What ZillionsGift.com Actually Is
ZillionsGift.com is the official site tied to the “Zift Zillions of Gifts” brand of multi-brand gift cards. These aren’t single-brand cards like a Starbucks or Amazon card. Instead, the idea is:
You buy a physical or digital Zift Zillions gift card with a stored balance.
Then you go to ZillionsGift.com to redeem that balance for e-gift cards from a variety of partner brands (brands vary and change).
Once redeemed, you use the e-gift cards online or in store depending on the brand. (zillionsgift.com)
The official instructions are on the site itself — you enter your Zillions card number, expiration, and CVV online, choose e-gifts up to your balance, and then finish checkout to receive the e-gift by email. (zillionsgift.com)
That’s the idea in practice. But here’s where real user experience gets messy.
What Users Are Saying (Mostly Negative)
Across multiple review platforms, the majority of user reviews are strongly negative:
Trustpilot data shows a 2.0/5 rating, with roughly 79% of reviewers giving 1-star. A small minority are positive but most are complaints. (Trustpilot)
A lot of people say the gift card shows a balance when they enter it, but when they try to redeem for an e-gift card it fails with errors like “We are unable to verify the order information you provided.” (Trustpilot)
Many report spending time trying to use the website only to repeatedly hit errors and not complete the transaction. (Trustpilot)
There are complaints about customer service being unhelpful or not following up as promised. (Trustpilot)
Some reviewers suggest you must use the redemption site online before spending — you cannot just swipe the card at a shop. And that itself feels like a hidden surprise to many. (Facebook)
In short, the negative pattern goes: card shows balance → try to redeem → error at checkout → frustrated customer.
Here are some common themes from real users:
“Error messages during the redemption process.” (Trustpilot)
“Can’t redeem even though card shows balance.” (Trustpilot)
“Customer service does not help or says wait hours/days.” (Trustpilot)
“Brand list on the card cover isn’t always the same list available online.” (Trustpilot)
Mixed Experiences
It’s not 100% one-sided. Some reviewers do report redeeming their Zillions gift cards successfully and easily. There are a few experiences where people pick their preferred brand e-gift and get it in minutes, as they expected. (Trustpilot)
But for every positive experience, there are many more detailed complaints.
Why So Many Complaints?
Here are some possible reasons (based on user reports):
1. Redemption is more complicated than most expect.
Instead of using like a normal gift card, you redeem it online first for specific brand e-gifts. That’s unintuitive if you’re used to swiping. (Facebook)
2. The online redemption system seems glitchy for many users. Errors during the checkout step are a recurring theme. (Trustpilot)
3. Brand availability varies by card.
Just because a card looks like it includes certain brands doesn’t mean all those brands are redeemable for every card. People only find out after purchasing. (Trustpilot)
4. Customer support is inconsistent according to reviewers.
Long waits, unhelpful responses, and suggestions to try again later are common complaints. (Trustpilot)
Scam or Legit?
This is the big question: Is ZillionsGift.com a scam?
Legitimate business structure? Yes. Zift Zillions is a real product you can buy at recognized stores (e.g., pharmacies, retailers). It’s a valid gift card program with partner brands. (zillionsgift.com)
Broken product or scammy in practice? Many users feel it behaves like a scam — because money is spent and then redemption fails without resolution. People online expressly call it a scam based on their experience. (Trustpilot)
From a factual standpoint: it is not proven to be a fraudulent business entity in courts or official consumer protection filings that I can see. But users have consistently reported experiences that resemble scam behavior — where you pay for value and receive little/no usable value back.
So reality is sort of in between:
It’s a legitimate gift card program in theory,
But redemption issues and poor customer experiences are widespread.
That difference matters, because it determines whether regulators get involved vs. it just being a bad product.
