ThoughtfulGiftCards.com Review – “Free” Gift Cards Ordeal Targeting Pregnant Woman?

Thoughtful Gift Cards (ThoughtfulGiftCards.com) has become a trending online platform of discussion over the past couple of weeks.

According to public opinion, the legitimacy of Thoughtful Gift Cards is under evaluation after consumers started to receive a handful of ‘gift cards’ in the mail.

As research will suggest, consumers who reside within Utah were among the first individuals to receive these cleverly disguised advertisements, while just a few days ago reports of consumers residing within Wisconsin reported that they too have been starting to receive the same letters.

To find out more regarding Thought Gift Cards, why most of the community is calling it shady and how this clever marketing ruse works, we invite you to read our factual review.

About Thoughtful Gift Cards

ThoughtfulGiftCards is an online platform that supports a wide range of gift cards.

During the time of composing this review, Thoughtful Gift Cards had 574 gift cards available for purchase through their site which supported a wide chain of restaurants, online retailers, clothing stores, entertainment and travel options.

When browsing the Thoughtful Gift Cards platform, and more specifically their supported gift cards, it is implied that you can purchase their gift cards at a discount by using their site.

Allegedly all of their gift cards are available at a discounted rate, however, when it comes down to the check out process (where you may think the discount might finally appear), the ‘discount’ never activates.

Here’s an example: A $25 gift card for 7-eleven would cost $27.95… not $25 or for cheaper, as it is implied.

Whether only select gift cards are accompanied with this discounted promotional status we are uncertain but since their site fails to indicate that may be the case, then we believe that it falls in line with their marketing campaigns, which have been labeled as shady by countless consumers across the web.

ThoughtfulGiftCards Reviews

The majority of the online community believes that ThoughtfulGiftCards is a “scam” or shady entity.

While the information we have disclosed thus far in this review would fail to indicate that Thoughtful Gift Cards could possibly be a scam entity, here is why many online consumers are set in their views.

Free Gift Cards from “Jen”

Just around 2 weeks ago, many consumers who reside within Utah, and more specially Salt Lake City, Utah, started to receive what they were led to believe to be a handful of gift cards.

A consumers name and physical address are printed on the envelope (not written) while the post mark reflected the zip code of Salt Lake City, Utah.

Upon further investigation, consumers report that there is oftentimes a receipt included in these mailing advertisements which indicate that the letter was sent from Thoughtful Gift Cards.

Many of the envelopes going out appeared to be handwritten, sometimes including a smudged fingerprint, with messages like, “So excited for you! Hope you like these,” where it is later signed by an entity referred to as Jen.

This has led to many consumers being confused, thinking that they have received a couple hundred dollars worth in gift cards to various retailers from someone they may know when in reality they are promotional advertisements for various companies.

On February 12th, 2019, the Surry Country Sheriff’s Office issued a warning in regards to the legitimacy of Thoughtful Gift Cards where they believed the operation could have been a scam.

Upon further investigation, the Surry Country Sheriff’s Office reported last Wednesday that the operation in question was not a scam.

Furthermore, the entity known as “Jen” is Jeanette Pierce from Pleasant Grove, Utah.

According to Ben Pierce, who is the General Manager for Mothers Lounge, LLC, these mailing campaigns being sent out are functioning as promotional advertisements for their supported companies.

“I’ve gotten the coupons that are sort of like, “Free $50 value car seat canopy!” and you have to pay a bunch in shipping and the product is crap. But I’ve never heard of something that looks like someone purchased gift cards for you, even including a receipt as if they purchased them from a store, and all disguised in a hand written greeting card. I don’t doubt that it’s scam, I’m just surprised.”

“Post details on where/how/what to share with the FTC and I’ll gladly make a complaint. My wife received this cruel marketing ploy of fake gift cards in the mail and she’s not pregnant. A low-blow insult to families that are trying.”

I feel like if I have a balance of 34.99 and have a 50 dollar gift card that it should cover that fee as well, as I havent used the balance of the card. I feel like it’s a scam because now they need my debit card information in order to process the order. Ill pass.”
