| Full Review |
Why do I always seem to find myself scrambling to seek out those last minute gifts? Hmmm...while I may never discover the answer to that question, I do know that Webcertificate.com has proven to be quite the lifesaver when it comes to saving face. Even on the rare occasion when I'm ahead of the game, Webcertificate.com allows me to refrain from the difficult decision of what to buy and makes it easy to give with gusto.
Convenience
Webcertificate.com is convenience with a capital C. Not only do you not have to choose what gift to give but also can you breathe a sigh of relief when you have just ten minutes left to give. Once you 1) select a design and 2) create your webcertificate, you can 3) send it instantly just as the site says. The site really is easy to use and there are designs for a variety of occasions. You control what amount you want to give by using a charge card to add funds to your account, and the person who receives the webcertificate can shop for something they truly want.
Choice
Webcertificate.com somewhat turns gift giving topsy-turvy by bestowing the receiver with the power to choose. Anyone who has ever been given something they didn't really want (fruit cake, dress socks, anything polyester) knows how nice it is to have the chance to choose something that will genuinely please them. Webcertificate.com is accepted virtually anywhere on the web, taking the form of a Mastercard when you shop.
Perks
When you use the Webcertificate.com service, you'll have the option of participating in the Webbie Buybacks and Webcertificate Great Buys promotions. With Webbie Buybacks, you'll be able to earn a free webcertificate or two by participating in available sign ups, programs, etc. With Great Buys, you'll be privy to a variety of savings. Also, some websites allow you to earn webcertificates by participating in their point earning programs. Memolink immediately comes to mind, and I have earned through FreeRide and other websites in the past.
Cons
While I have given and received with Webcertificate.com, I must admit that the website's server is sadly sometimes painfully slow and not always 100% reliable. During a frantic dash to select and send, the website will have a tendency to drag along, or you may find yourself having to backtrack and reload. This can be murder on the nerves when the clock is ticking away and your reputation is on the line. For the most part, however, I have had good experiences.
On one occasion, the webcertificate number did not go through the first time I attempted a purchase, but once the customer service contacted me and resent the number, the purchase was approved. This was a slight hassle, but one resolved fairly quickly.
Oh, and those darned fees make me fuss, but are I imagine what keep the site going. Expect to pay a fee for charging funds to your account and purchasing webcertificates. Too bad convenience always has a price.
Send One To Yourself
I've been told that the webcertificates I've given have been received and redeemed with no problem, so it appears that headaches are minimal with this service. I highly recommend Webcertificate.com for those last minute loafers like myself who love to find new and effective avenues for exploring their procrastinating tendencies. In other words, don't forget to give with Webcertificate.com....and even if you do forget to give....this service is a nice and easy way to atone. Send one to yourself and you'll see what I mean!
