Quote from NChat1 :
My recalled airfryer was received by the processing company almost a month ago. If you call the customer support# listed on the site: https://www.insigniaairfryerrecal...quiry.com/ , they can look you up by phone number and confirm status.

I was told gift card will be emailed 3-6 weeks after receiving package. Guess I have to be patient for few more weeks.
Thanks for this tip. I called in and got confirmation that my returned air fryer was processed on June 1 (UPS tracking # shows it was received on May 19). The rep said everything looked fine with the return and I just had to wait 3-6 weeks from June 1 to get the gift card.

Mine was delivered on May 10th. Nothing yet. I just called and they said it was processed 5/13, so are "escalating my claim". No word on if/when/how they will be in touch or when it will be resolved, so I will give them a couple more weeks before calling back.

Here are the Customer Service numbers:
For US callers: 1-800-566-7498 Monday - Friday 8am to 5pm ET
For CA callers 1-877-650-5411 Monday thru Friday 8am to 5pm ET

Remember, you can chat with their bot and get a price match.

My GC came a week or so ago and I wanted to replace it with a Ninja. Amazon had the best price, but the BB bot price matched it with no hassle.

This was given to me on the last follow up call I made.

I gave them a courtesy call to close my case. I suggest you do the same. This could avoid any problems with them voiding the original too.
I thank you for the reps.

Just to give some help to others.

Mine was shipped 5/26 and ups tracking delivery on 5/31.

I called. They claim it was received 6/14 and processed 7/11/22.. and it's 3-6 weeks from that date before I'll be emailed a gift card.

I'm not stressing over it so I'll wait without causing a stir but hopefully this is helpful for someone else.

My guess is they got inundated with returns which slowed them all down, the early submissions where obviously handled quicker.
