It’s been a couple of years since the last one, but we used to see occasional deals on Zulily gift cards. Those were sometimes via Amex Offers and Chase Offers, but other times they’d offer bonus cards when buying a Zulily gift card.
In case you’d been holding on to any of their gift cards, there’s some bad news. Zulily has announced that they’ve closed operations and are going into liquidation with immediate effect.
What Happens To Zulily Gift Cards?
If you still have a Zulily gift card with a balance on it, you sadly don’t have many options for getting any value from it. That because with the company going into liquidation, there’s no opportunity to redeem their gift cards for merchandise. If you’d already placed an order though, they’re trying to process as many of those as possible.
So what option do you have? Per the FAQs regarding the liquidation:
12. I have a gift card, can I get the money back?
Unfortunately, pursuant the ABC process, parties who may have a claim against the company—or believe they are owed money—will need to file a proof of claim. Please visit https://omniagentsolutions.com/ZulilyABC for claim forms and additional information. We sincerely regret any inconvenience this may cause.
Whether you’ll get some – or even any – money back from your gift card remains to be seen, but it’s worth submitting a claim ASAP. That said, it’s expected that the process will take 12-18 months, so I wouldn’t expect to see any money until at least 2025.
And I just recently got a gift card at Staples, only to see this. At least I got some Ultimate Rewards points from it…
I don’t know how successful you’ll be but maybe dispute with the charge for goods not received. You bought a card and it doesn’t work. Good luck.
