Could not check out with gift card and regular credit card together
Site Experience FeedbackOct 15, 2025
I spent an hour trying to complete checkout which normally takes less than one minute.
I wanted to pay with few $50 Roots gift card and pay remainder with Mastercard (MC) but payment would not complete. There were no issues with all info entered. When I tried to enter 5th gift card, it went to some programmer’s code.
The balance does not update as I entered each gift card so I don’t know what is remaining balance, screen only show subtotal of purchase.
I tried even with just one gift card but would not accept MC credit card together for remainder balance. MC is not one of the pay optioned listed as not allowed with gift card. I even tried with Visa.
I ended up paying with only credit card and could not use ROOTS gift cards. Why promote your gift cards if shopper can’t use it online with flexibility?
I felt sick from trying to check out. Worst experience. I should have just quit - you don’t deserve my business. It was a gift for someone so I wanted to complete purchase.
When I used Chat, response advised gift card should work together with MC, however, I could not successfully checkout that way.
