I've been watching this for 5 minutes now and it's so relaxing, I'm pretty sure I could lose my day to it. Mesmerizing and so cute!

100% do not recommend this as a weight loss program... down 5lbs since Wednesday. Missed the first 2 innings of the game last night cause i was either on lying on the bathroom floor or on the toilet clutching a garbage can no idea what i came into contact with but urgh this is nasty.

Way behind all of my Reward collecting programs, sent hubby out grocery shopping alone so I doubt we'll have what we need! And he won't know what card to flash, what targeted offers to snag, with only 1 request, please sir, may I have more gravol. I can't eat any of the things on the BRAT diet and I'm supposed to avoid dairy for 24-48 hours (that makes up about 80% of my diet)

I had the full 500 miles post for the last offer, including the extra 50 for using Mastercard. No way that I did all of the things i was supposed to do so the surveys had to count. I cleaned up on the Monday flash offer at Shell because I had an offer for 50 miles on a 2nd fill-up in the month - careful squeezing at the end to get 30.02 litres in needed batteries since 2 of our smoke detectors were beeping so why not get them at Shell? Total miles earned there was just reduced by those 30 miles though - wasn't it 1 mile per liter??!!!

Sorry to hear your feeling badly. I understand flu is going around at the moment, at least here it is. I need to hibernate for the next four weeks I think. Leaving on the 30th and I want to make that plane!
Feel better my dear!

This is what AI says
While Zift Gift Cards are a legitimate product issued by Pathward, N.A., Member FDIC and distributed by InComm Financial Services, Inc., they are associated with widespread and significant user complaints regarding the difficulty or impossibility of redemption. Many users label the cards a "scam" due to persistent technical problems with the redemption website and unhelpful customer service.

Key Issues Reported by Users

• Website Problems: Many users report an persistent error message, "We are unable to verify the order information you provided," even with a valid balance. The website is widely criticized as being non-functional or very difficult to use across different devices and browsers.
• Redemption Difficulties: The card must be redeemed online at ZillionsGift.com for e-gifts from specific, participating brands; it cannot be used directly at a retailer. Users have reported needing to try multiple times, on different days, with different browsers (e.g., using Chrome or Edge on a desktop instead of a phone) or by using mobile data instead of Wi-Fi to get the site to work.
• Poor Customer Service: Multiple reviews indicate that calling customer support often results in long waits or unhelpful assistance, with representatives unable to resolve the redemption issues.
• Negative User Experience: Due to the technical and customer service problems, the overall user experience is highly negative, leading many consumers to express extreme frustration and warn others against purchasing or accepting these cards as gifts.

In summary, while Zift Gift Cards are a real product, their functionality issues are so severe that many customers consider them effectively unusable and a waste of money
