i will gladly stay away if you find someone who sells the same product, gives 5x and has a longer guarantee.

The reason for the guarantee is simple. They withhold payment from the buyer for 45 days to ensure he doesn't use it. How long do you want them to withhold payment for? (I don't know this for a fact I'm assuming)
Use them all you want just know that even if you use it within 45 days you can have issues.

I had a similar issue to yours once. Months later one email to cardcash and they resolved it immediately

It all boils down to order verification.
How many ppl here tried selling to Card Cash and were rejected and wondered why?

It's a really tricky business. And very hard verification prosses.

Because the general business practice of gift cards (and how they are marketed by retailers) is that they don't expire. All the cases where the funds are missing involve FRAUD!
They are a GC reseller they are not the retailers. It's a very complex industry and fraud is rampant. They have limitations on when they can get their money back, if they were responsible for it forever they would lose money.
I wonder what people who type "u" instead of "you" do with all their free time.

Some additional thoughts / info on cardcash....

I totally agree with Dan....only get these cards if your planning to use within the 45 days. Period. 

One challenge is...getting the card, checking that the balance is good, then 20 days later getting to your hotel (where you want to use your significantly discounted gift card) and the balance is zero.  Now you're paying full price, not the discounted rate.  Hotels often  have substantial discounts and that's why I'd use a gift to stay at a particular property.

An additional hassle....if you get an e-gift card with no PIN, you either have to call and wait on hold (ie, PF Chang's) or better yet you have to actually go INTO a store/restaurant to get the balance (ie, Logan's Roadhouse).  Both scenarios would keep me from buying these.

Many of you have made excellent points here.  I'm not attempting to bash cardcash...but I think one has to have eyes-wide-open when buying one of their cards.    As someone mentioned, this business is ripe with fraud.

It would be reasonable for DD to post a bolder disclaimer when CC deals are posted that buyers should assume the balance will zero out in 45 days. Would save a lot of DD readers from losing money.

“CardCash guarantees gift card’s value for 45 days after purchase, so be sure to use the gift cards within 45 days”

If I hadn’t seen the above reports I would think that disclaimer was being posted out of an abundance of caution and I would ignore it.

“buyers should assume the balance will zero out in 45 days and purchase accordingly” would grab my attention...

Except my statement is true and yours is false.

+1
As foolish as it may have been I have kept GC I purchased from them for 1-2 years with the full balance intact. Fraud may be common, but its definitely not a given.

Ok. I get that. How about quoting your own post from above:
"If you won't use it within 45 days then don't buy it"
Put that in bold and you have a disclaimer that readers will take notice of....
