I got a securespend visa card as a gift for 200 dollars, as soon as I went to use the card , the whole 200 dollars was gone. This is so wrong!!!! How can these stores sell a scammers card and help these scammers. I will never get another securespend card and I will post this all over Facebook, tic toc, social media and everywhere I go to even on the jobs and factorys around me!!! Spread the word!!!! This Company is a SCAM!!!! Their getting rich off us honest people!!! DO NOT BUY THIS CARD OR FROM THIS COMPANY!!!! PLEASE!!!!

I can not believe that you can actually charge people for a card at the store to put money on as a gift or whatever, then turn around and take their money before they even get the chance to use the card. It's a disgrace and it is completely wrong. I'm sorry but with all the reviews of this certain card, stores should really pull.it off shelves and stop helping other people to spend our money. Never ever will I get another secure spend and if I have it my way I'm gonna fight to have them pulled out of stores.

Do not buy these cards they are a scam

If I could give a negative number of stars I would. what a scam, card's don't work, calling in is a joke - be prepared to sit on hold indefinitely. AVOID

I purchased a Visa gift card through this company to provide someone emergency funds without them having to carry cash. I followed the card packet's instructions to check the card balance online before giving it to the other person, but the website isn't working. The card advertises clearly on its front, "Non-Reloadable Gift Card Safe for online shipping, traveling, paying bills, and more!" and "No Registration Required." Many consumers purchase these no-registration cards to use them like cash. We give them to others so they have access to emergency funds without having to worry about hiding bills/cash AND there's no conflict with other people using our main credit cards OR chance of hackers pilfering our private data. FLAG ONE -- SecureSpend's website kept returning error messages--that the card info entered was invalid. This continued even the following day, requiring me to call customer support. They first demanded that I enter the card details. FLAG TWO -- now they've linked this no-registration card with our mobile number which is a primary personally-identifying-data source. That's implicit registration. But even THEN, the automated voice system kept saying the card details were invalid. After a long wait on hold, I finally got to speak with a customer support agent who, again, asked me to verify the card info. He then assured me the card is active and, as an excuse, said the company has been experiencing website difficulties. That's not the consumer's problem! These cards are EXPENSIVE, but consumers buy them to protect our personally identifying information (like our email address or mobile #) from potential data breaches and scams. FLAG THREE -- SecureSpend, however, refused to refund me the exorbitant fee to load cash on this no-registration card that ... required registration! This is false advertising. Why are these companies entitled to break advertising fidelity rules with impunity? If you're trying to protect yourself from becoming a victim of very lucrative and increasingly common financial services data breaches, look elsewhere. SecureSpend may still require you to call them, record your mobile number and name, and link these to the credit card number. You might as well just use your regular credit card OR use other truly privacy-respecting--and faster!--payment options. To corroborate this review, I've kept the store receipt where the card was purchased and snap-shots of the multi-day website denial of accurately entered card data.
