Protect This Card Like Cash. Use of this card constitutes acceptance of the following terms and conditionsThis card may be applied toward any purchase at participating Carl's Jr and Hardee's restaurants. This card cannot be redeemed for cash or applied as payment to any account, except as required under applicable law
I ordered one $100 Carls Jr gift card. It shows $51.50 with $50 off and $1.50 shipping fee. Once I clicked purchase button, the total amount in the confirmation became $101.5 for a $100 gift card! There is no discount at all. and I saw the $101.5 pending transaction in my credit card account. It's my first and only purchase.
I called the gift card customer support, the representative oversea first told me that promotion starts from 11/28 so I am not eligible, that's why I was charged for full price. I told him that the black Friday promotion on the website states valid from 11/24 to 11/27. After a few minutes on hold, he told me that when i use the card i will receive at Carls Jr store, I will receive item 50% off there. wtf. I told him just cancel my order and refund me. He said he could not cancel the order, the only thing he can do is create a ticket for his management team, my order cancellation still upon management approval.
Welp, they refunded my money 12/21 like I asked (no chargeback required) and today I see a scheduled delivery from Carl's Jr. . Wonder if it will have zero balance…..
Edit: Card has $100 loaded
This happened to me. I received both the order I originally paid for and the second that they charged full price for. The second had $0 balance on the cards, but they also refunded the money to my card. I have to say they were fair in every way. I would do it again next year if the offer was made again.
11/24 - placed order for $200 in gcs (4 X $50), paid $101.50
12/21 - opened dispute w/ cc
12/22 - received email from buyatab that order shipped
12/30 - received 4 separate envelopes in mailbox. all 4 gcs had $0 balance.
Would never do another gc deal run by buyatab again. Probably won't go to Carl's again unless a desperate road trip pit stop.

I would safely assume anyone who did a chargeback will get $0 balance GCs.
However, has there been any instance reported so far where... [ A ] $0 card balance ANDdid not do a chargeback or [ B ] Card balance was the exact amount paid (no 50% off discount)
Gotta say, I'm impressed with how wildly inconsistent this company has treated this sale.
Some people got their cards.
Some got theirs after waiting.
Some cancelled their orders and got refunded promptly, while some had to do a charge back.
Some folks got $100 on their card, some $51, and some $0.

Sometime around Christmas I had th credit card company get my money back. The next day I got the email that they sent the gift cards. Received the 2 $100 cards I ordered.
I have no dog in this fight anymore but those who have correct balances showing on their gcs - proceed with caution. Not only do you have to worry about the cards randomly not working, I've seen some reviews stating their gc funds magically deplete. The redditor, KarlJay001, who seemed to be so overwhelmingly positive about this Carl's deal (i swore he was a buyatab employee) seems to think his gc funds might be disappearing - https://www.reddit.com/r/Frugal/c...gram_just/
Update: Just sent them an email and they just shipped them out. I think this is a scam so they can make lots of money off people who forget about them. If you don't have the card yet, just email them and they will mail them out.

Just wondering if the website is correct ?

Here's some similar and other horror stories -

- Yelp Reviews [yelp.com]
- Trustpilot Reviews [trustpilot.com]
at best, it's a ton of employee incompetence...
