*update on initial review: 08/07, refund sorted* On my second attempt at buying a gift card, on 26/06, I was told the payment had failed, but I can see on my banking app that the money had been taken. I checked the cheddar app to see if the giftcard had appeared, but it hadn't. I contacted support on 27/06/25, allowing for their stated average 2 business days' response time. Not a peep, only the automated message. Tried contacting again, and nothing. Hopefully, they will respond to this review?

Good concept; unlike many cashback sites, you don't have to wait months for your money - it's immediate: as soon as you buy a prepaid card, you get the cashback, which can be withdrawn after it reaches £5. Loses a star because there are a few annoyances, like taking several minutes to generate certain codes (CNA be embarrassing at the till) and having to renew access to your bank account every few days.

The fact that it's gift cards now is pretty rubbish, but that is not why it's getting 1 star from me. I still use it for a specific gift card. the 1 star is because the app is literally unusable. It either completely crashes on opening, or it hangs on a black screen that I can't get out of without killing the app completely. Reinstalling makes it work once and then not a second time. Once the enhanced rate is gone on my gift card of choice, I'll be deleting this.
