If you’d read my post correctly you would have realised that the fact there wasn’t a date of issue on the card was a key factor in the complaint. Also, I would like to question whether you read the terms and conditions of every card or similar offer which is made to you? I fear not.

I find your comments incredibly ill-informed to be honest; you seem to imply that I’m stupid or ignorant when nothing could be further from the truth. You also do not address my argument that it is the responsibility of the card issuer to clearly indicate the date of expiry of the card – a responsibility which was not fulfilled in my case.

I am curious however – is the date of issue printed or hand written on your gift card?

Also, your IP address seems to be part of a promotional marketing spam. I wonder whether your only reason for posting is to get referral traffic and make money from an affiliate scheme – in which case your comments can be duly ignored…..

Smith Sat, 02 Jan 2010 09:17:00 +0000 http://blog.kathyreid.id.au/?p=51#comment-2037 I am of the opinion that if you had read the back of said card, there would be a date of issue. Also on the back is a small list of ‘Terms of use’.
Usually when one purchases something, they would look at said terms of use, to understand how it works. If you looked at the card, you would notice that term number 3 states in no uncertain terms that “3. This card and any unspent value expires 12 months from date of purchase. Our record of your expiry date is final.”

I apologise for your inconvenience but this seems to be a work of your own doing. Please don’t complain about something you do not have knowledge of next time.

PS- If you decide to question my sources, I actually happen to have a wish gift card on me at this very moment.

Its a shame but they say read the T/Cs
