This is not a reputable company by any means and they have found themselves a great niche as middle men for companies who want to increase sales while pretending to issue rebates without having to sacrifice the full rebate amount.The first red flag about this site is how explicitly they have to specify that your virtual card IS NOT a gift card in their terms of service agreement. This should always raise your suspicions because the only reason to do this is to get around the federal minimum of 5 years for gift card expiration dates. This site’s “reward” (definitely not “gift”) cards expire a mere 6 months after they are issued.You really don’t have to worry too much about the expiration date, though, because you have very little hope of ever being able to use the card anyway. I have attempted to use my reward card at over 40 online merchants and services, both by entering the card info directly as well as attempting to use it as the primary payment option with Paypal whenever possible and it has never been accepted. In fact, a few sites couldn’t even verify that it had a valid Visa card number and wouldn’t even attempt the transaction.The experience with customer “support”, however, is truly the icing on the cake. Your initial support request will get you an automated response requesting the customer service token string for your card - why anybody would want to pretend this useless card is theirs is beyond me. Once you send this token you can look forward to hollow assurances that they appreciate their customers (I suppose maybe they do since their customers are the companies offering rebates, not us) and that their cards are accepted anywhere Visa is accepted while occasionally getting their picture of a fake card confused with real Visa cards that can be used at brick and mortar businesses. I finally requested just a short list, not by any means a comprehensive one, of online merchants that do, in fact, accept this card so I could choose one of them and just blow it on something. They have yet to even respond to that request, let alone provide a list (likely because they felt silly sending an empty one).If you see a business offering rebates in the form of visa *reward cards* from this, or any similar, company you should not only decline the offer but seriously reevaluate your relationship with that company as a whole. At this point, it is unreasonable to think any company would be issuing these cards to their customers without being aware of what a scam they are. I have seen some individuals claim that this company offers to return a portion of all remaining card balances to the respective clients who issued each card and although this would not surprise me at all, I cannot independently verify these claims. Having said that, there is still most certainly something fishy about how Virtual Reward Center operates (or, far more often, *doesn’t* operate) and it should be completely avoided whenever it is in any way possible to do so.
