PITTSBURGH, Sept. 26, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- GiftCards.com™, the leading website for gift cards, is now part of the Google Trusted Stores program.

The Google Trusted Stores program gives users background on merchants - whatever their size. When visiting a qualifying store, shoppers can hover over the Google Trusted Store badge and see metrics on the store's shipping and customer service performance. Google also stands behind merchants that have earned the Google Trusted Stores badge with a $1,000 lifetime purchase protection guarantee per shopper.

"Providing the highest degree of customer service and the best possible shopping experience is always our goal," said Jason Wolfe, CEO of GiftCards.com.  "Though we have internal metrics to show how hard we work to ensure customer satisfaction, the Google Trusted Stores badge helps validate our claims and lets shoppers buy from us with confidence."

Earlier this year, GiftCards.com launched a new responsive-design website at www.giftcards.com that focuses on the company's differentiated proposition, personalized gift cards, and adapts itself to all digital platforms for an improved customer experience.
