa or Mastercard. Thats odd, it was supposed to be a Circle K gas card, why can I transfer this to my debit card?. I was not able to use my card at the time, so I “gifted” it to a friend, for the BS $1.95 “fee”. Based upon my previous experience, I told her she could transfer the money to her debit card then send me the money. She activates the card and ALLLL of a sudden it’s magically turned back into a “circle k” ONLY gas card and in order to “gift” the card back to me, pay ANOTHER $1.95 BS fee. WHY WAS I NOT GIVEN THAT OPTION IN THE FIRST PLACE the way that it originally was sent to me as a Circle K gift card? Highly pi$$ed off as this was NOT the “straight forward” get a gift card and use it right away the way the website had described. I was in a financial/fuel pickle at the time(still fricken am) and trusted that it was a pretty straightforward process….. ANYTHING BUT
