Being an entrepreneur is not for the weak. It’s not easy at all. Fulfilling, yes, but incredibly hard.
I’ll never understand how some people think. You get up, bring down a business (as a business owner). Then double down on misinformation, then triple down and bullied everyone and their experience. Then when the company responds, they’re a bully. The fake outrage is weird.

It’s always “Jamaicans should take more legal action” until legal action is actually taken then it’s “all that wasn’t necessary”

Actually quite the opposite. October was a our biggest month revenue wise. Losing businesss doesn't mean we didnt gain business. Users Actually transacted more.

How do we get people to start reading again? People are not taking the time to read and fact check anything.

She also was in the comments calling Giftme a scam on numerous occasions and encouraging ppl to stop using the app because it’s a scam. That’s why the letter was sent. Just for information purposes here are some of the merchants our users earn bonus cashback from.

she said and I quote, “ it’s giving World Ventures, it’s giving something and honestly I didn’t want to come out here and say it” and then the TikTok algorithm did the rest

What these guys have accomplished in just 5 years is remarkable!
1/There's been some conversation about Giftme, so let's explain what we actually do and how it works. 🇯🇲
Giftme is a Jamaican technology company that has spent over 5 years building digital gifting, rewards and payment infrastructure.
Here's what you should know. 🧵
2/ 🎁 Digital Gift Cards
Giftme allows individuals and businesses to purchase, send and redeem digital gift cards across 350+ participating merchants.
From supermarkets and restaurants to everyday shopping and services.
No physical gift card required.
3/ 💳 One Linked Card. Multiple Merchants.
One of our features allows you to link your existing debit or credit card ONCE and earn rewards when shopping at participating merchants.
No need to purchase a gift card in advance or maintain a separate balance.
Simply use your linked card.
4/💰 Why Is There a Fee?
Processing card transactions costs money.
Our payment processing costs approximately 2.65%, which we pass through rather than absorb.
This allows us to provide the convenience of linked-card transactions while sustaining the infrastructure behind the service.
5/ 🔍 Transparency Matters.
Giftme discloses applicable fees upfront, including before you link your card.
You can review the charges and decide whether the convenience and rewards make sense for you.
There are no surprises about the disclosed fees.
6/ ⭐ Free vs Premium
With the free tier, linked-card transactions attract a 2.65% fee, and eligible purchases earn 1% back.
With Giftme Premium at US$8.99/month, the fee reduces to 1.25%, and eligible purchases earn 3% back.
You choose what works for you.
7/ 🏢 Corporate Gifting & Rewards
Giftme also helps companies distribute digital gifts, employee incentives, customer rewards and recognition.
We've served over 600 corporations, making it easier for businesses to reward people without managing physical gift cards.
8/🛍️ Supporting Jamaican Businesses
Giftme connects consumers with hundreds of participating merchants while giving businesses digital tools to attract customers, distribute rewards and drive additional spending.
We're building infrastructure that benefits both merchants and consumers.
9/🇯🇲 Built in Jamaica. Built for Jamaicans.
For over five years, Giftme has continued investing in technology, merchant partnerships, customer support, security and new products.
Our business model, including applicable transaction fees, helps fund these services.
10/ We welcome questions, criticism and feedback. That's how products improve.
But it's important to distinguish between a service having a disclosed fee and a service being dishonest.
You don't have to like every pricing model to understand why it exists.

Giftme Rundown / The Truth 🧵🇯🇲
I felt the need to address this whole debacle in the only way I know how… with facts. Unfortunately, I got locked out of my old Twitter account and had to start over, so I need some signal on this to get it out 🙏🏾.

We Gitme dont have a problem with ppl voicing their displeasure with a service etc. Weare not perfect but we built the company from the ground with zero “links” we cannot make persons just get up and slander our name calling the company a scam and without serious repercussions.
