I really love the Nift app, it has helped me discover really cool independent businesses with great products. Gift cards give me a chance to try something new, and I've liked everything I've purchased so far!! From beauty masks to natural hair care products to leggings, I love that Nift helps me find things I might not consider on my own. My only complaint is that l've received 2 gift card codes that give me errors and don't work. After reaching out to the specific businesses and to Nift, nobody has responded to help me out. So, worth a try, but beware that it could be hit or miss and you won't receive any support from Nift!

Never asked to be on their list but get emails telling me to redeem a gift from some unnamed business I allegedly bought from at some point. When I try to redeem, it says it’s going to pair me with “local” businesses then gives me the choice of two online businesses that are nowhere near local and only offer subscriptions, so to use the gift I have to sign up for a monthly subscription. The options provided also require me to spend significantly more than the cost of the gift card. (i.e. $30 off a $100 wine subscription). Feels like a spammy way to track my online shopping so they can sell it to businesses wanting to send me more junk emails.Update: just got another one from my city’s parking company and there are STILL no local businesses and I can only pick between two online wine subscriptions & the card doesn’t even cover the full cost of a subscription.

This app is a great way to give free discounts to customers while also benefitting small businesses by letting customers try their products at a discount or even for free! I look forward to shopping at all the small businesses near me that I’ve never heard about before!
